Upcoming Meetings and Events

(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

Are you interested in healthcare concerns in Haiti and the challenges of providing medical care to them? – Join us January 12
Here is your opportunity to learn! Medical professionals and anyone interested in what healthcare is like in Haiti are invited to come to a class on Saturday Jan 12. Given by parishioner Dr. Mark Millis, who has spent the past 10 yrs. traveling to Haiti and helping to bring much needed medical care there, it will include a brief tropical medicine update and general information about public health concerns in Haiti. It is designed to be appropriate for professionals and non-professionals alike. It will be held at St. Joseph the Worker at 9-11:30am on Jan. 12th. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
