April 6, 2026Jojo made a visit to our small school in Boyle Heights for our Career Day during Catholic School’s week. His words were nothing but God’s message to our Junior High students. By sharing his experiences, to his finding on God’s love and grace; to also sharing how redemption, hard work and dedication are the right path towards success.
We are very grateful for his visit and happy that one of our school parents was able to connect us to Jojo. We appreciated Jojo’s time and presence, but lost importantly, the way he connected to our students like no other guest was able to connect with them on such a deep and meaningful way.
