St. Joseph School Lenten Project

We will continue to collect for NPH (Friends of the Orphans) for our Lenten Project. Please remember your pennies!  This Catholic organization has homes in Haiti, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Peru for orphaned children. We have supported this worthy organization for the last several years and they appreciate our partnership. Monies collected will go to where they have the greatest need.

Mass and Mochas!         

Come and enjoy Friday morning school Masses with other St. Joe’s parents, then hop on over to Grimaldi’s Coffee House in Gilman Village for mochas or other tasty treats, and have some fun with your brothers and sisters of the St. Joe’s family.

This Friday, February 26th,  Fr. Bryan will be joining us for a “fireside chat”!  Bring your questions and your open hearts.

This is purely a social activity with the intent of building our faithful family.  We’d love to see you there.

If you have any questions, you can contact either Michele Lalime at momlalime@gmail.com or Kristi Rigoni at mamarigoni2@comcast.net.

TLC

Calling all Cooking Angels!

Here at St Joseph's we are blessed to have a ministry called TLC that provides meals to our school/church families when they need it the most. Whether the need is to lighten the load as families welcome new babies, recover from surgeries or as they mourn the loss of a loved one, we have consistently been able to shoulder the burden of dinner time so that families can focus on what’s important. Hundreds of wonderful dinners have been prepared by our families since TLC was created.

If you would be interested in supporting the needs of our school/church families through this ministry over the next few months, please reach out to me for a schedule.  Your commitment consists of preparing and delivering your specialty dish to a family. All of your time can be tracked toward your volunteer hours.
