St. Joseph tidbits
St. Joseph Church Census
St. Joseph’s is needing to update current church parishioner information, with the last update being 2012. The Parish CENSUS was started last weekend and will continue on. Please check the pews for forms and pencils (also at the back of the church) and complete them. You may hand them to Paulette Aronson or Carl Dasenbrock at the end of Mass or leave them at the back of the church at your convenience.
Thank you to those who have already done so!

October is the month dedicated to the Holy Rosary! It is a good time to commit to praying the rosary every day. We honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary as we say our prayers for our loved ones, the church in the world.“The repetition in the rosary is meant to lead one into restful and contemplative prayer related to each Mystery. The gentle repetition of the words helps us to enter into the silence of our hearts, where Christ’s spirit dwells” (usccb.org). Let us pray on!
St. Joseph is needing to update the current Parishioners’ information. The parish Census will be started this morning (forms and pencils supplied in the pews and at the back of the church). Please complete the forms and submit to Paulette Aronson or Carl Dasenbrock. Thank you!
