Continuing progress

St. Joseph parish is a work in process. Thanks to the efforts of parish committees and the Parish Activity Council, there are some exciting things in the works. It still goes back to the importance of our volunteers and the need for new people to come forward. The recent canceling of a Family Night because of lack of leadership is an example.

The plan for Family Nights is simple. One Sunday evening a quarter, we gather families together for an appropriate activity. Food has been a part of that and potlucks don't require a lot of work. The theme is seasonal. The Movie Night was a great success and there are lots of good movies available. For November, we had hoped to do something for Advent. We have amterials available but need an event coordinator.

Volunteers can be for a single Family Night. It can be a team of several families that organizes the evening. We are dependent upon volunteers. If the Offertory were doubled, we could hire someone to do it, but there is no reason we can't keep it simple and do it the old fashioned way.
