Angel Parent Organization

We are grateful for your interest in the Angel Parent Organization.

As an SJA parent or guardian, participation in your Angel’s education and high school experience is essential.

With parent-daughter Masses and events, service opportunities, activities with Angel Moms and Angel Dads, there are many ways to volunteer throughout the year and be connected and serve with the mission of St. Joseph’s Academy. The Angel Parent Organization (APO) offers parents, guardians, and families the opportunity to fulfill the mission of St. Joseph’s Academy through volunteerism and engagement. There are many opportunities for parents to get involved and support the school. Opportunities can fit all interests and schedules

October 5 - St. Joe Classic Golf & Pickleball Tournament

This important tournament began in 2007, founded by a dedicated group of dads. Today, it continues with the support of all parents within our Angel Parent Organization (APO), united in fulfilling our mission. The St. Joe Classic supports the Parent Scholarship and Heart of an Angel Funds. The Parent Scholarship Fund ensures that no SJA student will have to leave the school she loves due to the loss of a parent. The Heart of an Angel Fund enables students to participate in special traditions and activities that fulfill their St. Joe experience, which may not otherwise be affordable for them.

The event features a 18-hole and 9-hole golf tournament, as well as a pickleball tournament. There is also a live and silent auction and dinner.

Please check back later this summer for registration information.

October 10 - Angel Fest

November 15 - Service Sunday Grandparents & Family Mass

We are excited to welcome SJA grandparents and families to Service Sunday Mass on November 15th!

This day is the start of Mission Week, a cherished tradition at SJA where our school motto, "Not I, But We," becomes a lived reality as the entire school community joins forces throughout the week to support the missions of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet. With this Mass, we celebrate our grandparents and family members who first taught and modeled for our SJA Angels how to "serve the Dear Neighbor without distinction." We are proud of the community service our Angels perform throughout their four years at SJA, and we know this spirit of generosity reflects the dedication and guidance they receive at home. A coffee and donut reception will immediately follow Mass.

Please check back in the fall for registration information.

We look forward to celebrating Mass and service with you and your family this November! If you have any questions, please contact Meredith Metzger, Advancement Specialist, at mmetzger@sja1840.org.

February 27 - An Evening with the Angels Dinner Auction

Ongoing Ways to Get Involved

Spirit Shop

An Evening with the Angels Auction

An Evening with the Angels is a vital fundraising resource needed to continue St. Joseph’s Academy’s mission of providing a quality Catholic education for young women in an environment that challenges them to grow in faith, knowledge, and respect for self and others. Our annual dinner auction has an impressive history. Parent volunteers are crucial to our success, whether they volunteer on the committee, sign up to help with Auction Work Day, or assist with setup! We also need over 50 adult volunteers for the night of the event and appreciate any parent who chooses to work that evening. Thank you for being the most important component of our success!

St. Joe Serves

Volunteers are needed on the 2nd of every month to help serve meals to the homeless at the Sts. Peter and Paul Soup Kitchen. The St. Joe community helps prepare and serve approximately 150 meals year-round. If the 2nd of the month falls Monday through Friday, we provide dinner (4:00-6:15 p.m.). If the 2nd falls on a weekend, we serve a lunch (11:00 a.m.-1:15 p.m.).

There are several ways to get involved with the St. Joe Serves program:

If you are interested in contributing ingredients towards the meal, please email stjoeserves@gmail.com to be added to our Sign-Up Genius list. Items can be dropped off at the Main Office.
We also need volunteers to help serve meals to the guests on the 2nd. For dinners during the week, volunteers arrive at 4:00 p.m. and finish by 6:15 p.m. For weekend lunches, volunteers arrive at 11:00 a.m., and finish by 1:15 p.m.

If you have questions, please email Jamie Steinhart, Assistant Campus Minister, at jsteinhart@sja1840.org.

Parent Ambassadors

The SJA Parent Ambassadors Program supports St. Joe by assisting the Admissions Office with recruitment efforts throughout the school year.

By sharing your love for St. Joe with middle school families, and offering a personal connection and parent perspective, you will help families feel welcome to explore the unique benefits of a St. Joe education.

2026-27 volunteer opportunities will open in the fall.

Athletics

We believe that the opportunity for participation in interscholastic athletics is a vital part of the educational experience. Such participation is a privilege that carries with it responsibilities to the activity, school, student body, community, and to the students themselves. We have opportunities for our Angel Parents to help out with events such as working the door at tournaments, helping with parking, and much more.

Volunteer opportunities will reopen in the fall.
