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 [...]
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 [...]
Dear St Joseph Families, Welcome to the second semester! We are happy to see everyone back at St. Joseph in 2026! A new year can mean a new beginning for some. Did we do our best last semester? If not, this is the time to show the necessary resolve to do our best this time [...]
Joy. This is the week of Advent we all wait for. Every little kid is excited to see that we light the pink candle. Isn’t it amazing that such a tiny gesture in our liturgy can bring about such joy? I assume this is an unintended purpose, but it aligns with this week's gift. Joy [...]
Dear St Joseph Families, On Saturday morning, I opened the Family Life Center and the Gym at 6 AM to see the work of parent volunteers, who labored to provide the St. Joseph community with an experience that is always special and always beautiful. This year was different because we began to see leadership changes [...]
Dear St. Joseph Families, Cold weather and early sunsets tend to lead us to burrow in our house and retreat from the busyness of the world. You could even say that online shopping has encouraged such behavior. If we are created in the image and likeness of God, as Genesis states, we are created beings [...]
