Saint Joseph Catholic School in West St. Paul is seeking an outstanding long-term substitute kindergarten teacher to serve during a maternity leave anticipated from November 2026 through March 2027. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a deep commitment to the Catholic faith and the mission of Catholic education, along with the skills and presence needed to effectively teach, guide, and form young learners in a kindergarten classroom. Saint Joseph Church Catholic Church and School is a vibrant community that boasts a rich Catholic culture, attracts significant daily sacramental participation, promotes life (and is full of life), hosts perpetual Eucharistic Adoration (and has for more than 30 years), and cultivates fruitful vocations to the diaconate, priesthood, consecrated life, and marriage. We foster the communal life with opportunities for all ages, including social events; book studies; retreats for men, women, and youth; adult formation; works of mercy; senior gatherings; and more. We are fortunate to have one of the largest and most established Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) programs in the Archdiocese, fully-integrated within our school's PreK-to-5th-Grade program. Our school, a primary means of evangelization and education, has been serving young people for more than 75 years. Saint Joseph Catholic School forms joyful disciples of Jesus Christ who pursue academic excellence and cultivate a life of virtue. At the heart of our mission is evangelization: helping young people become good, faithful, and productive citizens—and, more importantly, to know and love Jesus Christ and to be virtuous, active members of His Church. Our full commitment to academic excellence is not merely compatible with our Catholic identity and mission; it is demanded by it. We currently serve more than 400 K-8 students and over 65 preschool students.
