Dear Friends in Christ,                                          

The Daughters of Divine Charity and I send our prayers, gratitude and Easter greetings to the School Board, Administration, Faculty, Staff, Families, Alumnae, Associates, and Friends of St. Joseph Hill Academy and the Daughters of Divine Charity. 

As Lent comes to an end, the Triduum invites us to reflect deeply on Christ’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection, contemplating the love God shows through each of these moments.  Holy Week reminds us that the events celebrated now are not just history, they are alive within the Church, especially through the celebration of the Eucharist.

We encourage all families to engage in moments of quiet prayer together, fostering spiritual growth, recalling the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ. Through His unconditional love, He offers us victory and opens the gates of heaven.  May your experiences during Holy Week enrich your celebration of the Easter season and lead to Pentecost, reaffirming the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives as Jesus promised.

You remain in our prayers, entrusted to our Blessed Mother, who shared in the suffering and death of her beloved Son.  In challenging times, let us seek strength and comfort from Jesus, Mary, and St. Joseph.

We deeply appreciate your ongoing support, generosity, and prayers especially for the increase of priestly and religious vocations and for all our faithful departed may they rest in eternal peace.  May you and your loved ones receive abundant grace and blessings not only during this Easter season, but every day of your lives.

Happy Easter Everyone!
“For the Lord is truly Risen as He has said. ALLELUIA, He is risen!”

Love and Prayers,
Sister Mary Coffelt, F.D.C. and the Daughters of Divine Charity 


For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have Eternal life.
