sacramental life

Saint Joe offers 7:30 a.m. Mass in the chapel two to three times per week which is open to the entire school community - parents, guardians, students, teachers and staff. All-School Masses are celebrated monthly. Confessions are offered once or twice each week, during our monthly adoration days (two days each month), by appointment, and during Advent and Lenten Penance Services.

Saint Joe offers a vibrant catechetical ministry to those considering conversion, baptism, or completion of their sacraments of initiation. In April 2023 Bishop Rhoades baptized six members of our community, received one into full communion with the Catholic Church, gave first Holy Communion to eight, and confirmed eleven. Student, faculty, and staff interested in receiving the sacraments should contact Mrs. Baglow or Deacon Andy.

Eucharistic Adoration is offered two days every month (white day/blue day) with every classroom participating over the course of the semester (twice per year). Parents are invited and encouraged to participate.
