The St. Joseph Interparochial Endowment Fund
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock” -Matthew 7:24
Mission: To encourage financial stewardship and generosity in order to sustain a solid foundation and lasting legacy of St Joseph School.
Vision: Come together to invest and grow forever.
During the winter of 2023 a group of friends had a conversation over dinner that centered around St. Joseph School. They agreed the school needed a sustainable means of funding, source of funds that would ensure the future needs of the school would be met. “Why doesn’t St Joseph School have an endowment fund?” St Joseph School NEEDS an endowment fund in order to be a thriving means of catholic education. The conversation led to an inquiry with the Diocese of Owensboro Catholic Foundation of Western Kentucky.
As divine providence would have it, St Joseph School does indeed have an endowment account! A substantial trust, donated by an anonymous donor, has been shepherded by the Catholic Foundation for several years. Now, more than ever, is the time to grow this fund.

In 1910-1911, Father T.J. Hayes wanted a school built next to the church on Church Street and acquired the property to build a school. Just as we do today, Father Hayes recognized the importance of high quality education delivered within a strong Catholic environment.
St. Joseph School is inviting you to join “The 1910 Society” and come together to grow and sustain a solid financial foundation to ensure St. Joseph School continues to serve our children, grandchildren and the community of Bowling Green. ​​
