Adopt-a-Child

St. Joseph School students help support two children - Mariela from Guatemala and Markus from India - through our "Adopt-a-Child" collection which takes place once a month during Mass. These children are part of the "Unbound" program, an international nonprofit founded by lay Catholics to put the needs of the marginalized and vulnerable first. The money we collect goes toward necessities such as food, clothing and schooling for Mariela and Markus. SJS students may bring whatever money they would like to contribute and put it in the collection basket during Mass

First Responder Mass

We will hold a mass to honor the first responders in our community on Wednesday, September 13th. Please invite family members who are first responders (police, firemen, EMTs, etc.) to celebrate with us. Mass is at 8:30am.

Lunch

Tithing

If the parent is a registered, financially supporting member of St. Joseph Catholic Parish, a tuition benefit is available to that parent. To qualify for tuition as a financially supporting parishioner, a family’s weekly contribution to St. Joseph Church should be a minimum of $8.00/week ($416 annually). These contributions are to be made in full by December 31, 2017. Contributions made after December 31, 2017 will not count toward tithing for 2017 and tuition rates will not be adjusted for the next school year (2018-2019). Regular use of the Sunday envelope is necessary as a sign of financial support of the Church.
