A Message from Principal Rickbeil
We have a Pope! The Most Eminent and Most Reverend Lord, Lord Robert Francis, Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church Prevost, who takes for himself the name Leo XIV. What an exciting and joyful day here at St. Joseph’s School as our students were able to witness and share in this together. The cheers were heard throughout our building!
