St. Joseph Tiger News
August 18, 2021
And we're off!
It has been a busy start to the school year with lots of new families. WELCOME! This newsletter is the first of many you will be receiving and will provide various bits of important information. The format, in the near future, will be changed away from this program, but I will use this for the time being.
Again, welcome to everyone and let's make it a great year at St. Joseph Catholic Academy!
Mass on Thursday!
Reminder, Mass is Thursday. Students should be wearing their mass uniforms.
Families may attend mass with St. Joseph, but must sit in the back of the church and not with their students.
