Today marks Epiphany or the arrival of the Wise men who brought gifts for the Holy Family. Also referred to as the 12th day of Christmas, it marks an end to the Christmas season.

Throughout our 178 year history, the CSJs have repeatedly entrusted us to move this mission forward.  We are deeply proud of our Catholic heritage, nevermore than when we consider the meaning of Epiphany and how it relates to St Joseph Institute.  We believe God has provided certain gifts to each of us and it’s our job to share them with our community for the greater good.  Epiphany is the perfect time to recognize the bounty it brings to our mission, our families and most importantly, our children.

Thank you for sharing your gifts – staff, Board members, supporters and families.  We are better for the offering.
