Embracing Faith Daily- A Commitment to Religious Education and Catholic Values

Religious Education is a leading reason parents enroll their children in St. Joseph School. Religious education occurs daily. Each school day begins with prayer as a school community. Prayer as well as an emphasis on Christian attitude is included throughout the school day.

School masses are celebrated weekly. As leaders of the school, eighth grade students take an active role as lectors, sacristans and ushers, while students from other grades participate in other roles.

Catholic values are emphasized in all spiritual, educational and extracurricular activities, including:

• Daily classroom prayer and religion as a subject in every grade level
• Weekly mass, with students serving as greeters, lectors, sacristans, ushers and choir members
• Sacramental preparation is incorporated into the school day with a focus on Reconciliation and First Communion in Grade 2, and Confirmation in Grade 8
• Prayer services, Rosary, Stations of the Cross, St. Joseph the Worker, May Crowning and Reconciliation bring the school community together in faith
  
• Service projects for the parish and community
• Team prayer before all athletic events
