Our annual Giving Tree is up in our parish again
beginning this weekend and continuing through Sunday December 5th. We have the opportunity to share our many blessings with those in need of extra help for Christmas. Please take a tag or two to help the families in our parish and return all gift cards (with the tags attached) no later that Tuesday,
December 14th.  That will allow the gifts to be delivered to the families in time for Christmas. May we all have a very blessed Advent.

The plants for the front landscape have been graciously donated by one of our parishioners, so now we are working on the procuring the Signage on the Brick wall and the Monument. The Signage will have 
St. Joseph Catholic Church, 1162 Lincoln Way and the Monument will look like this:

If you would like to donate to help procure the Signage or Monument please click on Online Giving below. Thank you!

Evening Online Rosary with KofC Auburn Council 6149 every Sunday @ 8:00pm Join with Google meet: meet.google.com/wwf-hkmt-owk

During difficult times our faith tells us that we need to come together in prayer and pray to our Blessed Lord as one people. In accordance with that tradition, I would like to invite everyone to come and share in the Prayer of the Gospels with us online every Sunday evening at 8:00pm. Given the time of the year we will include the Litany of the Saints. This prayer can be accessed with the following link:

Leo Tolstoy said "Give me faith, Lord, and let me help others find it." 

KofC Auburn Council 6149 would like to offer this rosary publicly to help others find their faith and come together in common prayer. The rosary is our expression of faith, 
and we would like to offer this as a service to the Christian community and to those of like mind to come together and pray for the common good. 

We are open to questions, comments and feedback in an attempt to make this a more spirituality fulfilling experience. Comments can be addressed to me at kofc6149@gmail.com.

"If I had an army to say the Rosary, I could conquer the world."

I hope to see everyone there!
