VALDOSTA, Ga. – St. John the Evangelist Catholic School (SJCS) hosts an evening of luck and skill at its second annual Casino Night Saturday, September 28 at 7:00 PM. The event, hosted in the St. John Catholic Church Parish Center, is open to the community and includes games of chance and skill including black jack, poker, roulette, Texas hold ‘em and more.

St. John Catholic School’s Casino Night is a lively Fall event; perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. It not only brings together our school’s parents and teachers, but the parish and the entire community for a fun event centered around classic casino games.
