balloons and SJA childrenANNUAL FUND 2011-2012: "CELEBRATE LEARNING"

Watch for Your Chance to Support 115 Years of SJA
and 40 Years of Montessori!

Funding from the Annual Fund campaign helps bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating our students. A successful campaign is vital for us to keep tuition low as these funds help to pay teacher salaries, building costs and program improvements.

This year we are again asking you to consider sharing your gifts of prayer, service and/or financial participation. Each gift is important for the future of our school in these trying times.

Pledge your gift of
Prayer (see prayer below),
Service (volunteer in our name on the Feast of St. Joseph, March 19, 2012) or
Financial Contribution to support Saint Joseph Academy's Mission.

Saint Joseph Academy 2011-2012 Prayer

Loving God, may everything we do begin with your inspiration and continue with your saving help.
May the Gospel message of life, love, salvation, peace and justice always be the cornerstone of our “Celebrate Learning” Annual Fund Campaign.
We ask you to create in our hearts a deep center of gratitude, a center that grows so strong that sharing freely of our treasures becomes the norm and pattern of our existence. Remind us often of how much you cherish us, of how abundantly you have offered gifts to us, as we invite your people to consider their Gifts of Prayer, Service, and Financial Participation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
