A recent study asked people if they would rather receive gifts or give gifts at Christmas time?   Overwhelmingly people responded that they would rather give gifts.  That becomes very visible when we see how many gifts are carefully placed under the tree.

Please consider a donation in Memory of Loved Ones. Place donations in envelopes provided and return to Parish office, drop in safe in St. Joseph Hall or place into collection basket. Thank You!

We have just celebrated Thanksgiving.  It was a time to give thanks to God for the generous gifts we have received from a God who loves us beyond measure.  Everything we have has been a gift from God.

St. Joseph the Worker is blest with so many parishioners from all over the Twin Cities and all over the world. Each comes with a particular perspective on life as well as ways things can be done. As a result our parish seems to enjoy the many ways we take simple things and give them a new approach.

The other weekend we asked you to sign up for the various ministries in the parish.  There were dozens of you who said you wanted to participate in one or more ministries.

You can make a difference this Christmas! Discover all the opportunities you have to share your love through our Christmas Outreach.

The other day a study was released showing which age group felt the most alone. Surprising to me was that the age group was 15-25. It seems that they are the folks who are constantly on social media.

People are continually amazed by the number of ministries we have at St. Joseph the Worker. The team from our parish is currently in Haiti with our sister parish, St. Catherine’s.

This week you should have received in the mail a booklet that tells you of the many great things happening in the parish.  There are dozens of ministries listed and many more that are not. These ministries are successful because you thought of them in the first place and then invested many hours to get them rolling.

At the dedication of our worship space on May 1, 2003, the Archbishop said “You are the best singing, best praying parish in the diocese!”  That has been one of the hallmarks of this parish for years.
