It takes each of us to do a little.

We just completed “Give to the Max Day” and now “giving Tuesday”.  These are days when charities are all asking for our money.  Being a part of a community means supporting those things that can do a lot more with people coming together than they could alone.  So a few people, giving a little, mounts up to a lot that goes much further.  Thank you for supporting those charities you believe in. During this giving season I want to also remind you to remember your parish.  No one family in the parish gives enough to St. Joe’s to pay for any salary on our staff.  But together your financial contribution goes a long way.  We were doing quite well during much of our COVID restrictions and so the staff was able to provide a number of ways we could continue to interact with one another as a parish.  The last month of so we have begun to experience a decline in giving.  So I just want to remind you that although you may not come into the building because of safety concerns, we still provide our Eucharistic celebration on line and as you sit in the parking lot on weekends.  We need your continued support so this and all of our ministries can continue to thrive.  Thank you for your generosity.  Thank you for remembering us during this season of giving.  Fr. Mike
