The program ran for 8 weeks during the summers of 2015 and 2016 with another summer program to be organized for 2017 as well. The goal for an ecumenical community prevent in which other churches and civic organizations assisted St. John's was achieved with so many wonderful volunteers offering time, talent, and funds to secure the success of this program.
