Our Faith Formation Ministries starts the year with a “Family Kick-Off” fun family event scheduled for Wednesday, September 30^th at 6:30 pm in the Worship Space. All families are welcome, all ages; however, we are limited to seating 62 families or 250 people total in the church. 

Our guest presenter is Brian Richards, Magician and a former Director of Faith Formation Ministries for many years. We will be following the guidelines that are required for Masses:  pre-registration (walk-in’s might be turned away due toattendance limits), masks worn for anyone over 2-3 years old (no exceptions other than verified special circumstances), sanitizing hands upon entry to the sanctuary, seating by ushers only, cleaning of pews before and after and ushered out by pews only. A video recording of the evening will be available on our website if you cannot attend that evening!

We need volunteers to usher, run the A/V system, greeters and help clean the pews following the event. Contact Judy Foster for more information or to volunteer at [email protected]

St. Joseph’s of the Lakes offers the following online services to those who wish to participate interactively in worship services.

Having an internet-connected device (computer, cell phone, or tablet), an email account and a desire to actively worship is all that’s needed. If you are interested please send an email to [email protected] Usually a day or so before the worship or prayer session starts, you will receive an email invite with an active link from [email protected] To improve security, the email will have a short personal message stating the purpose of the Zoom session with a reference to St. Joseph’s of the Lakes.

A few minutes before the session starts, click on the link. If Zoom is not installed, it will do so, after which you will be asked to join the session. That’s all there’s to it.

Liturgy of the Word Service

This service is the online version of our Word and Communion services held in the Small Chapel off of the main church. To start it will be held every Monday at 8:30 am. If there’s more interest, other days and times can be added.

Prayer Group (Christian meditation, guided prayer, and Scripture study)

The Prayer group is hosting an online Zoom conferencing session every Thursday until we can once again meet at church. The start time is 7 pm each Thursday.
