Mass
Thank you to the St. John’s Parish Staff for their leadership with liturgy at Mass on Tuesday. This week, Fr. Jerry encourages us to find the blessings in our lives this Easter season, and he thanks the St. Joseph’s community and students for the blessings they are in his life. Thank you to everyone who came to Mass this week. Please know, all are welcome each week. We look forward to seeing you at the Holy Week celebrations.
Over Easter, we welcomed 5 St. Joseph’s students in the the Church. This Saturday (5 pm), we will have 32 students making their First Holy Communion.
Mass next week is on Wednesday, May 1 at 10 am; it is the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. The May Crowning Mass is the following Tuesday, May 7 at 8:30 am.

If you still have questions, please feel free to view the video link below and call or email questions to myself (quilicit@stjoes.com) or our counselor Mrs. Porter (porterc@stjoes.com).
Three new apps added to list for monitoring: GroupMe, Flickr, and Kidzworld.
Student Safety
We ran a relocation drill Tuesday, March 12. We were able to move all students within 5 minutes to one of our alternative locations should the need ever arise.
Link to an article from a safety committee that St. Joseph’s is using information and concepts from to inform and guide the plans and procedures for St. Joseph’s Catholic School.
See something, say something. I would like to remind and urge everyone if you see something out of place, please report it to the Office as soon as possible. It is much better to be safe and say something than to worry about it.
For information on our current terminology and practice, please refer to our
Bravely act like a Saint today!
We are blessed to have a loving and supportive community. As a Catholic community, we hold ourselves to a higher standard. When you see someone in our community going above and beyond leading by example and bravely acting like a saint, please let me know using the following link.
