Saint Joseph Church and School

ONE BODY, ONE BAPTISM, ONE FAITH

One Body - One Baptism - One Faith - are the things which define the people of Saint Joseph Parish. Our large crucifix (27 feet) reminds us continually that we are to die to Jesus Christ. The large opening shroud around it reminds us of the

Resurrection and the joy that service to each other and the community brings to us.

We are a community of close to 825 households and over 4900 members. It is a family parish that spans the generations from newborns to great-great-grandparents. We have a strong and vibrant school of about 400 students K-8. The buildings seem to never sleep as they are constantly filled with activities and volunteers.

If you are in the Opryland/Music Valley area, or live in the Madison, Inglewood, Goodlettsville, Hendersonville or Old Hickory neighborhoods, we invite you to join us!

May God bless you.

NOW ENROLLING FOR THE 2012/2013 SCHOOL YEAR. In today's increasingly secular culture, there is something to be said for the privilege of practicing one's faith as a bedrock of their education. At St. Joseph School, this is experienced on a daily basis. The faith that we share is incorporated into an outstanding academic environment. Students will use the principles that Catholic schools instill in them, to help guide them through high school and adulthood.

Private tours may be scheduled at any time by calling the school office at 865-1491. More Information
