2023-2024 Blue & Gold Annual Fund Donors (as of 06/30/2024): Thank You for Your Critical Support!
What is the Blue & Gold Annual Fund?
The Blue & Gold Annual Fund is an essential yearly fundraising initiative that supports and advances the mission-driven programs at St. John Paul II School. Your gift to the Blue & Gold Annual Fund supports mission and ministry, financial assistance, academic enrichment, faculty development, extracurricular activities, and capital improvements.
“We give for the past, the present, and the future of Catholic Education at St. John Paul II School.”
-James and Kasey Boyle, P ‘20, ‘25, ‘27
Why is my gift to the Blue & Gold Annual Fund important?
While tuition is the primary source of funding, the tuition fee does not cover the entire cost of St. John Paul II School education. The resources from tuition run out on approximately April 8. Gifts to the Blue & Gold Annual Fund bridge the gap between tuition fees and the actual cost of educating a student for the remainder of the school year.
"JPII instilled in me the qualities needed to expand my faith, accomplish my goals, effectively study, and confidently communicate. My JPII education gave me the foundation to succeed in medical school and residency while becoming a thoughtful participant in the community along the way."
-Mike Doyle ‘13, Advisory Board Member
“In my experience, in over twelve years as a parent here, the outstanding services provided by the Guidance Department, are one of the best things of all! The Guidance Department at JPII is truly dedicated to the success of students both in school and beyond.”
-Keith Powell, P ‘17, ’19, ‘23
How does my gift make an impact?
Your support provides the resources for each student to nurture their talents as they become adults of character, compassion, and conscience in the spirit of St. John Paul II.
Your gift, large or small, immediately impacts St. John Paul II School students who, in turn, make that same positive impact on their families, communities, and the Church. Your support of St. John Paul II School today is an investment in the values and vision of our future leaders. Impact Report
“The school’s dedication to strong academics, college placement, and overall experience has been exceptional, and we are grateful for the education and support our children have received.”

2022-23 Blue & Gold Annual Fund Chairpersons

Dear Friends,
Maturity. It’s what we seek to instill in students as they grow through their years at St. John Paul II School. It’s what we see in ourselves, too. Founded in 1996 and 2007, St. John Paul II School is maturing institutionally, as the school’s reputation, accomplishments, and graduated alums and families accrue. Not a new school nor an especially young school any longer, JPII has achieved a position to make an even more significant impact on students, families, and the broader Cape community.
Blue & Gold 2021-2022 Annual Fund Chairpersons Michael ’13 and Rachael ’12 Doyle have seen this first hand. As alums and older siblings of JPII students, Michael and Rachael have traced the school’s growth through achievements and increasing impact. In their words, “We’re from the founding years and take great pride in seeing our beautiful young school mature into an essential part of the Cape educational landscape. As alumni and donors, we experienced firsthand the school’s impact on our personal lives and professions. We ask you to join us in investing in the JPII experience today and supporting what it will become tomorrow.”
While many schools were partially or fully remote the past eighteen months, students, faculty members, and staff members at JPII achieved entirely in-person education throughout, a benefit that families will not soon forget. Not surprisingly, friends and families helped the school achieve its best-ever Blue & Gold Annual Fund results. Your faithful generosity to the Blue & Gold Annual Fund is the backbone that enables JPII to keep private, Catholic education affordable and first-rate, and enables the school to confidently tackle new, robust initiatives.
At this formative time in the school’s growth, please join Michael, Rachael, and many others by making your gift today.
Sincerely yours,
