St. Joseph School

We had a beautiful weekly School Mass today as we celebrated the feast day of St. Paul VI! It was a wonderful reminder of his faith, humility, and dedication to serving the Church. At the end of Mass, we were also blessed to recognize three of our students who were awarded the Ancient Order of Hibernians Scholarship Award. Thank you to Mr. McCarthy and the Ancient Order of Hibernians for their generosity and support of our students. We are especially grateful for the spirit of their motto, “Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity,” which beautifully reflects the values we strive to live each day at St. Joseph Catholic School!

4th graders had a blast today celebrating Colonial Day! Dressed in colonial attire, students stepped back in time and experienced life in the colonies by learning colonial dances, making wax candles, sewing, writing with feather pens and ink, and so much more! Thank you to our teachers and volunteers for helping to make today so much fun!

Last week, our 8th graders put on an amazing performance of Godspell Jr. and truly did a fantastic job! Their hard work, dedication, and talent shone through in every moment, and what a beautiful message! Huge thank you to all of the 8th grade students, parent volunteers, Mrs. D, Mrs. M., Mrs. S., Mrs. C., and the countless others who helped make this production such a wonderful success! We are so proud!

On Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. May we open our hearts to God’s guidance, peace, and grace today and always! Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
And You shall renew the face of the earth.

Rain may have changed our plans, but it didn’t stop the fun at Field Day! Students enjoyed exciting stations in the gym, and the Kona Ice truck made the day even sweeter with a special treat! Thank you to Mr. P, Mrs. F and ALL the volunteers who helped make today so much fun!

Kindergarten and 1st grade students honored the Blessed Mother Mary by writing heartfelt letters filled with prayers, love, and thoughtful questions. Through faith-filled learning, our youngest students are growing in their relationship with Mary and deepening their understanding of God’s love and guidance! What a blessing!

7th graders spent time in the lab using microscopes to explore the fascinating world of cells! They had an exciting, hands-on experience observing cells up close and discovering the tiny details that make up living organisms!

Last week, we celebrated a beautiful May Crowning in honor of the Blessed Mother. 2nd grade students first crowned Mary in the church before Mass and then again in the prayer garden. It was a beautiful day as the children processed through the prayer garden carrying flowers and placed them in baskets before Mary. As Catholics, we honor Mary, the Mother of God, because of her obedience, humility, and complete trust in God.
We are so proud of our 2nd graders for leading this meaningful tradition with such grace. Blessed Mary, pray for us.

Today we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord, a reminder that even though Jesus ascended into Heaven, He is always with us! As He called His disciples to go out and share His love with the world, we are reminded to do the same each day through our faith, kindness, and actions.
