History

Juan Diego Academy was founded in 2011 after several years of planning and fundraising. The original school buildings were the site of St. Joseph and St. Peter Seminary. [1] In 2018, the United States government announced its intentions to acquire land near the school from the Brownsville Diocese through eminent domain in order to build additional border fencing.[2]

gollark: You can say "I'll pray to the Lord Athe for you too".
gollark: What's always great is passive-aggressive "I'll pray for you".
