Summer Festival Volunteers Needed
Many Summer Festival volunteers are still needed to run the Festival—especially in the 3:00 to 5:00 pm time slot on Sunday - but all help is greatly appreciated! Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, get the whole family involved and contribute to the success of St. Joe’s. We have varied opportunities for all ages. Please take a few minutes to sign up by clicking on the volunteer button below. It’s quick, easy, you don’t need a user id/password, and the system will send you a reminder the week of the Festival. Sign up sheets are also available in the Gathering Space.
The Minnesota Twins were so gracious and have given us tickets for our volunteers on Friday, August 13 game at 7:10 pm versus the Tampa Bay Rays. The seating is in sections 104 & 103 off of right field. Volunteer and receive a ticket to the game!

Updated Guidelines for Masses
We at St. Joseph of the Lakes continue to follow Archdiocesan and Minnesota Department of Health Guidelines for best practices regarding Covid-19 in celebrating the Mass and other operations here at St. Joe’s.
The mask mandate has been lifted. We recommend that those who have not been vaccinated or care for a person who is immunocompromised to continue to wear a mask for Mass. If you are ill or caring for someone who is ill, please continue to watch the Mass online as the dispensation from our Sunday Mass obligation is still in effect in these cases.
Our parish has returned to congregational singing and our priests and lay ministers are processing in at the beginning of Mass and out at the end of Mass. W have also returned to processing up for communion (Body Only) and social distance requirements in the pews are being relaxed. We will have sections of pews available for those who prefer to social distance.
If you have any questions regarding Covid-19 procedures here at St. Joe’s please contact Amy Moore at [email protected]
*By attending the 5:00 pm Mass on Saturdays you agree to be filmed for our recorded online Mass.
