St. Joseph’s School of Nursing

Please Note

Reunion Day Luncheon and Mass May 2025 have

been cancelled!

Hello Everyone,

This is reminiscent of a message sent in 2020 when we had to cancel our Reunion Day due to COVID.

It is with huge regret that we inform you, we are cancelling our Reunion Day on May 22, 2025. We have just been informed that Michelangelos Banquet Center has gone into receivership and their doors are locked.

Due to such short notice and being a holiday weekend, we have no other option but to cancel our Reunion Day celebration. We will reimburse you for the cost of your luncheon tickets, however, this may take some time – please be patient with us. We thank you for your understanding.

As calls are made, news of alternate get togethers made by some individual classes will go forward. We wish you the best.

Hope to see you next year at a new venue.

With regrets from your St. Joseph’s School of Nursing Alumnae Association Executive,

Kathy Jackson ‘73

A Rich History

On January 22, 1915, the first group of nurses, nine young ladies, graduated with an impressive ceremony in the school lecture hall, after which they returned to their wards and patients. Graduates received their black bands in their senior year and their pins, diplomas, and a beautiful bouquet of red roses at a graduation ceremony.

Membership

Membership in the Alumnae is contingent on payment of the annual membership fee. All St. Joseph's School of Nursing graduates from the classes of 1915 to 1978 are granted eligibility for active alumnae membership.

Our Constitution

The Constitution is the agreed-upon plan of action that provides the Executive and Alumnae members with important principles that give stability and continuity to the ongoing operations of the Association.
