Greetings Parishioners,

Our plans for the 2012 St. Joseph Festival are under way. We would like to invite everyone to assist in any way they can for the festival this year. Our goal is to raise enough money to offset the operational cost of the festival. Together as a parish, we can do it. This may be through fund raising, donations and securing sponsors as well as volunteering your time and talent working at the St. Joseph festival. Our fund raising includes a Mardi Gras and a Cinco De Mayo Dance hosted by our steering committee to assist with the entertainment expense.

As a reminder there will be a meeting with booth coordinators dates are still pending. Our Steering Committee meetings are held on every First Thursday of the Month. Parishioners and festival volunteers are welcome to sit in and observe.

 

Thank You All.
