As we continue to grow together as a school community, we are grateful for your feedback and ideas. We heard some wonderful suggestions about making our Grandparents’ Mass more interactive and meaningful for our special guests, and we look forward to incorporating those ideas into next year’s celebration.

Fall Carnival is next week, and we can’t wait to gather for one of our favorite St. Joe’s traditions! Thank you for your continued support of our school community and, most importantly, for blessing your children with the gift of a Catholic education. We are so grateful to partner with you in forming their hearts and minds in Christ.

Faith in Focus: The World Needs Your Love

Every person has been given unique gifts from God. Mother Teresa used her gifts to serve others, and we are called to do the same.

The world needs your kindness. The world needs your compassion. The world needs your love.

Family Faith Activity: Share your gifts with others! When we share our gifts and care for others, we become the hands and feet of Jesus.

You are the light of the world.
