Church Directory Photography
|
Say cheese! Photography sessions for our new Saint Joseph Church directory are underway! A lot has changed since our last directory in 2018 – families have grown in number, children have grown up, and new members have joined our parish. It’s time to capture and celebrate these changes with our parish family! Every photographed household will receive a complimentary 8x10 portrait and directory. Additional portraits will be available for purchase. Sign up for a one-hour appointment at ucdir.com and use church code: in1939 and password: photos.
Remaining appointments are September 10-14 and October 1-2. Weekdays sessions take place 2:00-8:30pm and Saturdays are 10:00-4:00pm. Photos will be taken in the Ackles Parish Center (711 E. Colfax Ave.). Park on the east side and enter through sliding door #5.

"Walk with One" Campaign
|
We are all called to evangelize, and thanks to the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are well-equipped for this mission. It may not mean spreading the Gospel in a foreign land or going door-to-door with the Good News—and it may require overcoming some fears—but the Lord is asking each of us to step out of our comfort zone and evangelize one-on-one.
There is someone in your life right now whom Jesus longs to call to himself. He wants to spark a relationship with them and bless them with his sacraments. In this Year of Mission, Catholics across the U.S. are saying “yes” to a special form of heart-to-heart accompaniment called the Walk With One initiative. This is your opportunity to be God’s instrument in the life of another person. Imagine how our families, neighborhoods, and country will be transformed if every active Catholic answers this call!

Share the Gift of Faith with Our Children
|
Our Children's Faith Formation program is currently in need of a few co-catechists and assistants (full time and substitutes) to aid in the intellectual and spiritual formation of our children. Classes are held on Sunday mornings (11:15am - 12:30pm) for children in grades 1 through 7, beginning Sunday, September 15. Prior experience in the classroom is not necessarily needed (though it certainly doesn't hurt, either); this is a beautiful opportunity to share your love of Christ with our children and grow in faith alongside them! The catechist assistant is a great opportunity particularly for high school students (especially those in need of service hours). If you are interested in serving our parish community through this ministry, please fill out our online interest form. For questions, please contact Sean Driscoll at sdriscoll@stjoeparish.com.

Are you looking to complete your sacramental initiation? Please fill out the interest form here. We will also have a "come and see" evening on Thursday, September 12, in the Basil Moreau Room (BMR) in the basement of the church. Contact Sean Driscoll at sdriscoll@stjoeparish.com to learn more about growing in the gift of faith and exploring fuller and deeper belonging in God's family. **We are also always ready to welcome new members of our Christian community who are desiring to share their faith and accompany others along this journey to join our OCIA team. Please contact Sean if you are interested in learning more, or fill out this interest form.**

Eucharistic Adoration
|
Thank you to everyone who has been committed to making the beautiful ministry of Eucharistic Adoration available in the church on Thursdays from 7:30am - 9:00pm.
As we now journey together through this Year of Eucharistic Mission, we are called to renew our mission to carry the Presence of Christ forth into our families, our community, and our world. We find the strength to do this in the beautiful gift of the Eucharist, and so now more than ever we invite you to consider entering into the ministry of serving as an Adoration Apostle for this academic year. The signup may be found here: St. Joe Adoration Apostle. We encourage everyone to prayerfully discern being an Apostle for one of our 30- or 60-minute time blocks, but if you would like to just be on our substitute list then please complete this substitute form. If you have any questions or concerns, please email adoration@stjoeparish.com.
