There are many ways our faith becomes stronger and more meaningful. One of the best ways this happens is when you have to explain or demonstrate to someone else your own understanding or beliefs. Becoming a teacher in the Religious Education Program not only brings our faith to the hearts of youngsters for life, it also helps crystallize and strengthen the teacher’s own beliefs. If you are interested in volunteering as a teacher in the Religious  Education Program (K – 8th Grade), please contact Kathleen Miller at StJoeRelEdLP@gmail.com or call St. Joseph’s office at 973.696.4411 x5. This is a wonderful way to grow in faith and help your parish.

Deacon Joe is in good spirits and would love to hear from his St. Joseph Parish family. He would welcome your calls, texts, prayers, and words of encouragement.
If you would like to reach out to Deacon Joe, you may call or text him at 973.713.5471. You may also contact his wife Cathy at 973.219.0348.
Please continue to keep Deacon Joe and his family in your prayers.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who helped organize and decorate our Children's Parish Picnic. A special thank you to Events by Agata for the beautiful artistic decorations, the stunning photo backdrop, and the balloon arrangements that added so much color and joy to the event. I would also like to express my gratitude to KV Plus Electrical for their valuable assistance with work on the church premises. Your generosity, hard work, and dedication helped make this picnic a wonderful and memorable celebration for our children and families. Thank you all for your support and commitment to our parish community.
