Welcome To Saint Joseph
One Body. One Baptism. One Faith. These 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 840 households and over 3,000 members. It is a
family parish that spans the generations from newborns to
great-great-grandparents. We have a strong and vibrant school of 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 Madison,
Goodlettsville, Hendersonville or Old Hickory neighborhoods, we invite you to
join us!

NOW ENROLLING FOR THE 2009/2010 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.
