Event Programs Breakfast With Santa 2013 | Page 7

A Brief History... ...of St. John the Evangelist School and Breakfast with Santa Since 1950, St. John the Evangelist’s parish school (SJE) has been a mainstay in our community, providing excellent education in the Catholic tradition. Our school was founded, thanks to the efforts and belief of Father Rosensteel, that all children have the right to a Catholic education. The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM), a community of Catholic Sisters whose roots date back to 1845, took on SJE’s responsibility of educating the students, mentoring their spiritual and religious needs, and providing them skills to overcome life’s obstacles. It is in this very gym that Ol’ Kris Kringle - Santa Claus himself - began making early December stops on his pre-Christmas tour over thirty years ago and, for almost as many years, Sr. Kathleen has been here to greet him! Come celebrate this rich history with the SJE community the first Saturday of every December! MAY Santa bring a smile to your face!!!
