Thank you to all St. Joseph’s Volunteers.

This is the month we usually have our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. Since we cannot do that at this time, we would like to take the opportunity to say

“thank you” to all the people who keep St. Joseph’s going! And a special thank you to the folks who are still volunteering during the pandemic, such as the lectors, environment and cloth ministers, the folks delivering donated food to Dorothy’s, and so much more. You all

are so very appreciated!
