The St. Joseph Athletic Ministry is a parish-based program that exists to ensure that the children of St. Joseph Parish Community have access to Christian-based, competitive athletics.

SJAM is comprised of several energetic and committed individuals that are dedicated to providing an enjoyable Christian environment geared toward the development of the players’:

• physical skills
• Sportsmanship
• Leadership
• Respect
• Personal Responsibility
• Team Play

St. Joseph Parish athletic programs are Parish-based and available to 5th – 8th grade students enrolled in either St. Joseph Parish School or the St. Joseph Parish Christian Formation program.

Expectations for Student Participation in Athletic Activities

The academic achievement and religious formation of student athletes is the first priority of the athletic ministry. Students participating in any athletic program sponsored by the athletic ministry are expected to show and maintain an academic level that is commensurate with their abilities. In addition, all student athletes are expected to maintain regular class attendance and conduct themselves in an appropriate manner in the classroom.

Students/athletes, coaches, family members and spectators represent Saint Joseph Parish. Consequently, proper conduct is expected at all games, whether home or away games. Good sportsmanship must be demonstrated at all times, win or lose.

Spirit Wear

Spirit Wear is a great way to demonstrate your school and team spirit. Clothing is available in both youth and adult sizes. Order your Spirit Wear through the school office throughout the school year, then watch the school calendar for Spirit Wear Days and show off your Lancer Pride. Contact the School Office at 262-375-6505, or schooloffice@stjosephgrafton.org with any questions.

Volunteer & Service Opportunities

It takes a significant number of volunteers to operate our parish-based athletic programs and we are appreciative for all the support we have received from parents, parishioners, coaches, the community and our committee members. Please consider volunteering to help at athletic events and fundraisers, and most importantly support our parish teams by attendance at athletic events.

Contact Brian Morgan, brian.morgan@marquette.edu, to share your ideas and time.

St. Joseph Parish is a participant in the Washington Ozaukee Catholic Conference. Information regarding games, results and standings for our conference can be found at www.woccsports.org.

St. Joseph Parish School donated volleyball gear to girls from Los Torros Middle School in the Dominican Republic!  They were very excited to receive this donation!
(Los Torros is always accepting donated sporting goods, please keep them in mind if you have unneeded gear.)
