A Happy Healthy and Blessed Easter to you all!

 

Father Julius wishes to extend his heartfelt gratitude to the many volunteers who made our Easter celebrations so beautiful, especially Jodi and Ben Swiderek. Whether you decorated the sanctuary, prepared the altar and candles, or worked tirelessly behind the scenes on tasks that often go unnoticed- thank you! We are truly grateful for the gift of your time and talent.

 

We need your smile for our new Parish Directory! Photography sessions will run from May 12th through the 16th in the Education Building. Participation is free, and every family gets a free 8x10 photo. You can sign up online right now at ucdir.com using the code and password listed in today's bulletin. We want to make sure everyone is included, so sign up today!

 

All Gala attendees should have received two emails about next week’s Gala. One email with details about the Gala and a second email with a preview of the Silent Auction items. If you have not received the emails, first check your Spam folder, then reach out to your Table Contact, as the emails were sent to those individuals. We asked Table Contacts to send these emails along to the other folks on their Reservation Form. Check the Bulletin for some critical information.

Attention Spring Gala Attendees!

​

Reservations Contact: We kindly ask you to share this email with all of the attendees that were listed on your Reservation Form.  Thank you in advance.

​

We are extremely excited about the 1st Annual St. Joseph the Worker Gala and can't wait for our Parish community to come together in faith and fellowship.  We greatly appreciate your support for our Gala which will directly benefit our Family Life Center (FLC) project.  The FLC is a much needed space that will provide St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church with additional office space, storage, kitchen area and classrooms.  All of these areas will allow us to better serve our Parish and the four surrounding counties that we currently support.  There will be a rendering of the FLC at the Gala and Steering Committee Members will be on hand to answer questions.  Make sure you stop by to check it out.
