The St. Joseph School Educational Trust Fund was established February 20, 1984, with the purpose to establish financial stability for our school now and in the future.

Any contribution of any size may be given at any time.  Parishioners may use the "Special Contribution Envelope" included in their monthly contribution packet. Provisions may be made in wills or through a bequest. As in any trust, the principal is not used but the interest becomes income. Donors are included in prayers and Masses with the school children.  Printed Class List of the deceased in whose memory contributions are made to the Trust Fund is published annually or available upon request or you may click here for a printable list (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).

The Trust Fund is controlled jointly by Pastoral Council, the Trust Fund Committee, and the Pastor of St. Joseph's and is currently managed by Advest, Inc.  A copy of the Trust Fund agreement is available to anyone upon request.

In the past, the interest has been used for the purchase of:

• Plaques, Stationary, and Postage Expenses
• School Risers (1987)
• Helped with payroll when funds were tight (1990)
• Paid for a portion of the Hall floor (1992 Eagle Scout project)
• Technology Improvements for the Computer Lab and Classrooms
• New Entrance Doors throughout the school facility
• Key Pad Door Entrance System on east side of school
