Do you have a personal relationship with Christ? Has this relationship changed your life? Do you wish you could share Him with others but are not sure how? CHRISTLIFE is coming to St. Joseph’s Parish and our core team is looking for people who know Jesus and want to help others come to know Him. After each of our Masses the weekend of January 11-12, 2020 members of the core team will be in the St. Francis Meeting Room to show a short video and answer all of your questions about ChristLife and how you can be involved in bringing Christ to others. Refreshments will be available. No commitment necessary at this time. We hope you will come explore the possibilities with us!

Fan The Fire 2019 was a beautiful event with over 450 youth attending from all over: 100 from our parish. The day culminated with a Mass concelebrated by 9 priests. At the end of the Mass was an altar call and the entire church prayed for various vocations. This is the Hope of our Catholic church continuing. Thank you, Scott Anthony, for organizing and thank you to the Ignite core team, speakers, volunteers, chaperones, brothers, sisters, priests, musicians and youth who attended!

Pledged and paid to date is $210,223.62: that is a shortfall of $21,976.38. This shortfall will be paid by the parish if our goal is not met. Thank you for your support.

We are sorry to inform you that after much discussion with our committees and volunteers, we will no longer be hosting the annual St. Joseph Yard Sale.  It was determined that with the increasing challenge of securing volunteers, as well as unpredictable weather, it was best to focus our commitment on other activities within the parish and the community. We certainly appreciate all those who have supported us in the past.
