Dear St. Joseph Families, We enter Holy Week, when we make final preparations for the celebration of the Paschal Mystery of Christ. We will have our Living Stations of the Cross performed on Holy Thursday by our 8th-grade class. We will gather at 8:15 AM for our first performance for our school and then again [...]
Dear St. Joseph Families, Is next week really Holy Week? It seems like everything gets here before you know it. It seems like yesterday that we began gathering at the church on Friday evenings for the Stations of the Cross and to-go boxes of fried fish! Before we know it, we will be celebrating the [...]
Dear St. Joseph Families, The 4th Quarter. In a sporting event such as football or basketball, everyone- even the fans- gets on their feet, takes a big breath, digs deep, and strives to do their best in hopes of leaving their time victorious. The same level of energy and effort should be spent on academics. [...]
Dear St. Joseph Families, There is nothing that brings about greater frustration for a parent than school not being in-person on days when it should be. There is not a good educator alive who would prefer to stay home on such days. Please know that we all feel the same on this matter. Decisions do [...]

When life gets too busy, we sometimes shift our focus from the most important part of our lives- our relationship [...]
Dear St Joseph Families, We were very happy to be back to normal last week! With that, we also had a number of illnesses make their rounds. They seem to have continued into this week. This bears the reminder that if your child has symptoms of fever,vomiting, or diarrhea, the child must be without such [...]
Dear St Joseph Families, What a week that was. If you are anything like me, you’re probably looking for the groundhog to discuss the idea of looking for his shadow ever again. We are very happy to have had a safe and happy return for CATHOLIC SCHOOLS DAY on Friday. We are striving to organize [...]
Dear St Joseph Families, Registration for the 2026-27 school year is underway. As always, St. Joseph gives first priority to all families currently enrolled for the 2025-26 school year. Families were also emailed the tuition rate for the upcoming school year. Today, parents received an email with a link to begin the enrollment process. Please [...]
Dear St Joseph Families, Kindness is a virtue of significant importance and cannot be downplayed. As Page 2 explains, it is the expression of genuine concern for others' well-being. It is easy for us to keep receipts for times when someone has not shown us kindness. Just because someone has not lived the virtue does [...]
