Parish Directory Being Updated
We are excited to announce that we have a committee working on updating a Church Directory for St. Joseph's Parish! We would like to include everyone. If you are not a registered parishioner, please consider completing the on-line registration form found on our St. Joseph website: http://stjosephssm.org. Or, call the office and we will get you registered.
Volunteers are Needed We are asking for volunteers to assist parishioners in signing up for a day and time to have their photo taken for the directory. If you have a little over an hour to assist us before and after a weekend Mass we could use your help! We ask you commit for 30 minutes before Mass and 30 minutes after Mass. We would need to cover all three Masses the weekends of August 13/14, August 20/21, and August 27/28, if you have some time to spare please contact Lauren Schwartz: email: lm_roell@yahoo.com or call 830-513-8958! Thanks!

Scheduling on-line is rather easy and is available Monday-Friday. 1) Visit www.ucdir.com; 2) on the right side of the screen, click the "Photography Appointment Scheduling Login" button; 3) enter the church code: mi1700 and password: photos; 4) follow the directions to choose your photography day and time.

Or, Schedule In Person. You can schedule your photos in person before or after Mass on the following weekends: August 13/14, August 20/21, and August 27/28.
