One of the hallmarks of the St. Joseph Parish family is hospitality. Our community is strengthened (first and foremost) by praying together, but we also talk, laugh, and listen to one another as a natural way of heeding the call to "love and serve the Lord" as we love and serve one another.
Coffee and conversation is one way of providing that opportunity for hospitality and socialization. After the Sunday 8 and 10am Masses, coffee, juice, and some simple treat (usually cookies) are served in the back of church for people of all ages to enjoy.
When our community celebrates a baptism, our usual offering of coffee, juice, and cookies is replaced with a festive assortment of home-baked goodies and punch to joyfully welcome a new member of our community and to remind all of the joy of our own baptisms.
Volunteers for setting up tables and making coffee are always needed.
"Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels."
-Hebrews 13:2
