Dear Parents,
It is a pleasure to welcome you back to our 2008-2009 school year and to our new families welcome to our St. Joseph School Community. We honor and recognize you as our partners in the education of our students. Together we can make this a most successful year. Our first act as a community of faith is to humbly give this year to the Lord. And so we begin….
