Dear Notre Dame families, 

I did not always love God. I fell away from Jesus at one time. 

Today I love Jesus Christ. I love being a Catholic priest. I am blessed to be part of the Notre Dame community. 

My name is Father Jason Blahnik. I go by Father Jason. I am the new administrator of St. Francis Xavier Parish in De Pere. An administrator functions very much like a pastor. It is good to be here in De Pere. One of the things I asked for in a parish assignment is that it has a school. I have just come from St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Manitowoc. They have Roncalli Catholic Schools and I was incredibly involved in the elementary school. I hope to be involved at Notre Dame. 

Who am I? I am from northern Door County. I am the middle of three children. I graduated from Gibraltar High School in 1998. I went to the University of Arkansas and Mundelein Seminary. I was ordained a priest of Jesus Christ on January 3, 2009 

I was not always a faithful follower of Jesus. I fell away from my faith starting in middle school. I had a profound conversion to the Lord Jesus in college. I have been a priest in Oshkosh, Lakewood, and Manitowoc. 

I enjoy reading and playing board games. I am a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers, and the Arkansas Razorbacks. I have a cat, Thomas.  

I hope to partner with you in the first formation of your children. Please let me be of assistance to you. 

Sincerely through Jesus, 

Fr. Jason Blahnik

2. You will be scheduling your care for the ENTIRE school year. The program will bill a deposit, and then you can choose to pay all at once or in 4 or 8 installments. This will allow you to plan ahead and for us to more accurately and effectively staff the program. 
3. Before and After Care will need to be scheduled separately. PLEASE DOUBLE-CHECK WHICH PROGRAM BEFORE YOU REGISTER.

The registration site will remain open for scheduling and will track drop-in space throughout the year.

Over the past year, I’ve been journeying through the Bible-in-a-Year podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz, and recently, one verse has stayed with me: “Walk with the wise and you become wise.” — Proverbs 13:20

As a parent and as an educator, I’ve felt the truth of this verse deeply. The people we surround ourselves with, especially our children, have a profound impact on who we become. Their friendships, mentors, and role models all help shape their character, choices, and faith.

That’s why we’ve chosen “Walk with the Wise” as our school theme for the 2025–2026 school year. It’s a call for all of us—students, parents, and staff—to be intentional about the voices we listen to, the examples we follow, and the relationships we build. Are they leading us closer to Christ? Are we helping each other grow in faith, kindness, and wisdom?

As a school community rooted in Catholic values, we are blessed with daily opportunities to walk alongside wise companions through Scripture, the lives of the saints, and one another. This year, let’s lean into those relationships and together, grow into the people God is calling us to be.

Our school theme shirt is ready to go!  This year, orders will be placed through an online store.  The link is live now and will be live through August. 17th.  Orders will be printed and delivered to students at school in the weeks following.  LINK
