Congratulations to our 2nd grade students on receiving their First Holy Communion! We hope they always stay close to Jesus in the Eucharist and that this is the first of many Holy Communions! We thank their teachers for preparing them so well and their parents for bringing them to Jesus! “If angels could be jealous of men, they would be so for one reason: Holy Communion” ~ St. Maximilian Kolbe

Saint John the Baptist Catholic School is proud to nominate Alyssa Rost for the Christ the Teacher Award. Mrs. Rost has served in Catholic education for five years and is currently in her second year at Saint John the Baptist School. In a short time, she has made a profound and lasting impact on our students, families, and school community.
Mrs. Rost consistently goes above and beyond for her students, ensuring that every child feels known, valued, and loved. From the very beginning of the school year, she intentionally builds relationships—welcoming students with personal letters before school even begins and creating meaningful classroom traditions that celebrate each child as a Child of God. Her classroom is marked by warmth, encouragement, and joy; students sing, dance, and cheer as they joyfully learn to read. She takes the time to accompany each student individually so they receive the attention and support needed to learn and succeed. Families frequently share how confident and grateful they feel knowing their children are in her care, noting her kindness, faith-filled presence, and the genuine love she shows to every child.
Mrs. Rost is an exceptional educator who leads with grace, professionalism, and enthusiasm. She is knowledgeable in her subject matter and committed to best practices in teaching and learning, designing engaging and effective lessons that challenge and support all learners. Her communication with families is outstanding, as she regularly shares classroom updates, photos, and videos that provide meaningful insight into student learning and strengthen the home–school partnership. She manages her classroom with consistency and compassion, earning the respect of families and colleagues alike.
As principal of Saint John the Baptist School, I can confidently say, “Alyssa Rost exemplifies Christ the Teacher through her faith, dedication, and love for children. Our students, families, and entire school community are truly blessed by her presence.”

Thank you to the Bishop Luers basketball team for showing up and greeting our students this morning. Our future knights were very excited to see these ballers!!
Congrats to Fr Paolo and the priests on their win in the Cupertino Classic! Please continue to pray for vocations!
Next week our very own Fr Paolo will be participating in the Cupertino Classic. The annual priests vs seminarians basketball game is an opportunity for all to encounter vocations, watch a little basketball, and (for us in particular) to cheer on Fr Paolo! In an effort to get him a little “fired up” and give us all some ideas for posters- we created the following video! Hope everyone “pops out” and continues to pray for vocations in our diocese!
Help our 8th graders raise funds for their annual trip to Washington DC. With the holidays quickly approaching, take a night off of cooking and join us at Panera! 30% of all sales go toward the trip to DC!
