Each October Episcopal schools and churches across the country celebrate the benefits and blessings of Episcopal education in the lives of students and their families. This year we will culminate the national Episcopal Schools Week with an Episcopal Schools Celebration Sunday at St. John’s Church. Whatever your own faith tradition or background, the St. John’s community invites you and your family to gather for a celebratory morning of worship and learning.
