Spaghetti Supper

Mamma Mia! Here we go again! The St. Joe Spaghetti Supper is back on Thursday, February 2, hosted in the gymnasium by Saint Joseph Grade School’s Home and School Association (HASA). This Catholic School’s Week event is offered in thanksgiving to our parish community for their continuous support of the educational ministry of our parish! Take-out available from 3-7pm and dine-in from 5-7pm. Tickets are $7/person (maximum $35/family). Ticket sales have now ended.

Adoration

All are invited to commit to a weekly holy hour as an Adoration Apostle each Thursday at Saint Joseph Parish. Adoration Apostles attend Adoration at the same time each Thursday in order to ensure that the Sacrament is accompanied throughout the day. The graces of Adoration are manifold, and Adoration Apostles make it possible for our church to remain open for Adoration to anyone who needs a moment with Jesus throughout the day.

We are currently scheduling for the new year, from January 5 – June 1, 2023. Please prayerfully consider becoming an Adoration Apostle, and sign up now.

"Look upon the hour of Eucharistic Adoration as an hour in Paradise." -St. Peter Julian Eymard
