Everything You Wanted To Know
Week of May 27, 2024
A NOTE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Exciting news for our parish and school community - we have learned who our new pastor will be - Fr. Valentine Joseph GASPARRAJ. Fr. Valentine has been a priest for 40 years. In his career, he has been a professor of theology in one of the major seminaries in India. He has a PhD in theology from Catholic University in Paris, France and has worked as pastor in two parishes in the diocese of La Crosse, Wisconsin for 12 years. He has come to Portland directly from India after finishing his term in the seminary as a teacher. Let’s continue the SJF tradition of hospitality and we can all look forward to welcoming him to our community on July 1, 2024.
Additional exciting news is now that we have tallied the final results from our Jogathon, we crushed our goal of $55,000. After looking through PledgeStar, our sponsorships and our expenses, the total we raised from the Jogathon was $63,336! Another bonus - because we reached our goal, we will be hosting a catered lunch from Raul’s for the entire school during the first week of June. We will keep you posted regarding the exact day once details are finalized. Thank you for your continued support!
