St. Joseph Homeschool Program

St. Joseph parish homeschool program is an extension of our parish's faith formation program. It is open to children of active, registered St. Joseph parishioners who are members of St. Joseph Parish Homeschool Group.

We are grateful for the guidance, structure, and support offered our program from the priests of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, in residence here at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Tacoma. Our chaplains are the priests assigned to St. Joseph Parish. In addition to being chaplains, they also have the final say in all decisions regarding the St. Joseph Parish Homeschool Program.

As the principal and first educators of our children, may we always remember that our primary responsibility in home education is teaching the Faith to our children, so that they might one day become saints.

We seek to educate our children in traditional Catholic precepts by adhering to the teachings of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, doing our best to instill a life of prayer, study, and eutrapelia.

Thursdays begin at 8:00 a.m. with the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass. Each child is instructed by parishioners in age-specific Catechesis. All students are instructed in Sacred Music in choir classes. English and science are also offered, along with occasional field trips and feast day celebrations.
