Weekend What You Need To Know

Please take a moment to scroll down the page to see all that is going on at St. Joseph's

27TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
October 1 - 2, 2022

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be offered after Mass this weekend to anyone dealing with serious illness or surgery. Simply come to the front of the church after our three “Hail Marys” and the Prayer to St. Michael.

Our traditional Blessing of the Animals in honor of St. Francis of Assisi will be held Sunday, Oct. 2, at 12:30 PM on the front lawn next to the tent. All animals and their humans are invited!

St. Joseph’s Respect for Life Committee invites you to a non-traditional baby shower for Birthright being held this weekend after Mass. Birthright desperately needs funds to help their expectant mothers purchase the infant car seat they need to bring their babies home from the hospital. Because of liability, we cannot donate the actual seats; the mothers must purchase their own. Envelopes are available at the display in the vestibule - or:

use the Online Giving option on our parish website.

Our newly established Young Families Ministry is hosting a “Trunk or Treat” event, on Sunday, October 30th, from 2 to 4 PM here in St. Joseph’s parking lot. Aside from candy we’ll have faith-based crafts and other fun things for the kids to do and take home. We can’t do this without your support so please consider donating your trunk. You’d need to decorate it and have candy available to hand out. For more information, check out our bulletin.

United Youth Ministry invites all high schoolers to Dodgeball Sunday evening at 6:30 PM at St. Rose in Newtown. See if you can take down the adult team. Seniors wear green, Juniors blue, Sophomores yellow and Freshman wear purple. Bring a friend!
