The St. Joseph Religion program begins in the 3 year old class.

Children are taught prayers and learn about God's world around them and they begin to understand God's love.

As the children grow with us, so also does the Religion program.

It is integrated throughout the curriculum and emphasizes formational growth as well as content knowledge.

Our spiritual journey includes morning prayers, student lead First Friday Mass, Holy Day liturgy, and seasonal celebrations with an emphasis on Catholic values.
