Marist Day of Service
Nov 01, 2022

On Saturday, October 29, 2022, our very Marist students spent their day volunteering and serving the community. In true family spirit, students went out to serve our school and community as agents of justice and peace. 

At Saint Joseph Academy, we live and teach the Marist Way of Life, and we believe that anyone can “Be Marist”. Chosen and called by Mary to bear her name and share in concern for the Church, the world, and the whole human race, Mary is our model in all that we do. We are called to think, judge, feel, and act as Mary did and to embody the Marist Charisms or virtues of Mary in our daily life. One of the ways we do this is by serving the community. 

Many thanks to all the organizations who gave us the opportunity to serve:

Good Neighbor Settlement House

Brownsville Wellness Coalition

Tip of Texas Family Outreach

Proyecto Juan Diego

Incarnate Word Academy 

SJA Green Team

Brownsville Parks

Spanish Meadows

Even more so, we are happy to share that the Class of 2024 obtained over $12 MILLION in college scholarships, effectively becoming the largest amount earned by an SJA graduating class.

NEWSIES!

Newsies, the smash-hit, crowd-pleasing, Tony Award-winning musical. Newsies is an extraordinary story, inspired by actual events. When a band of underdogs became unlikely heroes and stood up to the most powerful men in New York, it shook the world. It’s an energetic tale about fighting for what’s right… and staying true to who you are.
