* Stewardship in Action *

Volunteers share their Time and Talent in many ways. We are blessed to have many wonderful ministries and we are grateful for all of our dedicated volunteers. We encourage others to get involved. Each month we will highlight a different ministry. If you are interested in volunteering you should contact the ministry leader or the rectory office for more information.

This month’s featured ministry:
* Beautification of Our Parish Grounds *
Things we take for granted: the beauty of God’s creation and those who assist to maintain it. We are blessed to have a group of dedicated volunteers who toil tirelessly to maintain the gardens in front of the church & rectory and we want to take this opportunity to thank them for their hard work for the parish. This is a committee of dedicated volunteers who enjoy working together in the gardens around the church grounds. We have Fall & Spring Cleanups, Fall & Spring Plantings and year round weeding & pruning. Depending on the number of volunteers, various sections of the gardens and grounds can be assigned to be maintained by an individual or group. Work can be done at the volunteers convenience as long as it does not interfere with any other scheduled liturgy or function such as Funerals, Weddings, First Communion and Confirmation.
If you love getting your hands dirty in mother earth, and you have a God given talent– a green thumb– or just a desire to make something beautiful for God and His people, then we invite you to come join our ministry. Please call 588-8456 and leave your name and phone number and someone from the ministry will contact you with more information.

There are those who help out in the parish by sharing their time and talent in a special way. Last month a dedicated parishioner was kind enough to donate his time to help St. Joseph's Parish. This gentleman cleared all the debris from the church parking lot and repainted the white lines for ease of parking when you attend Mass. This was a labor of love to give something back to the church. We are very grateful to him and to all those who give of themselves in this way each and every day. This sharing of time and talent is what makes St. Joseph’s such a wonderful Parish.
If you are interested in making a donation of your time or materials please contact the rectory office 631-588-8456 and leave your name and phone number.
