The sacred tradition of our Junior Class Ring Mass was joyously celebrated at John Paul II Catholic School. In the presence of the Holy Spirit, our JPII Chaplain, Father Rafa, welcomed students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni during our weekly Mass. Together, we witnessed the divine blessing of the rings, special class medals, and other cherished items brought forth by the class.

"Juniors, this event is a right of passage as you approach your senior year, and become the leaders of John Paul II Catholic School," said JPII President David Lima, addressing the Class of 2026. "You will serve as role models for the underclassman. Seeking to serve the way Christ would serve, striving the way Christ would love, pursuing the true virtue as young men and women authentically living for Christ; this way of living is critical for our school, society and culture. Please know that you all have the prayers of each faculty and family members as you all strive to live the Christian life."

Blessings and heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2026! As they prepare to ascend this fall to their final year, they are set to become the leaders of our school community. Let us pray for their continued growth in wisdom and grace.
