2019 HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

St. John the Evangelist Youth Ministry seeks to foster in each student a personal and living relationship with Christ and His Church. In pursuit of this goal, St. John strives to integrate students grades 6-12 into the life of the St. John Parish, the Lawrence community, and the greater global community. This is accomplished through a three-pronged programming model focusing on spiritual growth, social awareness, and service opportunities.

The following scholarships allow St. John the Evangelist Parish to foster student involvement in the following areas:

Outstanding Senior Award: $500

The Outstanding Senior Award will be presented to the senior that shows well-rounded personal growth in all three areas of development: spiritual, service, and social. The student earning this award is an active participant in Parish events and youth activities, is a leader in ministries at St. John, and holds true to the tenants of the Catholic faith, sharing his/her faith with peers and adults alike.

Spiritual Development Award: $250

The Spiritual Development Award will be given to the student that has shown active participation in the spiritual ministries of St. John, whether through praise ‘n’ worship, retreat/conference experiences, adoration, and Mass participation.

Social Justice Award: $250

The Social Justice Award will be presented to the student who has shown an ongoing commitment to social justice and serving others throughout his/her high school career at St. John Parish, in the Lawrence community, and in the world.
