The saints have shown us the beauty of singing as a way to pray. Student's have been able to use this beautiful gift during Mass! St. Cecilia, patron saint of music and our Saint of the Year, pray for us!

Help us welcome our newest St. Joe's families!
The mentoring program works to help new families feel connected, comfortable and welcome in our school.

Mentors are paired with a new family (or two), ideally with children in the same grade(s) if at all possible.
As the mentor family, we ask that you call and acquaint yourself and answer any questions about St. Joe's.
If possible, try and meet during the summer so they have a familiar face on the first day of school.
Being a mentor family takes a small amount of time, but offers tremendous value to our new families. The commitment is minimal but continuous throughout the year.
If you would like to be a mentor family, please email Colleen Shackelford, Mentor Family Coordinator at [email protected]
