Fairport-ER Post: St. John of Rochester celebrating its history in final weeks

The Fairport-East Rochester Post reports on annual events now becoming final events at St. John of Rochester, as the school plans for its closure in June.

“It is important for our students, families, staff and alumni to share our faith and celebrate the history of St. John of Rochester School,” Principal Eileen O’Neill stated in a press release. “With 44 years in the Fairport community and dozens of faculty and staff across the Monroe County school system losing their jobs, this is such an emotional time. At St. John of Rochester, we have been focusing on the students we serve and my wish is for them to remember the positive teachings and blessings they have gained from here.”

Secretary Penny Gonzalez said 108 of the students will be going to St. Joseph School in Penfield in the fall. Another 30 will transfer to St. Louis School in Pittsford and the remaining 40 will go to public schools in their home districts.
