Thank you to all our parish members who helped to make the St. Joseph Table and Bake Sale such a huge success. The bakers and parishioners outdid themselves with all the delicious goodies donated for sale. The Stewardship Committee organized the setup, sale and cleanup throughout the weekend. And most of all, thanks to everyone who unselfishly contributed to this worthy cause by buying all the treats. We made over $1,191 to donate to those in need. Our parish is so very lucky to have such generous members!

The Bishop Navagh Columbiettes collects “Tab Tops” for the Ronald McDonald House year-round. These tabs are taken to their Annual Convention in June. The tabs are weighed at a recycling center and the proceeds provide housing for families who need to stay near their hospitalized child during treatment.
