Good News
Jesus speaks of division in the family. If we are not united by family members, we will be divided. To work together in projects will help promote unity and justice. Let us open our hearts and minds that what we do as a group will be accomplished for the unity of all.

On Sunday Sept. 9, 2007, we at St. Joseph will officially open our 100th Anniversary at the 10:30 AM Mass. I ask that all parish and civic organizations be represented at this Mass as well as parishioners of St. Joseph. This is a milestone for all of us, and you should celebrate it to the greatest extent. Following the Mass, a toast will be given by all in the church hall. Everyone is invited to attend.
