St. Joseph Catholic School, as a ministry of the larger community of St. Joseph Parish, embraces service in the form of contributing time, talent, and treasure. The success of our many activities and events are dependent upon the volunteer efforts the parent and parish community.
To support the school with this commitment, each family contributes 30 service hours (20 hours for single parent families) to the school and parish (For those families receiving a St. Joseph Parish Benefit, 10 of the 30 (20) share hours must be in a Parish ministry). New Families: In your first year only, service hour commitment is reduced to 20 (15 for a single parent).
