CHRISTMAS MARKET & TREE LIGHTING CELEBRATION
2025-12-04 17:30 - 19:30 (America/Denver)
Step into the magic of the season at our SCJ Holiday Celebration!

Join us on Thursday, December 4th from 5:30–7:30 PM for an evening filled with Christmas cheer and community joy.

Enjoy the sweet sounds of the season with beautiful carols performed by our talented students and let your creativity sparkle at cookie-decorating hosted by the Student Council. Savor delicious bites from Son of a Bun (@eatsonofabun), along with homemade desserts and warm, cozy hot chocolate lovingly prepared by our SCJ families.

Wander through our festive holiday market featuring one-of-a-kind gifts—from wreaths and sparkling jewelry to candles, potpourri, stationery, Valley treasures, and so much more.

Then get ready to dance, sing, and celebrate as The Clip Downs, our very own SCJ Dad Band, takes the stage once again by popular demand!

​​​And of course… keep your eyes peeled for a very special visit from Santa Claus himself—because he wouldn’t miss this magical night for anything!

We need your help to make this event a success! VOLUNTEERS are essential to bringing the Christmas Market and Tree Lighting to life — from setup to cleanup and everything in between. Sign up HERE to lend a hand!

Bring your family and friends to celebrate the magic of the season — shop, sing, sip, and make merry as we light up the school Christmas tree and our hearts.

BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
2025-10-03 12:00 - 13:00
In the Roman Catholic tradition, October 4 marks the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis is remembered for his deep love for creation, especially animals, and is honored as the patron saint of animals and the environment.

To celebrate, please join us in the outdoor classroom for this special and beloved tradition! All pets are welcome to receive a blessing from Fr. Danny.

To ensure a safe and joyful experience for everyone:

All pets must be secured — whether in carriers, on leashes, or in another appropriate way (such as cages or tanks for birds and reptiles).

Please bring any supplies needed to clean up after your pet.

For the comfort of all, we kindly ask that pets who experience high anxiety around other animals, people, or large crowds remain at home.

If your pet is shy, unpredictable, or has passed away, you are warmly invited to bring a photo to be blessed instead.

We look forward to sharing this meaningful celebration with you and your furry, feathered, or scaly friends!
