Dear St. Joseph Families, We began the standardized testing this morning! Thank you to the vast majority of parents who were able to have the students here on time. We want everyone here on time so that they are not rushed at the start of testing. Everyone should get a good night’s rest and have [...]
Dear St. Joseph Families, Happy Easter! Remember that the Easter season is to be celebrated for 50 days! We pray that everyone had a truly grace-filled Easter break. Congratulations to the members of our school and parish community who were baptized and confirmed in the faith at Easter Vigils in our local area. Let us [...]
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.

Dear St Joseph Families, Almsgiving is probably the most overlooked of the three disciplines of the Lenten season. We fast because we do not do it very often. In fact, we are only asked to fast from food twice during Lent- Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Still, it is a very important discipline, and we [...]
Dear St Joseph Families, Mid-February already? 2026 has not stopped. Iceovers, fundraisers, book fairs, grandparents day, Mardi Gras parades, spring practices, basketball games, open houses, etc. Life is good, but man, it sure is busy. 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 [...]
