Sale dates, donation opportunities and volunteer needs are communicated through school communications and the PSG Information Hub.
Many St. Joseph families also participate in the independently operated St. Joseph Uniform Buy & Sell Facebook Group.
Please note that this group is independently managed by St. Joseph parents and is not operated by PSG or the school.
Volunteering
Why Volunteer
The Parent Support Group is built on the contributions of parents and guardians who care about strengthening our school community.
Whether you volunteer behind the scenes, support an event, help coordinate a program or take on a leadership role, every contribution helps create meaningful opportunities for our students, staff and families.
There is no expectation that every family volunteers in the same way. Some parents are able to support throughout the year, while others may only be available occasionally. Every contribution - big or small - helps make a difference.

Thank You!
The PSG is made possible through the dedication of parent volunteers, school staff and community supporters.
Whether you attended a meeting, volunteered at an event, purchased Spirit Wear, ordered Hot Lunch, donated to a fundraiser, or helped behind the scenes, thank you for helping strengthen our St. Joseph community.
Together, we continue to create meaningful experiences and opportunities for our students and families.
Rooted in Faith
Praying for our students, staff, families, buildings and curriculum is at the root of our faith, and we believe truly determines our direction and progress as we journey together.
We invite all parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and parishioners to come and join us in praying for our Catholic schools Fridays at 8:45am at St. Joseph School. Our intent is to keep it casual and prompt. We will have scripture reading, short meditation and prayers of intention.
Praying for our children and their caregivers can certainly be done from home and we encourage all to continue to do so; but praying together as a community of faith is powerful and a great blessing to us all.

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
