Saint Joseph Catholic Homeschool Group was founded in the 1990s, as a subgroup of Saint Thomas More Home Educators, by Mary Lowry at the suggestion of Julia Fogassy. Mary Lowry and Diane S. decided to have activities take place in the basement of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Tacoma. This decision gave the members a patron saint, a place to meet, and a name for the group.  We no longer meet at St. Joseph's, but we continue to look to St. Joseph as our patron.

Today, there are approximately 50 families who belong to Saint Joseph Catholic Homeschool Group. Most of the families live in Pierce or South King County. The families belong to various Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Seattle.  We are faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

The purpose of Saint Joseph Catholic Homeschool Group is to provide support and education for Catholic homeschooling families through a variety of activities, such as potlucks, children's clubs, couples' night out, mothers' teas, and field trips. As the principal and first educators of our children, may we always remember that our primary responsibility in home education is raising saints for Heaven.
