Father Patrick and I would like to thank all of you who remembered us this Christmas with cards, gifts, and Christmas treats! It is absolutely our honor to serve the people of the Church of St. Joseph!

We also want to thank all the volunteers who worked so hard and long to help prepare for the Christmas Masses. The dea-cons, liturgical ministers, and greeters who helped at the Masses, The Art and Environment volunteers for making the church look especially beautiful, choir members and musicians for providing beautiful music, and to all the wonderful staff at St. Joseph.

Please know of our continued prayers for you and your family.
