Dear Parishioners of St. Joseph:

Sorry for my tardiness on the bulletin, I'm a little behind on this.

1. Baptisms -- Congratulations to Juliana Dimino, the daughter of John Paul and Elizabeth Dimino, who was baptized October 24, 2021.

and also to Lillian Norman, the daughter of Byron and Elizabeth Norman, who was baptized on November 6, 2021.

2. Funeral today for Ana Maria Lopez -- The Funeral Mass is at Noon with visitation an hour beforehand. Please keep her and. her. family in your prayers. If you are planning on attending, please wear a mask.

3. Parish Office Hours -- We are open on Monday and Tuesday of this week. The office will. be closed on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

4. Thanks to the Parish Staff, deacons, the Welcome Back Committee, the Knights of Columbus, the Art and Environment Committee and everyone who made the Parish Welcome Back celebration very special.

5. Giving Tuesday -- Please remember that November 30, 2021 we are participating in iGiveCatholic. This fundraiser will help us pay for our new Fire Alarm system and for the rest of the Stained Glass Windows. You can donate here:

And you can always make a check out and drop it in the church offertory basket or bring it by the Church Office or mail it in. You can also add a note to online giving through OSV.

6. Fire Alarm System is installed the work is completed. If there is a fire in the middle of the night in the church building, now first responders would be notified. Now we just need some assistance with your gift on Giving Tuesday.

7. Camera System -- Very soon we will also have a fully functional camera system around the Church. We were awarded a grant from Homeland Security a few months ago that will help us pay for this new technology. Thank you very much to Debra Hicks and the Finance Council who have been very diligent and helpful with this effort.

Peace,

Fr. Jason
