Principal's Message

Dear St. Juliana Parents,

 

“Rivers do not drink their own water, trees do not eat their own fruit, the sun does not shine on itself, and flowers do not spread their own fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other, no matter how difficult it is. Life is good when you are happy, but much better when others are happy because of you.”

~ Pope Francis

 

As spring blooms around us, we are reminded of the beauty of renewal and the joy that comes with spiritual growth. After forty days of reflection during Lent, may we open our hearts to the new beginnings God offers us — strengthened in faith and inspired by Jesus’ deep love and sacrifice. Let us continue to live out the promises of Lent and embody the Core Values that make St. Juliana Falconieri School a faith-filled and compassionate community.

 

Please keep our 6th graders and their chaperones in your prayers as they attend science camp from May 5th to May 9th — a week of learning, discovery, and community. Likewise, we ask for your prayers for our 8th grade students and their chaperones as they embark on a memorable journey to Washington, D.C., from May 3rd to May 9th. May both trips be safe, enriching, and filled with God's grace.

 

We also want to share with you the tuition rates for the 2025–2026 academic year:

In-Parish Tuition:

  • TK–8th Full Day: $8,910/year ($742.50/month)
  •  
  • TK Half Day: $6,420/year ($535/month)
  •  

Out-of-Parish Tuition:

  • TK–8th Full Day: $10,615/year ($884.50/month)
  •  
  • TK Half Day: $9,018/year ($751.50/month)
  •  

Included in this year’s rate is a $150 annual technology fee. This fee helps cover the cost of student iPad rentals (for 10 months), campus-wide WiFi, networking infrastructure, software licensing, and technical support — all essential tools in supporting your child’s learning in a modern, connected environment.

 

I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Parent Club and to all of you for your incredible fundraising efforts. Your commitment makes a lasting difference in our students’ experience. I’m also especially grateful to Father Michael Pontarelli for his unwavering financial and spiritual support of our school. We are truly blessed to have such a generous and faith-filled community.

 

May this spring bring joy, renewal, and many moments of grace to you and your families.

God bless you,

Dr. Manuel Gonzales
