We have a great parish, but your presence will make St. Joseph even better!
Parish Champions
Archbishop Carlson has asked that all parishes implement the Dynamic Catholic Alive Program. It is focused on the book, “The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic.” It is a four-year program aimed at helping the members of our Parish to become a better version of themselves. Spiritual books are kept on the back-right table of the church to help fulfill the ministry.
Christmas Giving Tree
Ministry provides Christmas gifts for the Head Start. Gift tags are made to match requests. Parishioners take a tag off the tree, replace with an ornament and return with the gift. The gifts are then distributed at given time posted on tag.
St. Vincent de Paul Society
The purpose of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is the personal sanctification of its members through acts of charity. The Society quietly and discreetly aids needy families of our community.
Collection Boxes are located at each entrance for donations.
Cursillo
“Cursillo” means literally “a short course.” The three-day weekend gives you a short course in the Catholic faith and helps you experience your faith more fully. You are motivated to engage in a spiritual life filled with joy, laughter and enthusiasm, and to discover an enhanced relationship with God.
For more information and to learn how to sign up, please email stlprecursillo@gmail.com.
