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
What a wonderful Grandparents' Day! Thank you to all the grandparents who were able to spend the morning with us. We were honored to celebrate them, and to share our love and God-given talents with them. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped make this day a reality. We are a community of families who support one another, and it truly shows.
There is a lot going on at the school these days, as we prepare for our biggest fundraiser of the year: A Knight to Remember 2017, with the theme - A Knight at the Royal Table. Many volunteer hours have already been spent working to make the evening of November 4th very special for everyone. Thank you!
Lastly, our most recent Spirit Night at Spring Creek Barbecue was a lot of fun! It was beautiful to see so many smiling faces enjoying the food, while our teachers kept the rolls flowing! These events are a wonderful way to raise money for our school, and to share some quality time with one another. I hope to see you next time!
May the Lord continue to bless you and your entire family as we move into the coming months. We ask the Blessed Virgin Mary during this, the month of the Holy Rosary, to help us recognize the power in praying the Rosary daily. This powerful prayer centers around the life of Jesus, thus helping us to never take our eyes off of heaven.
In Christ's Service,
Diane Price
Quotes to Ponder
Everything that is done out of Love acquires greatness and beauty.
- St. Josemaria Escriva
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
- St. Augustine of Hippo
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.
