The St. Joseph Parish Pastoral Plan 2025-2027 is being distributed with the bulletin on January 5th and is accessible now online (click to access). The plan was spearheaded by the Parish Pastoral Council and reviewed by both the Parish Finance Council and Parish Staff. The plan offers a path to strengthen parish community and relationships, to deepen our love for God through worship and prayer, and to assist us in encountering Jesus in all our brothers and sisters. If you have questions or feedback, please contact any member of the Pastoral Council.

The annual Warm Winter clothing drive runs from January 11 to 19. Men’s, women’s and children’s new and gently used clothing in good repair is accepted. There is a special need for winter coats, boots, hats, gloves and scarves. Place donations in the barrels by the doors of the church. Last day to donate is January 19th. Thank you for your generosity.

Thank you to those who have already contributed to the Parish Grand Annual Appeal. The Appeal is essential in helping us to pay our bills on a year-to year basis without needing to dip into savings. We hope to have as many as possible from our parish family contributing to the Grand Annual. Please take home one of the packets at the entrances of the church or contribute through the information that you received by mail/email or through the parish website. Thank you.
