Have you ever noticed how families & communities often come closer together when working through a “shared crisis”? We here at Saints Mary & Joseph Parish are currently working through a transition phase that could be considered a “shared crisis.” The Bishop has made clear his decision to keep both church campuses viable. Rather than stick our heads in the sand and “hope & pray for the best”, we need to move forward. Several projects and much-needed mainte- nance tasks have already been completed in the past year. Click here for more:

Most of the recent projects have been funded through a combination of the sale of the “Yellow House” on Main St., next to St. Joseph Church, and generous donations from the Knights of Columbus and others.

1. New LED lighting in BOTH churches (using existing fixtures).
2. “Yellow House” on Main St., next to St. Joseph Church, has been sold.
3. All parish long-term debt has been PAID OFF!
4. Seal-coating and re-striping of parking lot at St. Joseph.
5. Removal of abandoned 6000-gal. underground oil tank at St. Joseph.
6. Fresh interior painting at St. Julie Hall.
7. New chairs for St. Julie Hall.
8. Floor stripping & waxing at MQP Church.
9. Carpet cleaning at BOTH campuses (in progress).
10. Parish Office renovations (in progress).

Please consider how you can be a part of this tangible effort to show that we CAN continue to move forward together as a Parish Family, through your continued financial support, volunteering your time & talents, donating business skills & materials, etc. Thank you.
