Thank you - St. Joe’s Food Drive
A big THANK YOU to all those who donated food and financial assistance to our St Joe’s Food Drive last weekend for Centennial Community Food Shelf. We collected 2,075 pounds of food, and $3,431 in checks and cash. This qualifies for an additional $500 match from Knights of Columbus Supreme. With the purchasing power of Second Harvest, this brings the total donation to 10,000 pounds!
Thanks again to all for making a difference in our community. Matt 25:37,40 Blessings!

Registration for the 2026-2027 Faith Formation Program Year is Now Open!
Our faith formation team looks forward to helping our parish’s children and youth grow in their personal connection with God in our world.
The registration period ends on September 1, 2026. Registrations made after this date will include a late fee, and the child’s name may be placed on a waitlist until an open spot on our active roster can be confirmed.
Please register using the Google Form link below that corresponds to your child’s age/grade for the 2026-2027 school year. Each child must be registered separately.
After you register your child, return to this page for the link to pay online (unless you wish to pay by check or cash at the parish office instead).
We love our faith formation volunteers! We’re looking for help across a variety of roles. Check out the volunteer opportunities we offer and sign up to help make our programs a success again this year.
