ANNUAL DIOCESAN APPEAL: Our 2018 Annual Diocesan Appeal continues at St. Joseph’s. Bishop Pates looks to us and to all the parishes to support the educational, spiritual and outreach service offered by our Diocese. These programs and ministries serve people in many ways that we as an individual parish could never do. St. Joseph’s goal is $25,136.00 this year (down $5,439.00 from last year). the pledge card was mailed to each family. Please complete your pledge card & mail it along with your check to St. Joseph Parish, put it in the collection basket or drop it off at the parish office weekdays between 10:00 AM & 4:00 PM. Everything above the goal is returned to the parish. Everything short of that, we have to pay from our parish general fund. THANK YOU to everyone who gave a donation to help pay for the Easter flowers and decorations. Also, THANK YOU to the ladies and men who decorated the church for Easter. The church was beautiful and as usual, you did an awesome job. NOTE TO ST. JOSEPH PARISHIONERS: It is with sadness and joy that I announced my retirement at the Finance Meeting in February, effective this summer. When I decided to take a companywide management retirement offer from U S West Telephone Company in Omaha, I thought I had “retired”. Then Fr. Chuck approached me regarding the position at St. Joseph’s Parish. I told him I would take the job, but only for two years. What a long two years!! I have enjoyed working for/with you all, but now it is time to sit back, relax and enjoy life. God bless you all, Elaine ?ATTENTION ALL MASS PARTICIPANTS: If you cannot participate in the Mass you are scheduled, please find a replacement APRIL 2018 WEEKEND MASS SCHEDULE FOR ST. JOSEPH AND ST.
