Pro-life Reflection: At year’s end, we reflect upon what we have done and what we have failed to do. What have we done this year for the defense of life? Let us re-solve (today) that we will increase the amount of time and energy we devote to the number one moral issue: restoring the right to life. Prayer: Father may my future be filled with the joy of life, and of defending life, through Christ our Lord. - Fr. Frank Pavone

Attention registered St. Joseph Church members:

If you were: a registered member of St. Joseph Church at any time during 2017 and used offertory envelopes, and would like a copy of your offertory tax statement, please contact the church and request a copy at any time. There is no cut off date for your requests. Tax state-ments will be mailed in a timely manner, but only upon request. Thank you.

Cultivating an attitude of gratitude Please make it your personal mission this week to let a

volunteer know how much you appreciate them by say-ing ‘thank you’ for the help they offer us, and for the tal-ents/stewardship they employ in service to God and our parish family. Then, take this attitude of gratitude out into the world and hold a door for the person behind you even if it is inconvenient, be patient in line in the grocery store, or at a traffic light, and offer it to Jesus.

Cemetery and Funeral prices will be increasing effective Jan 1. Pricing is posted in the office during business hours.
