Welcome to the Bella Biondo Research Center
The Pope John XXIII Bella Biondo Research Center - like the school itself has undergone dramatic changes in the past few years. The transformation of our library from the small brick building nestled on top of the hill to the impressive and technologically integrated facility we have today, marks the dedication and commitment of many parents, volunteers, and donors who have given so generously of their time and resources.
Endowed and named after the Biondo family of Matamoras, PA., the family goal is to eventually establish Pope John XXIII Bella Biondo Research Center as the best private school research center in the state. The Biondo family is committed to ensuring that our students not only have access to the latest research technology, but that students are encouraged to become familiar with the many different formats in which information is made available to them today. It is hoped that by offering students a strong foundation in traditional, technological, an integrated research skills, they will be well prepared for the challenges they face as they leave Pope John and make their way in our globalized world.
