St. John Academy reunion Mass and brunch are Sept. 20

Alumnae of the former St. John Academy in Indianapolis will mark the 50th anniversary of the closing of the Catholic girls’ school with a reunion Mass and brunch on Sept. 20.

St. John Academy was located downtown next to historic St. John the Evangelist Church. The first 30 students began their education there in August 1859.

A larger school for girls, which was constructed from 1872-74, was located at 135 W. Maryland St. adjacent to the church.

The Sisters of Providence taught at the academy, which was closed in 1959.

The school reunion begins with an 11 a.m. Mass at St. John the Evangelist Church, 126 W. Georgia St., in Indianapolis.

A brunch for alumnae and guests at the Indiana Convention Center, 100 S. Capitol Ave., in Indianapolis will follow the liturgy.

Members of the St. John Academy Alumnae Association are looking for contact information for “lost” academy students.

For more information or to provide information about missing classmates, call Sharon Kennedy at 317-892-4798 or send an e-mail to her at SKenn63523@aol.com.
