"New Beginnings Founded... On Long Standing Tradition."

The Mascot of Bishop John J. Snyder High School is the cardinal.

When asked if he ever wanted to be Pope, Bishop Snyder replied, "No, but I always wanted to be a Cardinal, but I couldn't hit a curve ball."

Bishop Snyder's love for the St. Louis Cardinals is strong and he has been a loyal fan of this ball club for many years. He personally chose the mascot for Bishop John J. Snyder High School.
