On Friday, Jan. 17, 2025, hundreds of religious, priests, family, and friends gathered at St. John’s Gym to celebrate the final vows of Father Jeremy Zipple, SJ. The 138th anniversary of St. John’s College (SJC) was also celebrated.
This was a significant occasion for the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth to join the celebration, as they share a close bond with the Jesuits. It was the Jesuits who invited the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth to Belize in 1975.
