Saint Joseph Parish School educates the whole child. In addition to strong academics and developing faith, a rich variety of offerings provide students the opportunity to expand their learning beyond the textbook. Clubs, activities, and sports provide students with the opportunity to develop leadership characteristics and allow them to explore topics they are passionate about. Saint Joseph Parish School values these opportunities as a significant element of student life at our school.
As part of our Catholic faith and school curriculum Saint Joseph students learn and prepare for the sacraments of the Church. Students receive First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in second grade and Confirmation in ninth grade.
Saint Joseph Parish School students attend mass each Friday morning, as well as Holy Days of Obligation throughout the year. Each week a class is chosen to lead and plan the liturgy where students participate as the readers, gift bearers, altar servers, and the choir.
Students celebrate monthly Adoration and Reconciliation during the seasons of Advent and Lent. Students also take part in the Stations of the Cross weekly throughout Lent. Parents, you are warmly welcomed to join us!
