Mingle Julep Mingle wins the Trophy for best School Auction yet! Our 2025 Fr. Doyle School Mint Julep Mingle Kentucky Derby Themed Auction last Saturday was a great success, with many who attended saying it was the best auction so far! Most importantly, we reached our goal of $30,000, and will be able to purchase the desks and chairs for Mrs. Warner's 1st Grade and Señora's Spanish/ELA classrooms!

Many thanks to all who attended the dinner, purchased or donated auction items, sponsored program ads, and/or made monetary donations for the desks and chairs; to the Ss. John and Paul ChurchHill Downs Band (and especially to local vocalist Emily Bawn, who filled in literally at the last minute for ailing band member Mrs. Burns); to the always entertaining auctioneer extraordinaire Jack Martone, Mr. Godin, Mr. Peloquin, Dan Paquette (who helped livestream the kickoff), Alana and Kira Mattias who sang at the Kickoff, and our wonderful auction committee members Kathy Boiardi, Lori Bloom, and auction co-chairs Ashley Sosa and Jen Marra, for all their hard work in making this a tremendous success! Save the date for our FJVD 2026 Auction: Saturday March 21, 2026!

Living Stations - April 8th in the Gym

All families are invited to join us for Living Stations on April 8th in the school gym. Each year, the middle school students present the Living Stations for students and families. There will be two presentations on April 8th - 9:45am and 1:00pm. Parents are welcome to attend either presentation. We look forward to seeing you there.

Ss. John and Paul Annual Egg Hunt this Easter Sunday! Our parish will have its annual giant Easter egg hunt in the front lawn of the Church, immediately following the 9:30 Mass Easter Sunday morning. Come and bring your children ages toddler to 12 years along with their Easter baskets for a fun quick hunt on the front lawn of SSJP. There will be 3 age groupings – toddler to 4 years – 5 to 8 - and 9 up to 12 years with a prize for a winner in each age group. This year, we not only have candy in the eggs, but we also have a lot of eggs for ages 5 and up that contain toys! Parents, please note every effort has been made to exclude any nut or nut contaminated products, but please inspect all candies if you have an allergic child.

The annual FJVD Read-a-thon begins Tuesday, April 22nd!

The Read-a-thon is a great way to encourage reading while also supporting our school!

About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts, we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.

If you would like to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/fvJXoT/1 and following the simple instructions.

This year, we're aiming for 100% participation - and no donation is too small. Thank you so much for your support!

As always, be assured of my prayers for you and your families.

Sincerely,

Mr. Peloquin
