Catholic Identity
-
St. Joseph Catholic School welcomes students of all denominations in the Brazos Valley.
“…Catholic schools offer the fullest and best opportunity to realize the four-fold purpose of Christian education, namely to provide an atmosphere where 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.” Taken from the Diocese of Austin Strategic Plan, August 2009.
As part of our Catholic Identity, St. Joseph Catholic School supports the following goals:- To develop within the school a strong theology program based on Catholic teachings, Scripture, liturgical experiences, and service so each student will grow and develop in the Catholic Christian way of life.
- To facilitate the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development of each student.
- To challenge students to become Christian leaders, living as young men and women of conscience, compassion and action.
The Diocese of Austin has created a website "Catholic Schools Diocese of Austin" to further promote Catholic Schools. Visit http://csdatx.org/ to see how a Catholic Education can make a difference for your child, your parish, and your community.
