SPIRITUALITY
Spirituality is the bonding strength of St. Joseph Catholic School. Students
attend weekly Mass with special vigils, retreats and Sacramental opportunities
scheduled in accordance with the Holy Year. In addition students live
their faith by participating in service projects within our parish, the
Diocese and the community of Lorain County. These opportunities instill
in our students the attitude of Christian Fellowship.
Our Love and Logic Discipline program allows students to develop character, compassion, and values guided by our trained staff. We strive to treat each student with respect while teaching problem solving skills. Students are provided with the tools to make good choices and accept the responsibility for their actions to empower them in everyday life. St. Joseph School welcomes all students of every faith, heritage, and ability level.
