News and Events: Vocations and Fish Fry

This week is our last Fish Fry. Thanks to everyone who has supported St. Joseph Academy.  It takes a lot of work to make the Fish Fry a success.  We have so many volunteers who work behind the scenes to make sure it is a fun evening for everyone.  But all the hard work the volunteers do would mean nothing without the generous people who come to eat.  So please come one last time and bring a friend.

This week Sister Patricia Jean and Sister Celeste Marie will be at Benedictine College in Atchison Kansas for a vocation fair.   Benedictine College has a long history going back to 1856 when two monks arrived to begin a school at the request of the Bishop. They began with a boarding school in 1858.  In the beginning they only had six students. In 1863 seven Benedictine Sisters arrived to begin a school for young women. The sisters and the monks cooperated with each other in their schools, eventually merging the two in 1971.  This merger became Benedictine College. 

If you are in the area, the sisters would love to meet you.
