September 1980 - Founding of Elementary School Academies

Saint Joseph’s Academy and Saint Therese of Lisieux Academy were founded in 1980 for boys and girls from kindergarten through eighth grade. Heaven delivered the Dedication and Motto for these Academies in Teachings given through Mother Frances on June 25, 1980.

SAINT JOSEPH’S ACADEMY

DEDICATION

“Saint Joseph’s Academy is dedicated to helping boys learn how to become responsible men through the education of their mind, the understanding and care of their physical body, and the continuous awareness of their Soul, always reminding them to remember that God’s reward is Sainthood as their Goal.”

MOTTO

“I must ‘never lie’ or ‘be unjust’.
I must never shirk my ‘responsibilities’.
I must ‘respect’ sound, just authority.
I must always remember that ‘my will is my line of decision’.
I must always remember to ‘obey God’s Ten Commandments’.”

SAINT THERESE OF LISIEUX ACADEMY

DEDICATION

“Saint Therese of Lisieux Academy is dedicated to instructing girls in the total responsibility of being a girl first, and then the beauty and privilege of womanhood. It is dedicated to helping each girl become a living example of the need for purity of her mind, her body, and her Soul.”

MOTTO

“I will remember that I am to be example of gentleness, kindness, humility and purity.

I will remember to show respect to others and their belongings.

I will remember never to gossip, or be unjust in my thoughts, words, or actions.

I will remember to be dignified, sincere, and carry my own responsibility.

I will remember to always hold before me, the fact that God is always present, and is fully aware of every thought, word, and action of mine.

I will remember to never let a day go by that I do not ask Our Heavenly Mother to guide me, to bless me, and to stop me if I act in any way impurely.”
