St. John Vianney High School

What a start to Griffin LIFE! 🙌

We welcomed 48 students to our first meeting of the year, more than our highest-attended night last year! Even more encouraging was seeing our student leaders step up and make the night happen.

Griffin LIFE is an opportunity to further build a Christian community through games, food, prayer, and fellowship. 🌟

Go Griffins!

"We pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul to heavenly glory." - Pope Pius XII

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Assumption.

As a Marianist school, today reminds us why Mary remains at the heart of our mission. Her openness to God's call inspires us to help young men become disciples who are willing to serve others.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us. 🙏 💛

Through the Marianist lens🔎 The Marianist Province of the US - Brothers and Priests

Blessing the school.

Father Dave McGuigan blessed the campus with holy water as we ask the Lord to watch over Vianney and all of our students, faculty, and staff this year.

Marianist education is about more than what happens inside a classroom. We seek to form our students in a community rooted in faith and Family Spirit. 💛🖤

First all-school Mass of the year 🙏⛪

We were blessed to honor the life of Blessed Jakob Gapp, S.M., a Marianist priest and martyr whose courage and faith continue to inspire us. His example reminds us of the call to live our faith boldly and faithfully, even in the face of great challenges.

Our priests wore red vestments today as a sign of martyrdom and in honor of Blessed Jakob Gapp’s ultimate sacrifice.

Blessed Jakob Gapp, pray for us. 💛🖤
