Celebrating 100 Years of St. Joseph's Parish!
Get ready! The 100th Anniversary committee is planning an entire year of monthly activities and challenges for our parish, leading up to the parish celebration on November 21, 2027! The first challenge is a contest to create a memorable slogan and a unique logo to capture St. Joseph Parish's mission: a faith-filled community that rejoices in, grows in, and spreads the Love of God the Father, as revealed through the Grace of Our Lord Jesus the Christ, the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit, and the Teachings of the Holy Roman Catholic Church through Word, Sacrament, and Service. Put on your thinking caps-slogans should be 8 words or less and capture the essence of our mission statement in a way that is easy to remember and share. Logos can be hand-drawn or printed. You may enter either or both contests. Further details will be provided in future newsletters, so stay tuned!
NEW DATE: Share your photos from over the years to use for our hundredth year celebration! Photo scanning for historically significant photographs related to our St. Joseph Parish will be offered. This opportunity allows parishioners to bring their photos in person, share date plus event details, and have the originals scanned “while you wait”. These historically significant photos will potentially be used in our upcoming parish 100th Anniversary celebration print and video materials. Join us on October 25th in the Usher's Room after the 9AM & 11AM Masses. If someone can not make it, simply reach out to Kim Flounders (KFlounders@yahoo.com) in order to make alternate arrangements. Our parish has been blessed with decades of fun and fellowship. Please share your memories!
The 100th Year Anniversary committee is in the process of cataloging items that were in the original church. If you have any items that you would like to include, please contact Linda at hoffyphotos@aol.com or 610-653-9542. We would like to photograph the item to include it in the book.
