Preparations are underway for this year’s auction to be held April 27 and 28, 2012. The theme this year is “Carnaval! Party With A Purpose” and was chosen because of its roots in Catholic tradition and the festive mood it evokes. In Rio, Carnaval is a weeklong celebration that prepares participants for Christ’s death and resurrection. The party has a purpose and so does our auction.
The purpose of the St. John School auction is to bring families together in a festive environment to raise money for the school. The monies raised go directly to the school’s operating costs and allows our children to continue to receive a superior Catholic education.
Our goal is to have all families donate a minimum of two quality items to the auction. A printable procurement form is available on this page. The deadline to submit items for the auction is March 15th. Items may be brought to the school office, and we will be curbside at drop-off to accept your donations on the mornings of February 7th, February 23rd, and March 6th.
Thank you in advance for your contributions to the auction. We are blessed to have so many wonderful families in the St. John community. Please contact us if you have questions.

Together we raised over $18,000 through event registration and the sale of 36 cases of wine! Thank you St. John families and friends for your overwhelming generosity. We exceeded all expectations.
