2022 Gala
Our 2022 Gala was an evening to remember as we raised a glass at Josephinum Academy's very own Oktoberfest celebration! In honor of our German heritage and our long tradition of empowering and educating young women since 1890, we welcomed friends, new and old, to The Jo for a night of revelry and impact.
