💚WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!💚

Tomorrow, we are excited to begin another school year at
St. Joseph School! As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, we look forward to living our theme, “Light the Way,” by allowing Christ’s light to shine through our words, our actions, and how we care for one another. 💚

🙏 A Prayer for Our School Year

Heavenly Father,
As we begin this new school year, we ask You to bless our teachers and staff with wisdom, patience, strength, and joy. May they be a light to each child entrusted to their care.

Bless our students with curious minds, kind hearts, courage to try new things, and a desire to grow in faith and knowledge. Help them to let their light shine and to be a light for others.

Bless our families for the love, support, and trust they give to our school. May our homes, classrooms, and school community always be filled with Your presence.

Lord, guide us throughout this year. Help us to follow Your light, share Your love, and Light the Way for one another.

May Christ be our light and lead us in all that we do. Amen. ✝️

We are excited to welcome our students back and begin another wonderful year of learning, growing, praying, and shining together!

💚 Welcome back, St. Joseph School! Let’s Light the Way! 💚

A Heartfelt Thank You! ❤️🤍💙

A sincere and heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make St. Joseph’s 87th Annual Fourth of July Celebration such a wonderful success!

Whether you helped to organize the event, served on a committee, donated items, made noodles, made or quilted the quilts, baked, cooked, worked in the kitchen, served meals, served takeouts, sold tickets, purchased tickets, worked at the games or stands, counted the money, set up the stands and canopies, set up or cleaned up, volunteered your time, helped with or raced in the 5K, sponsored the event, provided entertainment, donated supplies, or simply came out to support us by attending, you made a difference.

A special thank you goes out to those who came out early on the 4th to help reset the stands and canopies after the storm damage. Your quick response, hard work, and willingness to lend a hand helped ensure the celebration could continue and was truly appreciated.

Events like this are only possible because of the incredible generosity, dedication, and teamwork of so many people. We are truly blessed with a parish and school community that is always willing to lend a helping hand.

Thank you for sharing your time, talents, and generosity. Your support helps strengthen our parish and school, and we are deeply grateful for each and every one of you.

May God bless you all, and thank you for being such an important part of the St. Joseph family!
