Brother John Fairfax, was a respected Christian Brother at Archbishop Rummel high school ! From 1962 to 1979 He was a leader to our education!
We as Alumni are Honoring Him by building a monument and Prayer garden in His name !
We will never forget Him & what He ment to so many Students that knew Him!
Brother John inspired young Students to find their way becoming Educated Christian Men!
God bless Brother John!
Brother John was a true renaissance man filled with the Holy Spirit.
This doesn’t just mean he was an old, or really old religious guy, even though he may have been both.
The man I’ve known for so many years was knowledgeable, educated and proficient in a wide range of disciplines and individual competencies.
Any challenge he was faced in his life or topic of discussion presented to him, he always relied upon his spirit, His Holy Spirit for direction. From and with his relationship with Jesus, Bro John extracted, demonstrated and shared just the appropriate amount of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord to those who needed it.
How could one man be so blessed? He was tested his whole life. Through the tests come blessings. And some of those tests were provided by me.

This world is a better place because of your lifetime of service, Brother John. Rest now in peace - and in the joy of seeing God face-to-face.

Bro. John personified Archbishop Rummel High School. He knew the entire student body by name and was a great role model for the formation of young men. May he rest in peace.
