Good afternoon St. joseph Families, We have a few changes for this Sunday: This Sunday, January 7th, St. Joseph Church will have Mass at 6:00 p.m. AND their potluck celebration will be held at the same time in the Parish Hall (Cafeteria). Because of this change, the 3rd and 4th grade students will not be singing at Mass however, students in grades 1-8 have been invited to sing a few Christmas carols for the parish’s annual Christmas/Epiphany Potluck. Your family is invited to attend and bring a dish to share. While this is not a mandatory event, we do hope to have as many of you all there as possible for this special occasion. We know this will be a fun opportunity for the children, and their contribution will be very much appreciated. If your child is able to join us, please have them in full Mass uniform by 5:30 p.m. in the Music room where Mrs. Cruz will warm up with the students. Singing will begin after the food is served and last about 30 minutes. Please let us know if your child(ren) will attend so that we may have a count. You may reply to this email or call the office. Thank you and have a blessed evening, Jessica Rodriguez

Sunday, January 7th, St. Joseph Church is having their annual parish potluck dinner after 6:00 p.m. Mass and we are all invited. Our 3rd and 4th grade students have been asked to sing at Mass and at the social after. Any student who missed their School Mass hours for the first semester MUST also participate this Sunday. Full Mass uniform is required by all students in 3rd grade, 4th grade, and any student making up Mass service hours. Students should be in our school Music room by 5:00 p.m., they will be walked over to church for Vespers and Mass, and then walked back to the CNE to sing for the parish community at the potluck dinner. We are encouraged to come and participate in Mass as well as the potluck. You may bring an appetizer, entrée, dessert, or drinks. Please also provide serving utencils for your dish.
