Thank you to those who have filled out a Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) envelope. For those who did not yet fill one out, please do so soon. No gift is too small and our parish is trying to reach 100% participation. This year our goal is $61,699. For those of you who did not receive an envelope in the mail, they are available in the pews or at the entrances to the church. You may also give online to the Catholic Services Appeal. Online giving provides donors with a secure and easy way to make a gift to the CSA. Go to www.catholicdos.org and click on “Give Online Today.” St. Joseph will automatically be credited with your gift. The Church serves each of us in some way and our financial support is needed to continue God’s work in our area.
