Special Events This Week
Parish Enrollment DriveAs we develop a number of exciting new initiatives we ask all our parishioners to Stand and Be Counted, to help us make the Archdiocese aware of the vitality of our congregation. In addition to the enrollment of new parishioners, we ask all parishioners, whether enrolled or not, to complete the brief survey contained in the Welcome Card.Online Giving Systems are now available to All Parishioners.
It is our hope that your input will help us make our spiritual community more relevant to you and help us to better serve your interests and your needs. At the end of the survey you’ll also see an invitation to become more involved in our community and to play a vital role in its revitalization.
Welcome Cards are available in the rear of the Church, in the Parish Rectory and on line in the Registration section of the Parish Website.
If you have any questions or other comments / suggestions, please feel free to contact stmparishprograms@gmail.com. We hope you will accept this invitation to become a more engaged part of this new beginning of the parish we all love.

Next Sunday’s Special Collection
The Annual Collection for
Saint Joseph's Seminary
This month, Saint Joseph's Seminary begins its 122nd year focused on forming and ordaining holy, faithful, and dedicated priests, and once again I ask that you continue, through your prayers and generosity, to support the Annual Collection for Saint Joseph's Seminary. This collection provides critical funding to support the formation for the archdiocese of over forty seminarians. Our seminary is held in highest regard, and the cost of nurturing and training our future priests is an investment for tomorrow that all of us need to share. Your support of our future priests, during their time of preparation, is deeply appreciated.
With prayerful best wishes, I am,
Faithfully in Christ
