St. Joseph Educational Ministries
St. Joseph’s Academy is a not-for-profit corporation sponsored by St. Joseph Educational Ministries (“SJEM”), a Ministerial Public Juridic Person (a canonical term for a group of persons who together further the mission of the church).  Status as a ministerial public juridic person has been granted to SJEM by the Vatican, which enables lay people to take on sponsorship roles traditionally held only by religious communities.  SJEM was established for the sponsorship of the five educational institutions founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Louis Province and is responsible for ensuring that the Catholic identity and CSJ spirituality of its sponsored institutions, including St. Joseph’s Academy, is retained in perpetuity.  Day to day governance of the Academy is vested in our Board of Directors.
