A Shared Commitment

Several years ago the parish of St. Joseph the Worker embraced the concept of Commitment to Parish Life, or CPL.  This commitment takes on many forms.  On one of the pillars in the gathering space lists some ideas about the mutual commitment we make towards each other.  If you have not yet seen it I encourage you to do so.  Some of the commitments we make are pretty foundational and easy to see.  So our commitment to you to pray for you.   To provide spirit-filled celebrations of the sacraments.  To provide pastoral care when needed are pretty obvious.  We would also like to ask you to make a commitment to St. Joseph the Worker to worship with us on a fairly regular basis, to pray daily for yourselves and for the parish, and to practice Gospel values.  We find that when we make a mutual commitment to each other, both you and the parish flourish.  When we flourish, then we as individuals and as a parish become a light to others.  Have you made a commitment to us?  I know that we have made a commitment to you.  Fr.
