St Joseph The Worker School is a Catholic community that invites and encourages all its members to live the faith filled journey with Jesus Christ.
We, the members of the Holy Family Catholic Schools believe that families are domestic churches and the foundation of a Catholic way of life; children are gifts from God and that they have the right to know the nurturing love of their Creator; parents are the first and primary educators of their children; and each parish and its programs of Catholic education are an extension of the family and assist families in their mission.
