Our Mission

The mission of SDJCA is to provide the environment, resources, structure and opportunities to educate children in the Catholic tradition in order to develop them as responsible, educated citizens and active members of the Catholic Church. SDJCA will strive to instill in each child the pillars of their faith; the need for charity and service; the importance of liturgy, prayer and sacraments; and a knowledge of their culture, history and technology in an environment of academic excellence.

Academic Excellence

Students are inspired to achieve their academic potential through a curriculum enriched with art, music, technology and athletics.

Service

Students are nurtured to build community and reach out to others with respect as disciples of Christ.

Faith

Students are taught to know, love and serve God in a community rich in Catholic values.

WE KNOW JESUS. HE’S OUR FRIEND!
💜Bridging Hearts from the ELC to Kindergarten💜

Miss B and Ms. La collaborated by creating a joint lesson inspired by the book The Sparkle Egg by Jill Hardie; story about forgiveness, grace, and the true message of Easter.

In the story, a young boy lies to his parents. Though they forgive him, he still feels guilty. On Good Friday, his mother suggests creating a “sparkle egg,” drawing a picture representing something he feels ashamed of and placing it inside the egg. On Easter, he finds the egg empty; symbolizing that his shame is gone, replaced by the joy and freedom found in Christ’s resurrection.

Moved by this message, every PK4 student and Kindergartener gathered for a reflective and sacred Holy Thursday activity. Each child thought about a sin or heavy feeling on their heart, drew it privately, and placed it into our communal Sparkle Egg. They prayed, asking God to remove the weight of their sin and help them move forward into Easter with joy and peace.

What a special experience, filled with reflection, love, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be forgiven.
