Religion

Religion
The spiritual development of our students is central to the St. Joseph’s School mission.
 
Our middle school religion curriculum includes areas of study including sacred scripture, church history and traditions, liturgy and Eucharist, virtues, justice, doctrine, the sacraments, and spirituality.  Additionally, we focus on morality, respect for life, community service and the importance of prayer. 
 
Specific areas of study at each grade level include:

• 6^th grade:  Old Testament
• 7^th grade:  New Testament
• 8^th grade:  Church history and preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation

 
Beyond religion classes, our students actively participate in prayer, school liturgies, retreats, devotions, and a wide variety of service projects throughout the year.   We aim to actively create a mutually supportive environment that fosters a love for God, love for one another and a desire to serve the greater community.
