Our world is in the midst of the greatest refugee crisis in history. Two evenings here at St. Joseph Church will pro-vide education and stories about refugees.

Both evenings will be from 6:30 – 8:00 pm. in the Par ish Hall. Consider these presentations as a fitting ADVENT REFLECTION as Pope Francis reminds us that: “The painful experience of these refugee brothers and sis-ters recalls that of baby Jesus, who at the time of his birth could not find a place to stay when he was born, and Jesus, Mary and Joseph who were forced by Herod to take flight and seek refuge in Egypt” (Mt. 2:13-14). WORLD RELIEF par tners with the U.S. Department of State to resettle refugees. Sponsored by St. Joseph Charity and Justice Committee.
