News and Events: Saint Joseph Academy

Last week the new school year began.  The sisters, staff and students are beginning to fall into the familiar routine.  We are blessed to have dedicated parents, volunteers, teachers and staff at Saint Joseph Academy.  Running a small Catholic school can be a challenge at times.  There is never enough money or time to do everything that we would like to do.  But God always gives us what we need when we need it.

Supporting Catholic schools is a great way to help with evangelization.   The students are not just taught reading, writing, math and science.  They are also taught the truths of their faith and learn about God's love for them.

Many times when an adult who has fallen away from the Catholic faith returns, it is often because they remember something that 'sister' taught them in second grade.  They may have fallen away and not practised the faith in years.  Eventually  they realize that something is missing in their lives and they begin to look deeply into what they believe.  Then they remember what they were taught in Catholic school and it re-enkindles their faith.

Saint Joseph Academy in Walton is a small school.  We appreciate all the support you give us and hope that you will continue to donate your time, talents and treasure to help us in our work of spreading the faith through education.

Our Golf Outing to help support the school will be on September 8th at Twin Oaks and Plantation Club.  You can visit sjawalton.com for more information.
