Spiritual Life

In the Catholic tradition, St. Joseph School sees spiritual formation as integrally connected to the academic, social, emotional, and physical development of the whole child. Through in-class and school wide liturgy, prayer, and service projects, we provide opportunities that enable our students to respond to the Spirit's call to find God in all people and all things, live for and with other in a community.

Mass

Students attend Mass on all Holy Days of Obligation and Mass on the first Friday of each month.  Under the direction of their teacher, students in grades 1 through 8 plan and participate in a Mass for the school community.  With many parents and grandparents attending these liturgies there is a true sense of community.

Sacraments

​Second grade students prepare for and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation and First Communion.  
Students in grades three through grade eight receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation four times each year:          September, during Advent, during Lent, and June. Second grade students receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation twice a year: during lent and June.

Prayer

Each morning before the school day begins and again at the end of the day before dismissal we stop for a brief moment of reflection and prayer. Throughout the school day teachers and students take a moment of prayer in their classrooms.  Athletic teams and extracurricular clubs pray before events.

Service

At St. Joseph School students, parents, and staff participate in many service activities.  Middle school students are required to perform fixed amounts of service hours as part of the religion curriculum.  Throughout the year St. Joseph School supports and promotes many voluntary service projects to help students develop a Christian Heart and learn to live for and with others.  Below is a list of a service projects to which St. Joseph Families have contributed.

Parish Mission   
​Affirming our common Baptismal call to holiness and discipleship, we at St. Joseph Parish  strive to deepen our communion with Christ and His Church, by worshiping God through Word and Sacrament, serving our community with God's healing compassion and love, giving freely what we have received, nurturing our children in faith, and respecting the dignity of all human life. In this we hope always to be a sign of the saving power of God in the world, by inviting all people to journey with us spreading God's presence to all who yearn to see His face.
