Dear Parish Family,
We can hardly believe that November is upon us and our annual St. Joseph Holiday Fair (Saturday, November 23rd) is right around the corner! Please see Bishop Christian's letter regarding all of the upcoming parish events and schedules for the fast approaching holiday season. Click here for a registration flyer for our upcoming Advent adult enrichment program, Bishop Baron’s Pivotal Players: St. Ignatius, Bartolomé de las Casas and Flannery O’Connor (Registration deadline: December 1st). Due to your support and generosity, our Calendar Raffle fundraiser has been a great success the last four years and we’ve decided to offer it again this year. Click here for a copy of the calendar. The calendar is filled with $3,500 worth of cash prizes! Please take some time to read through all of the documents and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us. We continue to be very grateful for your faithful support and for everything you do for our parish!
Blessings and Peace,
Bishop Christian and the Parish Staff
Autumn Prayer
God of all seasons, we thank you for Autumn.
We thank you
for the touch of coolness in the air that gives us a new burst of energy,
for the coloring of trees that shows the creativity of the Divine Artist,
for the falling leaves that reveal the strength of the branches,
for the hues of fields that bring peace to our souls,
for the smiles on pumpkins that bring joy to children,
for the fall harvest which that brings us gratitude for the bounty of our land,
for this change of seasons that reveals the circle of life.
God of all seasons, as you transform the earth, transform us by your Spirit.
Amen
— Rev. Doug Leonhardt, S.J.
