Welcome to an exciting new year of religious instruction here at St. Joseph Parish. This year, our goal is to build on religious education traditions in PSR. As everyone is a year older, you'll find that our program does a great job of relating our faith in an age appropriate manner. We will increase our knowledge of Jesus, learn and practice traditions of our faith, grow in prayer, and make the rich celebration of our Catholic heritage meaningful to all.
