Do you remember what it was like when you were the new kid in the neighborhood, or the new guy at work? St. Joe’s invites you to share your love for our Parish by becoming an “ambassador”.

Starting mid-January, the parish is restarting Children's Liturgy of the Word. We are looking for volunteers to play and share faith with our little ones.

You’re invited! For more information on these events, please check meetup.com.
