Beginning November 1, 2021 parishioners will have the opportunity to make a monetary donation to enhance the Altar flowers on a particular weekend in honor of a loved one. A notation will appear in the bulletin stating, “The flowers this weekend are in loving memory of ______from the ______family.” Please trust our dedicated flower committee to find what is seasonal and available each week. If you would like to participate in this program forms are available on the side Altar rails. Just drop the completed form into the collection basket or mail it to the office (clearly marked: Flower Donation Form.) Thank you!
We are looking to start our Coffee Sundays again in October, on the first Sunday of the month, which will also be our Children’s Mass (9:30am). We need volunteers to help with starting coffee at 7am before Polish Mass, setting up, picking up donuts, etc. Coffee Sunday will be after 8am and 9:30am Masses- responsibilities can be divided and you will not have to stay for both. Donuts will be sponsored by one of our various groups. You will not be required to do every first Sunday-many hands make light work! For more information please contact Megan at stjosephplc@yahoo.com.
The school year is almost here! We are ready for a great year in person twice a month, and taking all the necessary precautions and safety measures. Please register your children online, or in person during parish office hours. We are meeting on Wednesdays from 4-5:15. We will have our Meet and Greet on September 29th from 4-5:15. Come and meet your teacher and gather important information. You may also register at this time if you have not already done so.
