Faith Life
The Campus Ministry program at St. Joseph's Academy focuses on the integral role that faith plays in the development not only of the individual person, but also of the entire school community.
Welcome to St. Joseph Academy’s Campus Ministry Department! We have the blessing of working with each student to help her grow in faith, dedication to service and ability to reflect on her life at SJA and beyond.
We recognize that each of our Angels is on her own journey, and we meet each student right where she is. Campus Ministry provides wonderful opportunities to help plan and participate in liturgies, retreats and community outreach.
The Campus Ministry Room is a great place to hang out before or after school or during your downtime throughout the school day. We have a lot of wonderful things planned for you this year; the continuation of many traditions, but also some new and exciting programs. This is your personal invitation to get involved in Campus Ministry this year. All are welcome and encouraged to join us as we share in GOG (Glimpses of God) and grow in our faith together.
In Faith,
Ms. Anna Hotop, Director of Campus Ministry
St. Joseph's Academy is called forth by our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, to "serve the Dear Neighbor without distinction."
Upcoming Faith Life Events
One of the greatest gifts we can share as a community is our faith with one another. All are welcome to the table as we recognize and celebrate the presence of God through our monthly liturgies at St. Joe.

Campus ministry room
The opening of St. Joseph’s Academy’s Campus Ministry Room in 2017 put SJA at the forefront of collaborative faith-filled learning. Campus Ministry is a vital part of every girl's life at St. Joseph’s Academy. The space is a safe, supportive place where girls can go to help build a lifelong foundation of faith and values. The room is equipped with state-of-the-art technology that Ms. Anna Hotop, Director of Campus Ministry, states “will open endless doors and opportunities for us in Campus Ministry. We are very intentional on incorporating the legacy and charism of our founders, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, alive and vibrant in all aspects of life at the Academy. The new technology includes video conferencing equipment, which will allow SJA to take to connect directly to CSJ ministries and sister schools around the world.” This dream project became a reality through the 2017 Auction Fund-A-Need and the generosity of an alumna parent.
