IJP ENERGY FAIR
Rays of Hope – Winds of Change

The School Energy Fair on April 20 was a spectacular culmination of a year spent exploring, experimenting and learning about various forms of energy. The youngsters not only learned a lot, they were able to demonstrate their learnings with ease. The student work was amazing. There were skits, plays, innovative projects and displays of all kinds. Congratulations to all for their hard work especially to IJP teachers Mrs. Tolish, Mrs. Mosher and Mrs. Swanson.

INTERESTED IN BECOMING CATHOLIC?
Are you, or a friend or family member, interested in becoming Catholic? IJP has a very active and viable program, R.C.I.A. This is NOT an academic program. This is NOT how many facts and Catholic teachings you can learn. The Church specifically describes this program for Christian Adults as consciously and freely seeking the living God and enter the way of faith and conversion as the Holy Spirit opens their hearts. It is a program of formation and conversion.
Interested? Want more information about this program?
Registration begins in August. The meetings are every Sunday and begin in mid-September. Contact Deacon George at 799-1389 or email Gwbijp@aol.com.
