MAY 2026:
ALL MCSJS MEMBERS

The Mothers’ Club of St. Joseph School (MCSJS) is much like a mosaic. No mosaic can exist without its individual parts. While each element can be beautiful in its own right, it is when the pieces - or members - are assembled together that they become a true work of art.

All 150+ MCSJS members contributed in some way - big or small - to bringing the vision into focus for the 2025-2026 school year. Any mosaic requires a binding element, such as mortar, to secure the many parts of the plan. For the MCSJS, this was created when the members paid their annual dues. Without that strong financial base, there would have been nothing to secure the planned enhancements for the children’s education. While the gesture may have felt small to some, each member should recognize that the impact was great.

With the base in place, over 120+ Chair positions were needed this year to fill in the design. Many members stepped up, not only for one, but multiple roles. It was the unique and different backgrounds and ideas of each Chair that brought the students and the school community a colorful array of experiences and events that made the mosaic feel magical.

Finally, the 16 women that served on the MCSJS Executive Board this year really brought everything together by providing the “frame”work for the year. Their dedication and guidance surrounded and supported the bigger picture. They were the anchor to the artwork, willing to stand alongside the membership and shine the spotlight on what could be achieved together.

Over the course of this past year there have been times when the “Meet a Member” initiative has highlighted a one-woman-show. If there were only enough months in the year, there is no doubt that the MCSJS could fill endless gallery walls with a sketch of each member - because each one is so special. However, no matter what, always remember that it is the collective membership that has and always will make the MCSJS a masterpiece!
