Celebrating 100 Years of St. Joseph's Parish!
|
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. Years/decades we are specifically looking for to scan are: 1940,1950,1960,1970,1980. We are interested in altar servers, festivals and entertainment, Eucharists and Confirmations, and anything liturgical from either church building. Join us on October 25th, in the Church Meeting 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. |
As we move into the fall season, we will again be collecting money toward Thanksgiving meals for needy families within our community and diocese. Last year, it was reported that the average Thanksgiving meal cost $65.00. Please consider sponsoring a family. Any donation can be placed in the collection baskets or sent to St. Joseph Church, 5050 St. Joseph Road, Coopersburg, PA 18036. Indicate on the envelope that it is for the Thanksgiving Food Drive. There will also be a special second collection at Masses on October 31st and November 1st for the Thanksgiving drive. We will finish the drive by November 15th so that gift cards can be obtained and distributed to the families. Thank you for your generosity.
