Annual Bishop's Appeal
|
Thank you to those who have made gifts to this year's Annual Bishop’s Appeal. If you have not yet had a chance to make a pledge, we invite you to do so today. Please give from the heart so that the many great ministries of our diocese can continue to be funded. We hope that all parishioners will participate; funds raised beyond our diocesan goal are used to support our parish ministries here at Saint Joseph. Additional pledge forms are available in the church and at the parish office. You may also view more information and give online at www.diocesefwsb.org/aba. Thank you again for your support of our diocesan and parish ministries!

Buildings & Maintenance Collection
|
Parishioners and friends, thank you for your generosity to our Buildings & Maintenance Collection, which supports our 2019 boiler replacement project as well as numerous other facilities improvements in our parish. Donate online now!
In the fall of 2019, our parish took out a three-year loan for $250,000 in order to replace two failing steam boilers with several localized water heaters, located in both the church and school. In our facilities planning, we anticipated that this project was still several years away, but the surprisingly rapid deterioration of the boilers, and our inability to continue repairing them, necessitated that we take on this project immediately to ensure heat in our buildings during winter. Your generosity will allow us to pay off this debt sooner so that we can continue to allocate money towards other capital projects and needs in our parish.
Thank you for making a one-time or recurring donation to support the Buildings & Maintenance Collection to help fund this boiler replacement project. Each contribution will make a difference! If you have any questions, please contact Sean Kennedy at skennedy@stjoeparish.com or 574-234-3134, ext. 17.
