Our
Mission Statement
We, at St. Joseph Parish School, are a community dedicated to nurturing
the gospel values of our students. We believe in the intrinsic worth,
goodness,
and potential of every child.
Through our teaching and the support of our families and parish we are
dedicated
to providing educational excellence, fostering Christian attitudes, and
developing faith in our students.
Our School Philosophy
Catholic education at St. Joseph Parish School is an expression of
the mission entrusted by Jesus to the Church He founded. The
formation of this mission within children is the primary
responsibility of the parents. St. Joseph Parish assists,
encourages and supports the development of a prayerful and personal
relationship with God and the integration of the Gospel values into
daily life. Thus, our students will be able to accept the
responsibility of service to God, one another, the Church, the
community and the world.
Our School Goals
In light of our philosophy, the objectives of St. Joseph Parish
School are as follows:
1. To make the
Catholic Faith an integral part of the students' lives by providing
opportunities for
growth in faith with weekly Mass, special liturgies,
Reconciliation Services, outreach activities,

variety of teaching strategies, i.e.,
lecture-discussion, use of audio-visual aids,
