St. Joseph Altar

Dear Parents,

We will once again celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph (March 19th) by constructing a St. Joseph Altar at school. We are reaching out to our school families who have baking and cooking talents to possibly help us with some needed items.

Some of the specific items that are needed are listed below:

Cookies (chocolate chip, coconut, gumdrop, oatmeal, decorated sugar cookies, etc.)

Cakes (heart, lamb, cross, other shapes)

Candies (fudge, divinity, praline, etc.)

Breads (wreath shaped breads, cross breads, etc.)

Stuffed artichokes

Others

If you are willing to share your talent with us and make something for our altar, please click on the link below and sign-up on the Sign-Up Genius website (specific items are listed on the Sign-Up Genius).

If you are in need of a recipe, picture, explanation, or if you have questions, please let us know and we will provide that for you. Thank you in advanced for helping with this wonderful tradition that the students and community look forward to each year.

Crusader Dads!

Thank you to our Crusader Dads for the new concrete near the gym! Thanks to their hard work with Strawberry Fest Parking they were able to make this project happen!!

Altar Server Training

On Sunday, March 8th, 2020, at 1:15 pm, there will be registration and initial training for new Altar Servers. Those interested in becoming Altar Servers must currently be enrolled in the 4th through 12th grade (born prior to September 30, 2010) and practicing their Catholic faith (Baptized and have received the Sacrament of First Communion). Registration will take place in the narthex of church. We ask that at least one parent accompany their child; there are registration forms to be completed and also information necessary for parents throughout this initial training. Subsequent training sessions will be coordinated prior to end of this session.

We look forward to seeing you, Glen and Michele Ernst

We have extra 2018/2019 Yearbooks available in the office. They are $40. You may come in to purchase one or send your money in an envelope with your child's name on it marked "yearbook" .
