Thank You for a Wonderful Fall Carnival!
What an amazing night! Thank you to everyone who came out to support our St. Joe’s Fall Carnival and helped make it such a fun evening for our school community.
A very special thank you to our Fall Carnival Chair, Meredith Fehringer, and our incredible carnival committee for the many hours of planning, organizing, and hard work that went into bringing it all together. We are also so grateful for the many volunteers, sponsors, families, staff, and friends who helped make the night possible.
We loved seeing our St. Joe’s community come together for such a fun night. Thank you for making Fall Carnival a success!

Faith in Focus: St. Luke — A Gospel of Compassion
On October 18, we celebrate the feast day of St. Luke the Evangelist, one of the four Gospel writers. St. Luke shared stories of Jesus’ love, mercy, and compassion, especially toward those who were hurting, lonely, or in need.
St. Luke reminds us that Jesus sees every person with love and invites us to do the same. We can follow Jesus by noticing others, showing kindness, and offering help when someone needs us.
