Parish Game Night
The next Family Ministry event will be Game Night in the St. Mary
Room, inside the Social Hall, on Friday, Aug. 26, from 6 to 8:30pm.
Bring your favorite board or card games (family-appropriate, please)
and a healthy snack to share. Please, no electronic or video games.
This is a free event. No sign-ups necessary. If you do not have family
members to join you, come anyway and meet some members of your
parish family. All ages are welcome. Children ages 7 and under may
come in their pajamas. Children must be accompanied by adults.
Volunteer Corner
All Parents attend a pre-baptismal class prior to baptizing
their child at St. Joseph. The class for Spanish-speaking
parishioners is usually held on the First Saturday of the
month. We need a bilingual assistant who would also be
available once or twice a year to teach the class. If you
are bilingual and would like to be part of this ministry,
we invite you to contact the parish office.

We are also looking for an individual or a group who would
take on the weekly ministry of cleaning the altar linens
starting as soon as possible. If this is something you would
like to do, please contact the parish office.
