ENJOY SJC! Take a walk around the SJC campus. Stop at the statue of St. John of the Cross at the school and read the quote. Talk about what you think it means. Walk by Fr. Dave's garden, where vegetables are grown for our sharing parishes. Talk about helping others. Move to the Mary garden south of the church, behind the brick wall. Pray to Mary for all those on the bricks and those you love too. End at the front doors of the church to visit the "Jesus & the Children" statue. Talk about how much Jesus loves children.
