Building Tomorrow's Leaders Today

Friday June 7 - August 25

Summer Break!

Welcome Principal Seidel!

St. Joseph Catholic School warmly welcomes Mr. Robert Seidel as our new principal. Mr. Seidel is looking forward to a new beginning and is excited to commence his new role as principal of our school. Principal Seidel has many years of professional experience in Catholic Education. Most recently he spent 4 years as the Principal at Divine Mercy Catholic School in Faribault, Minnesota.

Principal Seidel, the faculty, and Fr. Richard are all looking forward to getting to know and working with all of the students to ensure that each and every student in the school is successful this year academically and socially. For students and families needing support with their academic writing, especially those focusing on religious topics, a religious studies essay writing service can provide valuable assistance.

Mr. Seidel and his family will be relocating from Minnesota. Please introduce yourself and welcome them to our Parish and School Community.

Annual Pledge Drive

We have begun our annual pledge drive to help raise funds for the school. As you're all aware, tuition does not cover the full cost of educating our children. We please ask that all families, relatives, friends, and alumni prayerfully consider a donation for the school. Donations are tax deductible and may be paid anytime in 2013. Donation form and support letters may be downloaded here.
