STUDENT ACTIVITIES AT MSJ
Participating in athletics, music programs, drama, and co-curricular activities benefit students by teaching them new skills, exposing them to new ways of thinking, and building bonds that last a lifetime.
MSJ encourages all students to participate a variety of activities to enhance their educational experience.
​
Community Service
MSJ fosters a sense of gospel-based service. This service is rooted in the two greatest commandments “to love God with your whole heart and soul” and “to love your neighbor as yourself.”
