Saints at St. John's

Saints at St. John's

Our school is proud to be named after St. John the Evangelist. One of Jesus' closest disciples, known as the "beloved disciple," he shared the message of God's love through his Gospel and letters, inspiring us to live by faith and truth.

Our house saints reflect the diversity of our pupils, ensuring they have inspiring and relatable role models who represent their backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, fostering a deeper sense of belonging and faith.

St. Oscar Romero

St. Oscar Romero was a courageous advocate for justice and peace. As a voice for the poor and oppressed in El Salvador, he stood up against injustice, even at great personal risk. His unwavering faith and compassion inspire our children to speak up for what is right, stand in solidarity with those in need, and live with courage and integrity, following Christ’s example.

St. Margaret Ward

St. Margaret Ward, a brave English martyr, risked her life to help a priest escape persecution. Her deep faith and fearless dedication to others teach our children the importance of loyalty, sacrifice, and standing up for their beliefs. St. Margaret’s example reminds us to trust in God’s providence, even in difficult times, and to always act with compassion and bravery.

St. Josephine Bakhita

St. Josephine Bakhita, once enslaved, became a symbol of forgiveness and resilience. Despite suffering, she found peace through her faith and dedicated her life to helping others. Her story of overcoming adversity encourages our children to persevere in the face of challenges, show kindness to everyone, and embrace the power of forgiveness and love.

Blessed Carlo Acutis

Blessed Carlo Acutis, a young tech enthusiast, used his gifts to spread the Gospel online. Known for his deep devotion to the Eucharist, he reminds our children that holiness can be found in everyday life. Carlo’s love for God and his use of technology for good inspire our children to embrace their talents, live their faith joyfully, and see the beauty in simple acts of kindness.

Each of them inspire us with their faith, courage, and dedication to God, serving as powerful role models for our school community.
