The St. Joseph the Worker Homeschool group is a support group of Catholic homeschooling families (and future homeschooling families) made up of parishioners and friends of the St. Joseph the Worker Traditional Latin Mass Parish in Tyler, Texas. We enthusiatically embrace the TLM and are faithful to the Church's Magisterium and Sacred Tradition.

We have monthly sponsored activities geared toward enriching the social, spiritual, and educational growth of mothers, children, and families in our membership. Our goal is to support one another in our endeavors to provide a robust Catholic home education for our children.

A:

Yes! Part of our enrollment process includes signing the Code of Conduct, Creed, and Statement of Faith documents. This is non-negotiable from our pastor to join the group. You will be prompted to sign these during the enrollment process and for subsequent years while a member. You may also need to meet with a board member to finalize enrollment if you are new to the parish. 

Q:

A:

The yearly enrollment cost is 25 dollars. Since we're beginning the homeschool group mid-semester (spring 2023), our first semester enrollment fee is 10 dollars--just to cover admin cost. In future, the yearly fee will be 25 dollars.
