The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.  Psalm 145

Please join us today, Saturday, July 24 from 10 a.m. - 12 noon here on the church grounds for the State of Saint Joseph Parish meeting.  I will address our people with an outline of our progress thus far and a look into our future plans over the course of the next five years.  We will conclude with a delicious BBQ immediately following, hosted by the Men's Club of Saint Joseph.  Everyone is welcome.  Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to learn more about our parish facilities, finances and ministries.
