2021 SJCA CONVIVIUM
Over the 2020-21 Academic year, the tutors and families of Saint John of the Cross Academy were able to construct, with our own labor and the generosity of our supporters, a 40’ x 60’ facility on our beautiful property in Sunset, LA that will become the permanent home of our program. With our building approaching the final stages of development, we are now very close to making the dream we had in founding SJCA a reality. It has always been an integral part of our vision to provide our families not only with excellent and customized academic curriculum, but also with opportunities to develop in their children the practical skills to care for land and animals, to raise and prepare food, to make and mend structures and clothing—to do, in short, all those things which are absolutely essential for becoming a truly competent and educated human being. This, together with the ability to finally host the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the daily offices of prayer at our chapel, is now not merely a far-off hope, but very nearly in our grasp.
Of course, there are still a few financial hurdles that stand in our way. Though much of the major work of construction is complete, there is still work to be done not only on the building itself, but also on the grounds. From the wrap-around porch, to road work and parking space, finishing supplies, kitchen appliances, and more, there are many things which cannot be completed without your continued generous donations. Come and take a look at what many hours of hard work by our tutors, families, and supporters have produced, and be inspired to help us see that work through—all while enjoying the delicious food (and a little SJCA home-brew, of course), great live music, and great conversation we’ve all come to expect from the Convivium.
Saint John of the Cross Academy is a registered 501(c)(3) educational organization. All donations are tax-deductible. Tax ID: 47-4658860.
