Last Sunday’s parish picnic was a wonderful event. Having a great weather day helped too! It was just beautiful. I want to thank all those who made it all possible. Many thanks to those who did the heavy lifting as the set – up and clean up crews. I want to acknowledge the presence of the Boy Scouts from Troop 21 and all our confirmation candidates who served throughout the day in many different areas. Thank you to all who welcomed everyone in our hospitality tent; the food committee which ordered shopped and cooked at the grill, to the Knights of Columbus Regina Pacis Council for their donation of all the soda and water; to all those who organized the face painting and games for the children to those who assisted with the 50/50 and our Carpenters’’ Band for sharing their talents with us and of course to Fr. Manolo our chief party organizer! Most of all, I’m glad so many of you could come and enjoy and were willing to share with others what you brought from home. This is quite a special community! Thanks for all who have done so much to make it that way!
In God’s Peace and Love,
Fr. Michael

OUR PARISH FAMILY PICNIC 2010
We have been running about as hard as we can for some time now. This picnic is our way to thank you for all that you do for St. Joseph Church. You deserve the best.
Our Parish Family Picnic is not just an ordinary picnic because it celebrates, blesses and highlights the community life and ministry shared in our parish. This picnic brings all of us together. It shows just how vital our beloved St. Joseph Parish Community is – how it is truly a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit and the Body of Christ alive and well in the wider community. This picnic also encourages more members to get involved in this parishwide experience of the wonders of our faith. Let this event be a source of affirmation, rededication, hope and promise.
