Dear Members of the Saint Joseph Parish Family,
one another as good stewards of God’s varied
grace...so that in all things God may be
glorified through Jesus Christ....” (1 Peter 4:10-11)
Each one of us has been blessed with special talents. God expects us to use
difference in the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves?
On Saturday, October 19, Saint Joseph Parish is offering us the opportunityto do just that. We are invited to take part in the annual Day of Service, a
make a difference in our parish, in our community and in our world.
This booklet describes the various projects that will be taking place duringthe Day of Service. Please take a look. I am sure you will find one that
October 19 on your calendar.
Then join with your fellow parishioners for a wonderful experience as we
God.
Yours in Christ,
Monsignor David Hubba
Pastor
