Children of the Prairie
St. Joseph's Quarterly Newsletter

Fr. Greg, Chaplain

Greetings from St. Joseph's Indian School!

As the seasons change, so does life at St. Joseph’s Indian School. The passing of time is often marked by moments. The moment that takes front-and-center in autumn? Our annual powwow! It is a vibrant celebration reflecting the ebb and flow of time.

And oh, what laughter and dancing was had by all as we celebrated our 48th Annual Powwow! As you’ll read in the coming pages, we celebrated these moments by honoring the Lakota (Sioux) heritage, culture and traditions. It was a time we rejoiced in our blessings, shared in our joys and danced in celebration of life.

Your continued support allows St. Joseph’s to host this special event year after year. We are grateful for your generosity and its impact.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven … a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance…”

God makes a way for our Lakota students through the kindness of others who are His hands and feet on Earth. We’re so appreciative to know the Lakota children are in your thoughts, prayers and actions.

Philámayaye — thank you — for being a part of our thiyóšpaye — extended family — and for journeying with us through the seasons of life.

Peace and Blessings,

Fr. Greg Schill, SCJ
Chaplain
