Christmas

During this Holiday Season, it is a wonderful time to count our blessings. The greatest of these blessings is the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We are all very blessed to be a part of such a wonderful school family where we can grow together in our faith and relationship and watch our children flourish. We should never take for granted the environment that we enjoy here at St. Joseph School. Each person helps to make our school a very special place. We wish each of you a healthy and happy Christmas break and look forward to seeing everyone in 2018!

Tithing

PLEASE FILL OUT THE INFORMATION ON THE FORM BELOW AND RETURN TO SCHOOL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

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.
