Missionary Priest Next Weekend July 27 & 28
Fr. David Mwendwa of the Diocese of Kitui, Kenya, will be celebrating Masses at St. Joe’s on July 27 & 28, in support of the Kitui Partnership. The Kitui Partnership is a global solidarity partnership between our archdiocese and the Diocese of Kitui, Kenya, begun in 2004 in recognition of our shared faith in the Eucharist. The Diocese of Kitui covers an arid and semi-arid rural region that often battles drought and famine, and we are hoping to raise $20,000 to help fund increased access to clean water, sanitation improvement, and education on best hygiene practices. Funds raised in excess of this amount will go to support the general and administrative work of the partnership. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

St. Joseph of the Lakes 2024 Summer Festival - Where Moments become Memories!
That's right - Our favorite community event is happening on August 10th & 11th here at St. Joseph of the Lakes. It takes many hands to make this a successful and fun event for all. You can help by:
Leting your friends and family know about the St. Joe’s Summer Festival and all of the great activities including our Mass under the Big Tent, Java Soul, Pork Dinner and Fireworks on Saturday Night. Sunday has festival games, food, BINGO, a car show and great music with the Saints of Swing and Timbre Junction Bluegrass Band. Spread the word so everyone has it on their calendar that the place to be is St. Joe’s on August 10 & 11.
You can help by volunteering at one of our game booths, helping out at BINGO or serving up a smile with some food at one of the many concession areas. To check out volunteer opportunites or sign up online use the volunteer button below. The Minnesota Twins were so gracious and have given us tickets for our volunteers to choose from for the August 26 or the August 27 game at 6:40 pm both versus the Atlanta Braves. Volunteers can receive up to 2 tickets to one of the games! Questions about volunteering? Contact Eileen Couture at Festival@SaintJosephsParish.org.
