Mission Statement
St. Joseph Catholic School provides students with a safe and prayerful learning environment, enveloped by an intimate community of active and faithful families.
Our Motto: Teaching the Mind...Nourishing the Soul
Theme for the Year - Beauty
From the Principal
It was so nice to see many of our families at CiCi's Pizza this past Tuesday! I hope everyone who was able to make it, really enjoyed this time with family and friends. Thank you so much for supporting the school in this way.
The Gift Card Donation Drive for the victims of Hurricane Harvey is still underway. Your kindness and generosity means so much to our brothers and sisters in South Texas. We have not received any students from the flooded areas, but we are still supporting them in our own way. Thank you!
In Christ's Service,
Diane Price
New Quotes to Ponder
Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
- St. Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa)
All that is good, all that is true, all that is beautiful, brings us to God.
- Pope Francis
At St. Joseph Catholic School, we are striving to become missionary disciples by bringing others to Christ, through the recognition of what is beautiful around us each and every day, and reflecting that beauty in our actions.
