Chesterton News

What is a Newsweater?

You may have noticed in years past that our Newsletter is titled, "Newsweater." Surprisingly not a typo, but a classic literary pun. See below for an explanation from Nathaniel Beckman, our Headmaster:

"I was asked recently to explain the title of this publication. Although one typically would avoid explaining a pun, I will make an exception. It is worth noting that Chesterton famously defends the pun in many of his works, even calling it “a perfect type of literary art.” If you doubt Chesterton enjoyed the pun simply open up any of his books, turn the pages, and you will find a pun under every leaf.  So what does a newsletter have to do with a New Sweater? They both send a message....

Ironically, St. Thomas was nicknamed the "Dumb Ox" by fellow students because of his large physical stature, his shyness, and his silence. His quietness even caused many students to think that he was not very smart at all.

Join us for a Christmas Concert featuring the students of Chesterton Academy of Saint Joseph. The concert will be held December 3 at 6 pm in First Lutheran Church of Dayton.

Admission is FREE and open to the public.

Light Refreshments will be served following the concert.

We have finalized our location for the 2022 - 2023 school year! We will be launching our new school at First Lutheran Church, located at 138 W First St, Dayton Ohio 45402.

We are excited to announce the newest member of the CASJ team.
