Our Holy Family Has Found a Home
At St. Joseph's
“To gather round the Bethlehem grotto contemplating there the Holy Family, enables us to appreciate the gift of family intimacy in a special way, and spurs us to offer human warmth and concrete solidarity. “– Angelus, December 29, 1996 St. John Paull II

Human Concerns
October Donations
Through the month of October our generous parish has donated to the empty baskets
15 blankets
Over 50 toothbrushes mouthwash and toothpaste
Over 50 bottles of soap and shampoo
Countless warm articles of clothing.
And more.
These items go to organizations that support the needy, including Repairs of the Breach, Family Promise, McCannon Brown center, and the House of Peace.
Women's Group
Twenty-eight women attended our Women’s Group on October 12 to eat breakfast and listen to our guest speaker, Joan Carey, from First Fruits. Joan invited us to look for God everywhere and talked about her own faith journey. She also talked about how she started her ministry, First Fruits, which is a place for women to grow in faith together.
Might be another field trip for us!
Join us on October 26 when we visit Holy Hill (sign up at the resource table) and at our next meeting on December 14 at 10am when Susan McNeil, from our Archdiocese,
will lead us in an Advent reflection.

Character counts, and a positive fit with the team brings out everyone’s best. This was one of the messages shared by Wayne Larrivee, the Voice of the Green Bay Packers, as he shared stories and wisdom from his career in sports broadcasting. Over 100 people filled the Gatheirng Hall for the event on September 27, which was hosted by the St. Joseph Men’s Group. Much gratitude goes out to Wayne and to all the volunteers who made this happen.
