Today, several of our 8th grade students, Mrs. Durkin, Mrs. Plomchok, and members of St. Robert Bellarmine Parish participated in the 6th Annual PA March for life in Harrisburg.
It is the same message every year, which is life is precious, all human life deserves protection, and dignity. This includes the unborn and elderly because we are all human beings. Let us remember in our daily prayer the protection of all human life! #WeAreSJR, #SJRproud, #archphilly, #AOPS_schools, @AOPS_schools ... See MoreSee Less

This Catechetical Sunday, we come together as a parish and Church community to recognize and celebrate those who dedicate themselves to sharing and nurturing our Catholic faith.
At SJR, we are especially grateful for our wonderful faculty and staff, who make faith formation an important part of the experience of every student. Each day, our teachers guide and inspire our students—not only in the classroom, but in living out their faith through kindness, compassion, and service. We also honor parents and guardians as the true first catechists, sharing the Catholic faith with their families.
This year’s theme reminds us of Jesus’ call to bring hope and healing to those most in need. We are thankful for the many people who help our students understand that faith is not simply something we learn—it is something we live and share every day.
Thank you to our dedicated SJR faculty, staff, parents/guardians, and parish community for helping form the hearts and minds of our students and inspiring them to live with faith and purpose. ... See MoreSee Less

Thursday night was all about FAMILY, FUN, and ENERGY! We were thrilled to welcome Coach Ryan from Let’s Grow Sports, who joined us for Catholic Schools Week and led our basketball camp this summer. Our SJR families showed up in their spirit wear and brought the energy as we kicked off the school year together!
Coach Ryan reminded us of an important message: We each create our own energy, and our energy can shape how we feel. MOTION CREATES EMOTION! Moving our bodies can change our mindset, lift our spirits, and help us feel our best!
Coach Ryan’s challenge to us? Celebrate yourself everyday, keep moving, keep smiling, and create your energy! What a great way to start the school year with movement, positivity, and our SJR family together!
A special thank you to our amazing HSA for their energy in organizing such a fun evening, and bringing our school community together. #WeAreSJR, #archphilly, #AOPS_schools, @AOPS_schools, #letsgrowsports, Let’s Grow Sports ... See MoreSee Less

Friday night was the perfect warm evening for SJR families to gather under a beautiful, clear sky and enjoy Disney’s Hoppers movie together!
From kids cozy in their pajamas to plenty of snacks, laughter, and family fun, the night was filled with smilies, and a fantastic crowd.
A huge thank you to John Shimp for the movie setup, the HSA for hosting this annual event, and creating such an enjoyable night for our families! Here’s to a year filled with community, and plenty of SJR memories! #WeAreSJR, #SJRproud, #archphilly, #AOPS_schools, @AOPS_schools ... See MoreSee Less
