Nourished by the Word of God and inspired by the virtues of St. Joseph being obedient, hardworking and just, St. Joseph’s Academy commits itself to direct its purpose as a parochial school in molding its students towards excellence
PrayerGod, Our Loving Father, You gave us St. Joseph as a patron of our school and our personal friend. He was a good citizen of the land and devoted father and husband. May he be my father and protector and my guide in following the will of God. Like him, may I hear your voice in times of trouble and confusion. Obtain for us through St. Joseph a sincere and pure heart, a fervent love for prayer and goodness and the grace to do all our actions for your kingdom and your greater glory. I dedicate myself to follow his examples of righteousness to Mary and Jesus now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Hymn
Here we stand students hand in hand
Eyes and Hearts are glowing
Youthful seal ever more we feel
In our bosoms growing.
To our school ST. JOSEPH’S HIGH
We bear Veneration
For it gives up faith and truth
Thorough education
May our cheerful song resound
Onward to the seas
And the sea waves loud repeat
Our pledge of loyalty.
Ours the youth, our religious truth
Leaders of tomorrow
May our seed, free from dirt and weed
Grow in fertile furrow.
Oh! Bright future lies ahead
Thus no time for mourning
Let’s be glad rejoice instead
Children of the morning
So we’ll serve dear Philippines
God and Church alike
For ST. JOSEPH’S taught that means
On to Victory’s pike.
