St. Joseph of the Lakes is proud to have an active faith community - there’s always something going on! Be sure check the listing below for news & events. Please check out our other channels too:
Mission Priest the Weekend of July 19 & 20
This coming weekend we welcome Rev. Sanish Mathew who is our Archdiocesan assigned missionary preacher for this year. He will speak to us about the missionary needs of the diocese of Aitape in Papua, New Guinea.
Fr. Mathew serves at St. Theresa of the Infant Jesus parish in Premont, Texas. So he comes to us with familiarity about the United States because he has served here for a number of years.
I thank you for your warm welcome to him and your generosity for the appeal that he makes to us.

We are excited to announce the creation of an Evangelization Team! (Father Bill will be the leader of the new Evangelization Team & Jacob Wilson will be the Staff Representative) The Evangelization Team will focus on planning, leading, & executing new & recurring events for all ages.

Saint John’s Bible This Week
We change the Saint John’s Bible illumination that is on display in the Gathering Space each week? The display most often relates directly to one of the lectionary readings for the weekend. This weekend’s illumination shows images from our Gospel reading about Mary and Martha. The women represent the two sides of love and care, two images of hospitality.
Take a look at the “Luke Anthology” either in person, or on the Bible’s website at www.saintjohnsbible.org and click on SEE THE BIBLE. What image of Jesus is formed through these parables?
