Join us for Mass or at one of our community events and find out how you can get involved.

Beloved Parishioners of St. Joseph,

The end of summer.  This is the unofficial phrase used for Labor Day.  The day itself honors the tremendous efforts of the American worker and is often synonymous with family get togethers, cookouts, end of season sales, and athletic events.

This year, the holiday was different for most as we continue to deal with the effects of the pandemic.  However, there are still glimmers of hope in our everyday lives.  I can still see the smile behind a mask of the children at school and know that some semblance of normal is beginning as more people return to work.  The sun still rises, still sets, and God’s love for us still reigns.  Our celebrations will return, and I look forward to the day we can all gather safely and confidently at Mass.

As summer comes to an end, be thankful for the opportunity to contribute and lift those around you who need assistance.  Let us begin this new season with hope and a willingness to live by the golden rule.  Together, our spiritual family will thrive if we contribute to the good work of His kingdom.  We can find comforting rest in the words of Matthew 11: 28-30:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Father Jean Baptiste

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  Jeremiah 29:11
