St. Joseph Catholic School Olney, Illinois Calendar

As I begin my second year as principal, I feel an even deeper sense of joy and gratitude. Serving in this capacity for the past year has been an incredible blessing, and I'm more committed than ever to our mission of providing a strong academic and faith-filled education.

I've been a part of the St. Joe family for 20 years in various roles, and I've seen firsthand what makes this school so special: our dedicated staff, supportive families, and the generous spirit of our parishes. Our new facility, built through the collective efforts of our community, continues to be a powerful symbol of our commitment to the future.

Our theme for this year, “Do small things with great love,” perfectly captures our focus. It’s a powerful reminder that every small act of kindness and every moment of learning contributes to the spiritual and academic growth we witness in our students every day.

I hope you'll join us at our weekly Mass on Wednesdays at 8:05 a.m., where we gather to worship and celebrate our students. It’s always one of the highlights of my week.

Thank you for sharing your children with us. I am excited to see all the wonderful things we will accomplish together this year.

With sincere gratitude,

Josy Hart, Principal
