Father Hoppenjans, from our Sister parish in Kentucky, will be at all the masses the weekend of
June 23rd and June 24th.
As you know, several members of our parish are leaving for the Kentucky mission trip next week. In addition to the mission trip, our parish has helped Father Hoppenjans church and surrounding community for many years with contributions of clothing, blankets, the Christmas shoe box project and financial donations. Father Hoppenjans will be asking you to contribute to this very needed cause when he celebrates the masses with us on the dates mentioned. We will have a second collection for St. Michaels's in Paintsville, KY. You can make checks out to
St. Michael's Catholic Church. We are also providing the address for
St. Michael's as well.
720 Washington Avenue Paintsville, KY 41420

Blessings!
My name is Kayla Rooney and I am honored to be joining the St. Joseph Community as the Director of Lifelong Faith Formation. I look forward to getting to know parishioners of all ages as I journey with you in your faith as an individual, within a family, and as a part of the greater faith community. For the past couple of years I have been working at another local parish in a variety of roles: youth ministry, faith formation, VIRTUS safe environment, Baptism, and special needs. I also have years of experience volunteering with Confirmation programs and helping youth to explore the Catholic faith further. Prior to working in a parish, I worked as a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist and gained experience working with people of all ages with special needs. In all of my work and volunteer experiences, I have been blessed to assist people in becoming the best version of themselves. I look forward to continuing that here at St. Joe's. My husband, Nathan, and I live in Apple Valley with our daughters, Heidi (15 mo.) and Eviana (6 mo.), and our dog, Chevy. Our family has been blessed to grow through the beautiful gift of adoption. We adopted Heidi from New York City and Eviana from Seattle - coast-to -coast! I'm originally from Wisconsin, and by what can only be described as a miracle, I am a Vikings fan (but will always be a Badger fan). I enjoy going on family walks, camping, baking, musicals/ theater, squeaky cheese curds (from Wisconsin), donuts, and a good movie with a bowl of popcorn. I look forward to meeting you all and being a part of your faith journey. Happy Father's Day to all men who fill a father figure role in the lives of others! You are needed and your presence to your children and others is crucial - thank you for all that you do.

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.
