All children from 2nd grade and up who like to sing are invited to join the Children's Choir, who will be singing the meditation hymn at the monthly Children's Mass. Rehearsals will be once a month on the Wednesday before at 6:15 P.M. This choir will continue to sing throughout the year and will be the base group for the Christmas Eve Choir. This is a great way for more children to participate in the Mass and contribute their talents to the faith-life of the parish. Our next rehearsal will be Wednesday, September 2 for the Children's Mass on Sunday, September 6. Although attendance at the rehearsal will be required to sing at the following Mass, if you miss one month, you can join for the next one. Please feel free to contact Jessica Avampato at [email protected] for additional information.

Our monthly Sunday Social is a very popular and very important of our parish life here at St. Joseph’s. It is in the church hall after each of the Masses that first Sunday of the month, and it’s a great opportunity to get to know your fellow parishioners better , while enjoying some delicious food. There is also an area in the hall with toys and games where the children can play while you enjoy your food. Any help you can offer by bringing a homemade dessert or by cleaning up at the end of the gathering would be greatly appreciated. The next Sunday Social will be on September 6. And please bring along your family and friends!

On the first Sunday of every month, the 9:30 Mass is a Children’s Mass, which involves the whole family and helps us all, and in a special way the children, to experience the liturgy in a more enjoyable and engaging way. The next Children’s Mass will be on September 6. Please join us for this experience of liturgy for all ages and please invite the people you know and love to celebrate the Eucharist with us.

All men of the parish are invited to join us on Saturday, September 12 for the next meeting of our Men’s Group. This is a group of brothers who meet once a month to learn from one another how their faith can enrich every part of their lives. It’s a great group of guys and we always have an interesting and inspiring conversation. We will gather in the parish center at 7:30 A.M.- yes, that’s right! We chose that time so that you would have the rest of the day to do what you need to do. Please join us and bring a friend- there’s no commitment made by attending, but we do hope you will be part of this community of faith. Come and spend some time with other men of faith.
