Parish Listening Sessions You are invited to participate in a parish listening session as part of the We Are His Witnesses pastoral planning process. Cardinal Tobin encourages all of the faithful to participate. Registration will open soon. For now, please save the date to attend one of our parish sessions: Saturday, November 15, 9am-11am (English), Saturday, November 22, 9am-11am (Po- lish). Both sessions will be held in the parish auditorium.
Last Sunday our parish held its annual picnic to raise the funds needed for parish expenses. It was a big undertaking that required a lot of commitment on everyone’s part. As a result we had an fun event that raised $8,900 for Saint Joseph’s. Without cooperation between the organizers, sponsors, volunteer workers and participants, nothing would have been possible. Thank you to all. Please join us next year.
On Sunday, September 7th, an important parish event will take place - FOLK PICNIC WITH ROASTED PIG AND DANCE! - to which we invite all of our parishioners, friends and supporters. I remind you that this yearly fun event is the premier fundraiser for the parish, so we hope that you will reserve the date in advance and join us. There will be attractions and surprises for both kids and grownups, delicious dishes and snacks, good music, and a warm family atmosphere. Those who attended the picnic last year know what an enjoyable experience it was for one and all. We also want the picnic to reflect our national heritage in a warm and folksy way, so the wearing of folk and regional costumes and other elements such as scarves, T-shirts, and hats will be welcome and will certainly add color to the entire event. If anyone would like to make a donation towards the picnic expenses, look for the envelopes for this purpose on the tables at the back of the church. As always, the proceeds from this annual fundraiser will be used to pay parish expenses and fund parish projects. Please open your hearts and join us for this worthwhile cause. We count on your presence and support.
On Sunday, July 20th, right after the mass at 11 o’clock, there will be a fundraiser in the parish hall to help support the Boys of the Mokrzyszow Center in Poland, which is run by The Servant Sisters, who will be at the party to share the fun and games. All funds raised will go directly to the center. Let’s open our hearts and wallets for this worthy cause. Remember - a person never stands as tall as when he or she stoops to help a child.
