Our goal is to make real the experience of Jesus Christ’s love for all in our students. Everyday we have the opportunity to meet Jesus – in the face of the lonely, in the pain of the abused, and in the suffering of the sick (physically and spiritually). Let us pray for the strength to act as God’s loving hands to minister to the least among us!

As an extension of the Catholic Church, we are committed to our work and actions that reflect the Gospel values and service to the community for a greater good. Students can touch the lives of countless individuals by donating their time and talents to serve others in need. Service is a value firmly positioned in the mission of Saint Joseph Catholic School.

Service Learning activities foster a spirit of volunteering that will encourage students and graduates to remain active in the community as adults. This program teaches students that faith is not just a personal response to God’s love, but is also a communal response to love one another as Jesus taught us

The experience of Christian community leads naturally to service. Christ gave His people different gifts not only for themselves, but also for others. The church is a servant community in which those who hunger are to be filled, the ignorant are to be taught, the homeless to receive shelter, the sick cared for, the distressed consoled, the oppressed set free… all so that men may more fully realize their human potential and more readily enjoy life with God now and eternally.”
