LOVE TO THE NEEDY KIDS.
St. Joseph Parishioners generously participated in the Annual Giving Tree Project. This Christmas outreach project is in partnership with St. Mary’s Parish in Newark who is in-charge in distributing the gifts to the needy child. Many of our parishioners donated time and talent to make the project a real success. Young parishioners who are preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and some adult volunteers help prepare the tree and the tags. Volunteers from the St. Joseph Food Pantry will help sort the gifts and deliver them to St. Mary’s Parish.
This year, we have over 400 gifts to distribute and make Christmas for a lot of children a joyful one.

Christmas is a time for Love; a time for Joy and Peace;
To give a gift of Hope to one who otherwise has none;

Christmas is a time for Love; a time for Joy and Peace;
To give a gift of Hope to one who otherwise has none;
To be a friend to somebody whom everyone else has shun.
It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in giving
Thank you for giving a gift to a needy child this Christmas.
In addition to the gifts given by the parishioners, hundreds of our Religious Education children have put together their efforts to prepare beautiful gifts (Christmas Cookies) for all of the families who receive our food assistances from St. Joseph Food Pantry. This is part of their Christ-Centered Celebration. Thank you kids. (see photos in the Photo Gallery Section of this blog)
