First Sunday of Advent

by Fr. Boniface Endorf, O.P.

Dear St. Joseph Parish Family,

Welcome to the Advent Season! In this time we prepare ourselves for the coming of Christ at Christmas, so it’s a time of vigilance and watching. Let us spend these weeks in prayer as we prepare our souls for the graces of Christmas.

Also, we have an announcement: we have hired Laura Rathjen as our new parish ministry coordinator. She will oversee the many ministries here helping with the administrative, logistical, event planning, etc. I’m excited to have her on our team and her help with our growing ministries. Estefania Wilt has also agreed to stay on to lead the children’s religious education program (CCD) and we’re excited to have her continue to grow and improve the program here.

God bless,
Fr. Boniface
