The St. Joseph Education Endowment Fund
The St. Joseph Education Endowment Fund was incorporated on May 30, 1990. The goals are fourfold:
- Scholarships, grant-in-aid, and tuition payments for students of the day school.
- Support of salaries of the faculty and staff of the day school.
- Supplement the operational expenses and provide for capital improvements of the day school.
- Provide for and supplement the religious education programs, facilities and personnel of the parish.
Touching the Future
There has never been a time in the history of our Church when religious education was not a priority. Our day school, Sunday school and adult education continue to expand to meet the challenge of our ever growing community.
Ensuring the Future for Eternity
Catholic schools afford the fullest and best opportunity to realize the fourfold purpose of Christian education, namely, to provide an atmosphere in which the Gospel message is proclaimed, community in Christ is experienced, service to our sisters and brothers is the norm, and thanksgiving and worship of God is cultivated.
The vitality of the Church is inextricably linked to the health of its Catholic schools because the provide the most effective way to evangelize and form holy men and women who make God known, loved, and served.
Catholic schools will continue to play a vital role in American civic life, as they exemplify how to prepare citizens for full engagement in democracy and commitment to the common good.
The St. Joseph Education Endowment Fund was established to ensure the future of religious education. Contributions are invested and retained as principal; only the earned income is used to defray costs, so your gift lives on forever.
With the Endowment Fund growth, our ability to meet budget demands, to keep tuition low, and teacher salaries high, provide scholarships, make capital improvements, and supplement religious education programs for the whole parish remains a reality.
