Each week, the group will prayerfully reflect on the readings for each Sunday during advent as a way of preparing themselves for the celebration of Christmas.

Ernie for more information or to register for the program.

CYO SHINING STARS- The CYO Shining Star Youth Award honors and gives recognition to the young people who have made a positive impact on their school and community.

PARISH CHILD CARE FOR MASS TIME- Are you an adult or teen who enjoys being with babies and toddlers? Would you like to build up our parish by helping parents and their young children? St. Joseph is starting a new ministry in the Mother's Chapel that will support young families, and we're looking for volunteers to assist parents and offer age-appropriate catechesis to their young ones during mass. Volunteers will serve on a rotating schedule, and training and materials will be provided. This is a great opportunity for teens, grandparents, and anyone else who'd like to live their faith by providing a welcoming and faith-based witness to our young families. For details, contact Joanna Schroer ([email protected]) or
leave your name in the parish office 255-5635 x100.

For more information contact Hank Grimsland, Catholic Campus Minister at: [email protected] or by phone at: 845-255-8536.
SMART SHOPPER CARDS- Did you know that you can contribute to your parish community just by buying your groceries? Through St. Joseph’s parish, you can purchase cards from ShopRite, Top’s and Hannaford’s that can be used towards purchases at those stores. The best part is that for every $100 you spend using these cards, St. Joseph’s Parish receives $5.00 which goes toward maintaining the parish and the many activities we sponsor. The cards are available in $20, $25, $50, and $100 amounts and can be purchased using cash, check, or credit card. Please stop by the parish center during business hours (Monday-Thursday, 9:30-4:00 and Friday 9:30-1:00) to purchase these cards. And don’t forget they make great gifts as well. LOW GLUTEN ALTAR BREADS: are available at our church. Parishioners who are gluten intolerant should see the priest before Mass so that a low-gluten host can be placed on the altar for consecration. At Communion time, please come forward with the Eucharistic Ministers and receive the Body and Blood of Christ with them. Totally gluten-free hosts are not available, so for those gluten-intolerant persons who cannot receive even the low-gluten host, they can of course still receive the Precious Blood from the chalice. Catholics believe that whether Holy Communion is received under the form of bread or under the form of wine, the whole Christ is being received. Please see one of the friars if you have any questions concerning this. LET US KNOW YOUR CHANGES- If you have recently moved or changed your phone number, please let the parish office know. We need to keep the information in our parish census as up-to-date as possible so that we can assure you receive the information we send out to you. Thank you! 255-5635
