We are thrilled to have his enthusiasm and energy joining our Phoenix community!

A huge thank you to our summer CRE students and Mr. Chilinski! With their help, over 92 pounds of produce was donated to the Food Pantry! Potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, kale, swiss chard, and a variety of herds were all harvested!
We're Looking for a Volleyball Coach!
Do you have a passion for volleyball and enjoy working with students? St. John XXIII Catholic School is looking for a 6th/7th Grade Girls Volleyball Coach for the upcoming season! This is a wonderful opportunity to make a difference, build confidence, ...teach teamwork, and help our student-athletes grow both on and off the court. Interested or know someone who would be a great fit? Please reach out to zwilder@stjohn23rd.school for more information.
We are so incredibly blessed to have the Skinkis family as part of our St. John XXIII Catholic School community. Now it's our turn to surround them with the love, prayers, and support that make our school family so special.
Join us on Friday, August 14, from 6:00–9:00 PM at Belgium ...Community Park for Belgium Summer Nights Live, a special benefit for William.
William is living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare progressive neuromuscular disease that affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling muscles. Over time, it can make everyday activities like walking, standing, swallowing, and even breathing increasingly difficult. Ongoing medical care and intensive physical therapy are essential to helping William stay as strong and independent as possible.
Come enjoy an evening filled with bucket raffles, live music by The Shad Lads, food, beer & wine, Kickball, and a Kids' Zone featuring a bounce house. Please note: This is a cash-only event, and 100% of the proceeds will help support William's medical expenses and physical therapy intensives. Every meal purchased, raffle ticket entered, and dollar donated makes a difference. We hope to see many of our St. John XXIII families there as we come together to support one of our own.
