Who is the Saint of the Day?
The second graders were role playing reconciliation. They make their First Reconciliation on Saturday, January 28th.
Seventh graders created a Jesse tree which illustrates the family tree, or genealogy of Jesus.

First graders made angels and Advent wreaths to get ready for Jesus' coming.

 

The second graders made Advent wreaths for the start of the Advent season.
Fr. Brad visited the Second Grade classroom to explain to us how different vestments are used throughout the Liturgical Church Year. He brought in vestments to describe the significance of color and answered our many questions!
5th Graders learn about the sign of the fish

Third graders read a book about a Saint they would like to learn more about. They made a puppet likeness of their Saint, and then shared what they learned with the class. They would like to share their Saint Reports with you as well. Enjoy!

We celebrated "All Saints Day" by dressing as saints and sharing reports about our saints. Can you guess who we are?
Because we say the rosary as a school community every Monday in October, the 7th graders created a rosary which is make up of pictures of themselves and other religious icons found in our school or parish.
The second graders made "People of God" mobiles in Religion class.

Third graders researched a saint, dressed up like our saint and then shared facts about their life with our classmates. Next, we made a movie about our saints! Be sure to watch our movie so we can share with you all that we learned!


Students and faculty come together weekly to celebrate the Liturgy. This celebration takes place at 8:30 a.m. on Fridays except when Holy Days occur. Parents, parishioners and friends are always welcome to share in our liturgical celebrations.

Aside from formal religious instruction, throughout the year our students are involved in many outreach programs to help them develop into contributing members of our Faith Community.


We invite our St. Joseph Parish School families to share in the monthly devotion of the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament as a new tradition for you and your family. During the first Tuesday of each month, every grade will have the opportunity to go into the church during the exposition to spend time honoring the Holy Eucharist. Parents, grandparents, and siblings are welcome to join us!
