Environment

St. Joseph's Prayer Group

Volunteers come together to beautify our Church for various liturgies and services throughout the year, including Christmas and Easter. Helpers are always needed. If you want to become involved, leave your name and phone number in the Rectory.

St. Joseph's Prayer Group

The Holy Father in December had announced that 2021 is The Year of Saint Joseph. St. Joseph was a worker, devoted husband to Mary, a father figure to Jesus, and provides us with a great example of what a man should strive to be. Like Joseph, Sons and Fathers in Christ must always strive to deepen their faith in the Lord. Let us answer the call to prayer by coming together with total trust and faith by praying the Rosary and the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. The St. Joseph's Prayer Group is meeting every Thursday nights at 8:00 pm in the Church. Prayer pamphlets for how to pray the Rosary and Divine Chaplet will be made available to everyone.

Parish Committees

Enrichment Speakers Series

The SEC Enrichment Committee plans and hosts several guest speakers for the benefit of our parishioners and the surrounding community. Topics vary and have included “Wills, Trusts, & Estate Planning for Everyone,” “Tax Planning for Today & Tomorrow,” and “Prepare, Respond & Recover: What to Do When Disaster Strikes.”

Call the rectory for information.

Annual Parish BBQ

Enrichment Speakers Series

Our “Celebrate the Spirit” annual barbecue brings together the generations for an afternoon of delicious food, great music, raffles, and fun & games for our younger parishioners. This joyful celebration is usually scheduled after 11:30 AM Mass on a Sunday in late June. Plenty of volunteers are needed. Get involved by contacting the rectory and leaving your name and number.
