Spirit of St. Joseph Award

The Spirit of Saint Joseph Awards recognize alumni and friends whose everyday lives exemplify that of our patron—living the ordinary in extraordinary ways. These are the people who quietly bring Saint Joseph High School’s mission of preparing students for college, life, and heaven to life through their humble, selfless service and support—role models for us all.

Awards will be presented on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at Oakmont Country Club.
