Church Groups Making A Difference
At St. Joseph Catholic School, we are incredibly blessed to have parish groups that commit so much to us. These groups not only raise money, but they volunteer their time and talents in countless ways. Our parish and these groups are responsible for strengthening and funding our school. We are forever grateful.
If you are looking for ways to support the church or school and are unable to do so monetarily, please give one of these groups a try. Even if you are not wanting to become an official member right away, these groups, and the school, are always in need of good people to donate their time and talents.
