Good News
Jesus calls His twelve disciples and tells them to proclaim the gospel. The announcement is to go out to the world and proclaim the good news. As disciples of the Lord, let us take time out and make the same announcement.

The annual Mission Co-op appeal will take place today. Fr. Antony from the diocese of Coimbatore, India will speak at all Masses. Please be generous in your offering in the second collection.

Today is Father's Day. As head of the family, let us pray God's blessings on all fathers that they protect and watch over their families.

There will be a special meeting of the Parish Councils of St. Joseph & Holy Spirit Parishes on Tues., June 17th in the church hall at St. Joseph's. All members are asked to attend.

Stewardship of Ministries

If you love your parish and would like to do something to help, then you are the one we are looking for.

  1. We are in need of more Servers. If you made your First Communion then you are perfect for the job.
  2. We need more Greeters. All you have to do is greet parishioners as they enter the church and hand out bulletins.
  3. We need more Lectors. Training will be provided.
  4. We need more Eucharistic Ministers. Training will be provided.
If you think you can help in anyway, either see Fr. Tom or fill out the Stewardship of Ministries form at the back of the church.

WELCOME - NEW PARISHIONERS - We are always happy to welcome new people into our parish family. If you have discovered our church and like what you experience, why not become a member? Speak to Fr. Tom after Mass or call the rectory to set up a time that is convenient for you to fill out a simple registration form.
