Our JPII Players are a determined, hardworking bunch who put their hearts into every performance. Please consider helping them reach their goal and making our productions sound as amazing as they look!

STUDENTS: Don't forget to show your support for the school and sign up to help out at the parade!

JPII young men are invited to discover the peace that comes from spending time with Jesus! This is more than just a meeting; let Christ show you the path He has prepared for you! Families are invited to join the holy hour for vocations.

JPII young men: join this immersive experience where you can pray, learn, and grow alongside other young men who are open to a potential call to the priesthood.⁠ Leave your daily routine behind and open your heart to a new and exciting path. ⁠Led by Fr. Mike Schuetz, vocations director. RSVP here.
