ALTAR SERVERS CASSOCKS & SURPLICES
My dear brothers and sisters,
I am in the process of raising funds to buy new Cassocks and Surplices for the Altar Servers. The new Cassocks and Surplices will give the children a renewed sense of pride and belonging. I called our local Christian suppliers. Their average price was $117 to $127. I called a distributor and explained to them what I was doing and they will give us each unit at $80 each.
Several parishioners have already approached me in regard to making donations. Donations should be made to Saint Joseph Parish. In the memo please write ALTAR SERVERS.
Naturally, your donation will be tax deductible, and I ask you to be as generous as possible.
In Jesus name +
I remain

PARISH DATABASE UPDATE
Each year, we are assessed by the diocese according to the number of people in our parish. We would like to have an accurate count so we are not assessed on people who no longer come to St. Joseph Church. Over the years there have been many people who have moved or passed away, many of whom we are unaware. In order to do this, we are asking everyone to fill out an updated parish registration form that is in the back of church. Please take a form and fill it out and return it to us by dropping it in the box in the back of church, mailing, emailing or drop it off at our Parish Office. Thank you.
