Principal's Corner

Dear Parents/Guardians and Staff of Saint Joseph School,

A happy and blessed Mother’s Day to all of you. This Mother’s Day, I want to extend a greeting to all our mothers because you are the heartbeat of your homes. 

May I offer all of you this prayer written by Bishop Kevin Manning.

We thank you, O Lord, for the gift of Motherhood.  May those blessed with children be granted the gifts of courage, perseverance, and good health.  May they face each new day with faith and hope in your abiding love.  May all families find, in the strength of your love, the priceless gift of PEACE, and so bear witness to your glory. Amen.

Mother’s Day is a special day to remember the important role that mothers and mother figures play in our lives.  In my own life, my mother is a constant source of inspiration to me as she brought me to a unique place in my faith.  Our Blessed Mother’s willingness to say “yes” to God’s calling is an inspiration.  She is the mother of God, yet still one of us.  As we spend Mother’s Day celebrating the “mothers” in our lives, let us also remember the special place that the Blessed Mother has in our faith.

I wish you the very best day ever, …a day filled with joy, relaxation, love, and peace. 

Happy Mother’s Day,

Warmly,
Ms. Joanne McKnight, M.Ed.
Saint Joseph School, Principal
