A Note from Fr. Greg

The summer months are anything but slow at St. Joseph’s Indian School. While many schools take a break, our campus buzzes with activity and excitement as we remain steadfast in our mission to nurture and educate the Lakota (Sioux) children in our care.

Our students had an extraordinary adventure with the South Dakota National Guard. I’m excited for you to read all about it! Hands-on experiences like this remind us that learning never stops … it simply takes on new forms.

“And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.”

This verse resonates deeply with our summer activities. Whether we’re practicing reading skills, exploring science experiments or enjoying adventures, every moment we invest in the children is part of a greater process and plan.

None of this would be possible without your prayers, generosity and unwavering support. You are a vital part of our thiyóšpaye — extended family — that makes these life-changing experiences possible for our students. Philámayaye — thank you — for shaping their futures and ensuring they have opportunities to thrive.

Peace and Blessings,

Fr. Greg Schill, SCJ
Chaplain
