Our St. Joe St. Vincent de Paul chapter and Goodwill industries are partnering together for our Stuff-a-Truck initiative this weekend! We will have a truck available for your donations before and after all weekend Masses on March 1 & 2 in the north lot across from the church. Take some time to do some early spring cleaning. (No building ssupplies, car parts, or old electronics. Flat screen TVs are okay but not box TVs.) How does SVdP benefit from your donations? Goodwill in turn provides vouchers to SVdP for clients to purchase clothes and basic necessities.
A number of volunteers also needed for this weekend! See https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094FA4A62FA4F5CE9-55058577-stuff#/ or reach out to Tim Cleaver at tcleaver@stjoeparish.com if you have any questions about donating or volunteering.

This year, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is observed on Monday, December 9, and is a holy day of obligation. To fulfill the standard Sunday obligation, Catholics must attend Mass any time after 4pm on Saturday, December 7, or any time on Sunday, December 8.
To fulfill the separate Immaculate Conception obligation, Catholics must attend a second Mass any time after 4pm on Sunday, December 8, or any time on Monday, December 9.
In short, two separate Masses must be attended: one for each obligation.
Feast Day Masses at St. Joe are Monday, December 9, at 7:00am, 12:15pm, 7:00pm. Please join us! #stjoeparish #immaculateconception
People in Haiti continue to suffer at the hands of powerful gangs who ruthlessly attack individuals, neighborhoods, and local and international police. Although our sister parish is located in a rural mountain region, the resulting disruption in accessibility of goods in the country has led to high inflation, lost jobs, and an increase in poverty and hunger.
St. Joe Parish offers support to our sister parish, Mary Immaculate in Platon, through prayer and financial assistance. As we approach the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, we invite you to participate in both.

The annual Parish Memorial Mass will be held on Monday, November 4, at 7:00pm, when we pray in a particular way for those who have died in the past year. All are welcome.

A focal point in every Catechesis of the Good Shepherd atrium is the prayer table (it can also be a place that lives at the heart of the family home!). Our afternoon CGS students processed through the hallways of our parish offices this afternoon as they practiced preparing the prayer table in our atrium.

Who We Are
Saint Joseph Parish,
in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, is a community of God’s people that has been led by religious of the Congregation of Holy Cross since the foundation of the parish by Fr. Edward Sorin, C.S.C., in 1853.
We are a vibrant, intergenerational parish, inviting all with the words of Jesus: “Come and see.” Anchored in the charism of the Congregation of Holy Cross and inspired by the Holy Spirit, we strive to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ and to grow as a faith community by making God known, loved, and served.
