Mission Statement

Blessed John Paul II High School provides an accessible quality Catholic education serving families in the

Diocese of Corpus Christi.

Philosophy

Blessed John Paul II High School is committed to the development and formation of all aspects of the

student’s life. Based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, Blessed

John Paul II High School exists to radiate Jesus Christ in all things by encouraging those who learn, worship

and work within this community to serve others and to strive toward the highest ideals of Christian

spiritual, moral and intellectual perfection.

The moral and spiritual life of Blessed John Paul II High School is based on Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic

Exhortation: The Church in America, and strives to:

• enable our students to encounter Jesus Christ through personal and liturgical prayer;

• foster within our students a desire for holiness and a life of continuous conversion to Jesus Christ

despite imperfections;

• provide opportunities for our students to fully share in the Church as a sign of communion to each

other and Jesus Christ; and

• promote opportunities for our students to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ in solidarity with their

brothers and sisters in the community through acts of charity and works of mercy.

Recognizing their varied backgrounds and abilities, Blessed John Paul II High School provides a college

preparatory education requiring diligence, rigor and consistent effort in order to develop each student’s

personal potential for scholastic achievement. In their course work, students engage in the pursuit of

excellence and learn to become critical thinkers. Students are challenged to become witnesses to the

Christian virtues so as to become true disciples of the Lord Jesus not only in their family life but also in the

community.

In addition to moral, spiritual and academic growth, Blessed John Paul II High School seeks to cultivate

physical, social and emotional growth. These areas are addressed through the school’s academic

curriculum, retreats, student services, extracurricular activities and competitive sports.

*Opening Hymn - Sing a New Song...............................................................Dan Schutte

REFRAIN: Sing a new song unto the Lord; let your song be sung from mountains high. Sing a new song unto the Lord, singing alleluia.

All God’s people dance for joy. O come before the Lord, and play for him on glad tambourines, and let your trumpet sound. REFRAIN

Rise, O children, from your sleep; your Savior now has come. He has turned your sorrow to joy and filled your soul with song. REFRAIN

Glad my soul for I have seen the glory of the Lord.The trumpet sounds; the dead shall be raised. I know my Savior lives. REFRAIN

Liturgy of the Word

First Reading Reading 1 - Sirach 42: 15-25..........................................Sarah Perez-Collins

Now will I recall God’s works; what I have seen, I will describe. At God’s word were his works brought into being; they do his will as he has ordained for them. As the rising sun is clear to all, so the glory of the LORD fills all his works; Yet even God’s holy ones must failin recounting the wonders of the LORD, Though God has given these, his hosts, the strength to stand firm before his glory. He plumbs the depths and penetrates the heart;their innermost being he understands. The Most High possesses all knowledge, and sees from of old the things that are to come: He makes known the past and the future, and reveals the deepest secrets. No understanding does he lack; no single thing escapes him.

Perennial is his almighty wisdom; he is from all eternity one and the same, With nothing added, nothing taken away; no need of a counselor for him! How beautiful are all his works!even to the spark and fleeting vision! The universe lives and abides forever; to meet each need, each creature is preserved. All of them differ, one from another, yet none of them has he made in vain, For each in turn, as it comes, is good; can one ever see enough of their splendor?

*Responsorial Psalm

*Gospel Acclamation (Festival Alleluia)

Gospel: (Mark 10: 46-52)

As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me.” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage; get up, Jesus is calling you.” He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. Jesus said to him in reply, “What do you want me to do for you?”The blind man replied to him, “Master, I want to see.” Jesus told him, ‘Go your way; your faith has saved you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.
