All of the students, whether they are remote or hybrid learners, created festive and uplifting Valentines for the sisters, which included passages from Scripture, inspirational sayings, jokes and even games such as "connect the dots."

The Valentines have been delivered to the Motherhouse by Sister Pat Hanvey, SJB Advancement and Alumni Assistant, on behalf of St. John’s. The Valentines will be used to decorate the Sisters’ living quarters. Sister Pat Hanvey, along with many of the Sisters residing at the Motherhouse, have devoted their lives to Catholic education. We see our relationship with the sisters as an incredible blessing and as one that will surely grow!
