Our Catholic Identity

We keep Christ at the center of all that we do. 

St. Joseph Jr. High School is a Catholic, co-educational, inclusive learning community in which students learn and grow in respect for God, themselves, and others, engage in academically rigorous curricula and a wide-range of meaningful service and enrichment experiences. 

 

As Manchester's only Catholic school dedicated solely to teaching 7th and 8th graders, St. Joe's provides an environment finely tuned to early adolescents in terms of academic challenge, social environment, and faith formation. 

 

Students in this age group are moving to a heightened level of social awareness, and their childhood perceptions are giving way to an often bewildering world full of many challenges and choices. This time may be the most formative in terms of a student's character development.  

 

Through the religion classes, morning, noon and dismissal prayer, the Celebration of the Eucharist, Adoration, prayer services, liturgical calendar observances, and service to others, our students learn the fundamentals of Christian faith and Catholic traditions to nourish them with the answers to life's challenges that can come from deep faith. 

Students attend:

  • Weekly Mass with Trinity High School in the gym

  • Campus Ministry

  • Participate in service

  • Follow the liturgical cycle & observe Holy Days of Obligation

 

Both 7th & 8th grade classes have a "Theology of the Body" class once a week from January - February.

Honoring St. Joseph

Patron Saint of Workers

Prayer to St. Joseph:

St. Joseph,

watch over me
and care for me
just as you cared for
the child Jesus;
and by your help,
may I come to know
your Son,
and so grow
in strength
and wisdom
and the favor of God.
Amen.

We remember and honor St. Joseph in our daily lives and celebrate The Solemnity of St. Joseph on March 19th and his feast day on May 1st. Though commonly referred to as Mary's husband and the father of Jesus, we also remember him for his work ethic as a carpenter and woodworker. He was a loyal husband and father, and served the Lord above all else. He reminds us that our faithfulness to God comes before all other connections, and that we can turn to him for guidance in our times of need.
