JOIN US IN CELEBRATING THE FEAST OF ST CATHERINE NOV 25-26
Our sister parish in Bouzy Haiti will be celebrating their annual Parish Feast on November 25 in honor of their patron saint, St Catherine of Alexandria. This is a major event where everyone including many priests from the area, come together to celebrate their feast day with prayer, food and festivities. St Catherine was known for her unwavering faith and she was a fierce defender of her beliefs, just like the people of Bouzy!. Please join us for hospitality at the weekend masses November 25-26 as we celebrate the parish feast with our friends in Bouzy.

Looking at it through the eyes of Haiti.
(Haiti Formation without travel)
As St. Joseph the Worker continues to review and discuss the Catholic Social Teachings, we would like to apply them to our work in Haiti. It is important to learn about the struggles of people in different circumstances. Although we will focus on Haiti, this formation is centered around community and understanding; how we each have a part to play in serving others. If you have been curious but couldn't travel to Haiti this is an opportunity to understand this ministry and feel the joy and resilience of our relationship in Bouzy and at home. Outreach ministry is fundamental in helping this community seek to be the hands and feet of Christ.
The training and discussion is designed around the book Slow Kingdom Coming, (books will be provided at the first meeting)
4-5 Sessions starting October 12th, with the group to decide the other times.
Session 1 - each person will introduce themselves and share what brought them to this discussion (more information to follow).
Session 2-5 - discussion around the book.
More information about Haiti will be shared in partnership with the series on Catholic Social Teachings. If you are interested or want to hear more, please contact Suzanne Koenigs at suzieq_k@hotmail.com
