 Calendar 2017 is quickly coming to an end. Now is a wonderful time to consider donating appreciated stock to St. Joe's. It is a simple process but can make an important difference in support of our parish ministry operations or reducing our mortgage debt. As you consider your year-end charitable contributions, please keep the Church of St. Joseph in your plans.

 

 During this time of year, it is important to remember the many ways that God has blessed each one of us. Thank you for the many ways you share your God-given personal gifts & financial resources with our parish. Your contributions will allow us to present another year of faith-filled ministry to thousands of people in 2018.
