Our survey is still open, if you have not yet taken it, please click on this link to open do so. Our goal is to become more relevant in our parish and community; to make informed decisions, we’d like your input.
The next event is part of our Support the Military program, which we participate in with other area Councils. Our commitment is to participate in the 10:00 am Mass every 4th Sunday of every even month (February, April, June, August, October, December).

We'll need a few brothers to help setup the room on the day before, Saturday March 7 before the 5 pm Mass. If you can join us at about 4 PM to setup the tables and chairs, this would be greatly appreciated.
Our next major event will be St. Joseph's Feast Pasta Dinner (see poster below), on March 28 after the 5 pm vigil Mass. We will require help to setup the room, serve the food and clear and take down the tables and chairs. Click here to signup for setting up, and helping with this event.
