As we enter this season of gratitude and giving, I am honored and excited to reach out to you on behalf of Saint Joseph School to launch our Annual Fund and preview our upcoming special initiative, #GivingTuesday.
In recent years, Catholic education has provided comfort to people of all ages, fostering joyful students who are shaped in virtue and encouraged to become the best versions of themselves. At Saint Joseph School, we firmly believe that our students are the leaders of tomorrow, shaped within an environment of faith, virtue, intellect, and stewardship. Our sole aspiration for our students is that they grow to make the world a better place through their way of living and contributions to the greater good of our society.
Our annual theme, "Journeying Together," speaks to our shared journey as a school community. As previously mentioned, this theme is inspired by the words of Pope Francis:
"If we journey together, young and old, we can be firmly rooted in the present, and from here, revisit the past and look to the future" - Pope Francis, Christus Vivit
Now, as we embark on this journey of giving, I encourage you to consider supporting our Annual Fund or our upcoming #GivingTuesday campaign, launching just after the Thanksgiving holiday. Your contributions are the bedrock of financial support for our school.
As you contemplate your charitable contributions this year, I kindly ask that you consider Saint Joseph School as a beneficiary. Your gift, no matter the size, has a lasting impact on our institution and is a direct investment in the leaders of tomorrow. Together, we can establish a strong foundation upon which our students will build their future successes.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all the donors who contributed to the 2022-2023 Annual Fund Campaign, which made an immediate impact on our school budget and brought our mission to life. Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors, we raised over $400,000 for our school. This year, our goal is to raise $500,000. Your support helps us fulfill our mission and empowers our students to thrive academically, spiritually, and socially.
Our new student motto captures the essence of our mission: “Accept Jesus in our hearts. Aim to serve others. Achieve academic excellence. Aspire to change the world.” Your support, whether through the Annual Fund or #GivingTuesday, plays a vital role in turning these aspirations into reality. Let us come together as a community, united by our shared commitment to the future of Saint Joseph School and the young leaders we are nurturing.
