We had a very nice Lunch and Information session/meeting with the St Joseph's Indian School. It was very nice to meet Fr Steve and Denise in person and hear their words about the school. Fr. Steve said a wonderful opening prayer before the meal in a rather Traditional way. At the end of the session he also did the Four Directions Parayer to close. The school values traditional ways of the Lakota and strives for Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit Teachings and help for children from the surrounding Reservations who are in need of it. The children live in an apartment type housing with two house parents and a handful of other students, helping to develop their social skills and homelife responsibilities. I am very happy with my contributions to this organization and will continue to give and support the St Joseph's Indian School.
