I want to wish all of you and your families a blessed and very merry Christmas! While this year has thrown our world a giant curveball, I am continually inspired by your hope, resilience, and desire to help those in need. I am truly blessed to be your pastor here at St. Joseph and St. Ann parishes! I look forward to 2021 as we begin visioning for the future and asking God what His mission is for our parishes and for us as His disciples in this world. May the Lord Jesus Christ, who came as a baby into our world at Christmas, continue to fill you and your families with his grace and strength this coming year!
As our calendar year draws to a close, we want to thank you all for the love and support you’re constantly giving us. Even though there have been many difficulties this year, we have found great joy in serving you and we’re looking forward to an exciting 2021; all for the Glory of God! May the light of Christ bring you joy, happiness and peace each and every day!

A big thank you to everyone who helped with, shopped at, and/ or prayed for the Recycle Christmas this year. The event was successful as our youth netted $767 and donated all of the proceeds equally between The Salvation Army Elizabeth House of Hope, Greater Hayward House of Hope and Northwoods New Life Resources Center.
It’s not too late to give memorials for your loved ones this Christmas. The memorials will be used to purchase Christmas trees and poinsettias. Put your offering in an envelope and include the names of those you wish to remember. Place the envelope in one of the collection baskets located at the Church entrances, mail or drop off at the parish office.
