BELIEF STATEMENTS 1. We believe that Reverence, Respect and Responsibility are the foundations of our Catholic School. 2. We believe that the whole child will be developed spiritually, intellectually, physically and socially. 3. We believe that the academic and Catholic religious formation of our students is a shared responsibility among the home, the school and the parish. 4. We believe that the diverse academic needs of students are met in a rich learning environment with a challenging curriculum and dedicated teachers. Class of 2015 November, 2015 Dear Staff, Students, Families & Friends of Saint John the Beloved School, Catholic education is a great benefit for us. Our parish and staff are able to hand down what is most important to us, the evangelization of the Gospel. Our students and graduates are privileged to be handed to them this discipline in the discipleship of Jesus Christ. Our families and friends make sacrifices to enable this to occur and, most often, reap the goodness in the world around them. As a product of Catholic Education, I cherish what I received from those who loved me and most often are reminded, in my daily routine, of the fundamentals that I was taught.

  • Ordine Costantiniano 2011.Qxd:Layout 1
    Cronache Costantiniane Maggio 2011 - Luglio 2012 Editorial Every year we celebrate our birthday; on October 29 of this year, our ancient Constantinian Order of Saint George will celebrate its 17th century of life. As we all know, the Order was founded by the Emperor Constantine to defend, after the taking of Rome, the famous "Constantinian Labarum". The third millennium sees our Order increasingly projected into the future and to overcome the old boundaries to take on an increasingly international connotation but never stopping to remember the past in the process. In the general session of July 2011 in Geneva on the UN Economic and Social Council decided to grant from August 1, 2011, the special consultative status to the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George. The personal relationships of the Grand Master and Princess Camilla are often propaedeutic to the purposes of the Order, as recently happened in London, where in the Cathedral of Westminster where the Grand Master has presided over the investiture of the new Knights and Dames of the British and Irish delegations after the celebration of the Mass in Latin by the Grand Prior, His Eminence Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino and the Vice-prior of the delegation, His Most Reverend Excellence Mrs. George Stack, Archbishop of Cardiff. Always in London, our Prince and Princess have received the Freedom of City of London at Stationer's Hall, a prestigious recognition that for the first time was awarded to an Italian Lady. Only a few days ago Charles and Camilla of Bourbon received, with the Delegate of Rome, Prince Ruspoli, the King of Tonga George Topou V, the only absolute monarch of Polynesia, who reigns over a small state composed of 169 islands, and to whom they have awarded the Royal Order of Francis I with the secret hope of being able to inculcate the constantine moral also to the polynesian nobles.
