Share your History for the 150th!
The St. Joe's 150th Anniversary Committee is going to celebrate our history in yet another way. We need your help to fill the showcases in the Social Hall with artifacts and mementos from St. Joe's past. If you have any items that relate to the old church or school, we would love to borrow them for the display.
So, dig around in your attics and closets and see if you can find something that brings a smile to your face and a fond memory of your church or school. Just drop them off at the church office any time during the weeks ahead. Put your name and phone number on them, and if there is a story that goes with the item- please share it. They will be promptly returned after our Harvest Festival 150th Anniversary Weekend celebration that concludes on September 16, 2018.

WE are grateful Lord, for your love, your blessings and your presence each and every day. May we be faithful witnesses, living in communion with the Holy Spirit, to go forth proclaiming your Good News. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord. Amen

Discover the plan that will transform your work, your marriage, your family, your community... your life!
This fall, the Archbishop Harry J. Flynn Catechetical Institute will begin another two-year course at The Saint Paul Seminary. Taught by some of the best instructors in the Twin Cities, such as Bishop Andrew Cozzens, Jeff Cavins, Deacon Joe Michalak, Fr. John Klockeman, Dr. Bill Stevenson, Dr. Todd Flanders, Christina Smith, Linda Corrigan and more, the program follows the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and will make sense of all things Catholic, deepen your faith, and lay out the roadmap to heaven.
The classes are divided into four eleven-week modules and meet on Monday evenings, 7 - 9 pm, with two Saturday morning formative sessions per module. Applications are now being accepted through July 1, 2018, for the class beginning in September.
