SJVHS alumni find their calling


St. John Vianney High School, Holmdel, hosted two alumni eager to share the Good News about their faith journeys with the student body. John Lukas, class of 2008, and Jennifer Draeger, class of 2006, visited their alma mater May 23 to disclose they would be entering religious life this summer.

Lukas spoke with the male SJVHS students about his decision to enter St. Mary’s Seminary and University, Baltimore, while Draeger shared her plans with the female students to join the Nashville Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, Nashville, Tenn.

“It was such a gift to be back at SJV, and to share the day with John Lukas,” Draeger said. “I was blessed with a wonderful foundation during the years that I was a student at SJV, and I have been blown away by the ways that God has continued to work in my life in the seven years since I graduated.  It was a joy and a privilege to be able to share some of these ways with the current SJV students, and I hope that each student will be open to whatever God has in store for them!"
