In an article in the Savannah Morning News in 2001, Erin Rossiter, a reporter for the paper, included the lyrics to the St. Joseph's Song, written by Patty B. Schreck. (Mrs. Schreck was the Music/Choral director at St. Vincent's Academy for Women in Savannah, Georgia and taught both my mother and me.)

St. Joseph's School of Nursing,
Thy Praises now we sing
All honor and all glory
To thee we always bring
You taught the art of healing
A world of pain and strife
You showed us by your guidance
The way, the truth, the life.
And as we leave these portals
May our prayer ever be
St. Joseph's Alma Mater
God, bless and prosper thee.
