Annual Report 2022-2023
Saint John’s Catholic Prep FAITH | LEADERSHIP | SCHOLARSHIP | HONOR | SERVICE
Dear Saint John’s Family and Friends, THANK YOU! I am beyond grateful for your warm welcome, generosity, and countless volunteer hours throughout my first year as the Director of Development. It has been exciting for me to return to my alma mater and help give back to a school community that has given me so much. Your continued support and commitment to Saint John’s helped exceed all our goals this past fiscal year. The Honor Roll of Donors for the 2023 fiscal year recognizes the benefactors who made a gift to Saint John’s between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023. These gifts contributed to the Annual Fund, scholarships, clubs, sports, and other designations. This Honor Roll also acknowledges the support shown at our school’s annual golf tournament and our 42nd Annual Soiree. These events were a huge success in many ways, due to the numerous volunteers and fellowship of our Saint John’s community. On behalf of our faculty, staff, and administration, thank you for your generous contributions to Saint John’s Catholic Prep. Your support helps Saint John’s provide a Catholic education which emphasizes faith, leadership, scholarship, honor, and service for our students and our community. Your active involvement in our mission through prayer, volunteerism, and financial support allows us to continue inspiring our students to grow into faith-filled persons of character and have a true Saint John’s experience.
Truly Grateful,
Lori (Kelly) Martin ’85 Director of Development

Special appreciation for
Leo Rocca
Leo Rocca, a former Saint John’s Board of Trustee member, has been a dedicated and loyal supporter of Saint John’s Catholic Prep for more than four decades. In May of 2008, he was awarded the Father John McElroy Founder’s Medal for outstanding service and devotion to Catholic education in Frederick County. Mr. Rocca graciously agreed to a donor challenge for the 2023 Founder’s Day giving campaign. In order to unlock his $50,000 gift, the Saint John’s community needed to reach 120 donors and raise $10,000 in donations. The community exceeded the challenge with 136 donors and more than $20,000 in donations. The Saint John’s community is truly blessed and grateful to have Mr. Rocca as a benefactor to our Catholic mission.

AlumNI events Class of 1973 50th Class Reunion On May 25, 2023, SJCP welcomed back the Class of 1973. The day started with a welcome reception in the Great Hall and a special 50th ceremony in the Chapel where each attending graduate was recognized and blessed by Campus Chaplain Father Michael McDermott. The Class of 1973 joined the Class of 2023 processing into the Baccalaureate Mass at St. Joseph on Carrollton Manor Catholic Church. On their way to dinner at Dutch’s Daughter, their vans took a detour past the Prospect Hall Mansion where everyone cheered three times. Throughout the evening, the class of 1973
shared their favorite stories which led to a lot of laughter and smiles. Nine classmates and their significant others attended from Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Illinois.
Welcome Back 2012 and 2017
SJCP welcomed back the classes of 2012 (pictured above) and 2017 on Friday, October 28, for a happy hour followed by a Vikings vs. Revolutions football game. Classmates enjoyed reminiscing through yearbooks, watching class slide shows, and talking with their all-time favorites Mrs. Foss and Ms. Corr. As the stories were being shared with Mr. Knotek, the Great Hall was full of laughter and good times. Thank you to the those who attended. It was great to see how much you have accomplished. We are looking forward to seeing you all in 2027 for your 10- and 15-year reunions.
