St. Joseph's Jot October 18, 2026

Dear St. Joseph’s Families,

We have a busy couple of weeks ahead of us! Thank you to all who participated in parent-teacher conferences last week. Check out the latest below.

Growing in Prayer with Hallow

We are excited to continue building prayer habits through our partnership with Hallow! We have a couple of fun challenges planned for this week.

St. Carlo Acutis Challenge: A reminder that challenge cards are due tomorrow, Monday, October 19th! Students who completed all four sessions and return their cards will earn extra recess tomorrow afternoon!

Saints Alive Rosary Challenge: This week, students will begin praying along with the Saints Alive Rosary Collection during class. We will pray one session each school day and wrap up the challenge with an all-school candlelight rosary on Wednesday, October 28th, from 2:30–3:10 p.m. in the gym. Parents and siblings are invited to join us!

HALLOWeen Challenge: Classes will also have the opportunity to earn some candy by praying for just one minute each day this week using Hallow's Spiritual Warfare Collection. Just another fun way to encourage our students to make prayer part of their daily routine!
