In conjunction with the school administration and faculty, the Saint Joseph’s school chaplain works toward achieving the spiritual mission and Catholic identity of our school.  In practice, our chaplain provides for the sacramental life of the entire school community, including the planning and celebration of the Mass, other devotional practices and the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  Further, our chaplain provides spiritual direction and pastoral counseling to students, faculty, staff and administrators.
