Parent Volunteers
Parent Volunteers are welcome to help make these activities possible. Parent volunteers don’t have to be an “authority” on Catholic traditions, just people who like to learn, grow, and share in the faith alongside the students of our school. If you are interested on being part of a wonderful group of moms who help make these events possible, please contact Patti Jasinski – Director of Student Leadership and Campus Ministry Projects – pjasinski@saintjohnxxiii.org
