This is a reminder to all the parents of young children who have not yet received First Holy Communion. You are invited to bring your children at communion time for a blessing. If the child is old enough, have the child cross their arms above their chest, this will indicate that they wish to be blessed.

St. Joseph Parish will be open for prayer during the following hours in the hall during our church renovation.

Monday - 7:15 am to 4:30 pm

Tuesday - 7:15 am to 6:30 pm

Wednesday - 7:15 am to 4:30 pm

Thursday - 7:15 am to 6:30 pm

Do you sing along? Has anyone ever told you you have a great voice? Then maybe you'd like to join our contemporary music ministry! We are looking for a few new singers for our adult group, and even more for our teen group.

If you're in high school or older, please consider it! Come see us after Mass or email Tom Lynch at tomlnh@comcast.net for more information.

We are looking for volunteers to help make our Book Room for the Holiday Craft Fair November 2026 a success! Assistance is needed with sorting and organizing books, setting up the room, helping during the fair, and cleaning up and clearing out afterward! There are many moving parts involved, and every helping hand makes a difference. Some tasks require lifting of boxes and setting up tables. Book collection and sorting begin in the fall as we prepare the Book Room for the sale in November. If you are able to help, please consider joining us! 

This is a great opportunity for youth volunteer hours. Interested?

We are pleased to share that Online Giving is now available at Saint Joseph the Worker Parish through our new ParishSoft Giving platform.  Designed to be simple, secure, and convenient, Online Giving can be accessed by visiting our website.  A Quick Start Guide is available to help you get started.  Our traditional envelope system will always remain available for those who prefer that method of giving.  Thank you for the many ways you continue to support and strengthen our parish community. 🙏

Our worship space renovation began on Sunday (4/12), marking the start of a meaningful journey for our parish family. Over the next several months, we will be prayerfully renewing our sacred space as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of our church.

For the past six months, a dedicated parish committee has been working closely with the Bishop to thoughtfully plan these updates. The project will include painting, new carpeting, and simple decorative touches that will enhance the beauty and reverence of our worship space, gathering areas, and chapel.

During this time, Mass will continue to be celebrated in our parish hall, which has been arranged as a beautiful worship space.  The hall will also remain open for personal prayer, and Confession will continue to be available in a designated classroom.  Please refer to our website for our hours: https://www.stjoenash.org/worship.  Please note that we will not be livestreaming our Masses during our parish renovation.  We will resume when the renovation is complete.

We are grateful for your patience, flexibility, and prayers as we move through this time of renewal together. All of this is being done for the glory of God and to create a space that reflects the beauty of our faith and the love of our community.

The Corpus Christi Food Pantry and Assistance serves many clients in need of fans during the summer season. Most of our clients live downtown in crowded multi-family buildings with no air conditioning and

often not even a fan. If you can donate a new or used fan, please bring it to Corpus Christi, 3 Crown Street.

Mondays & Wednesdays, 9:00 am-12:00 noon or

Tuesdays & Thursdays, 2:00 pm-4:00 pm.

If you are interested in donating or funding, that will help us provide fans this summer. We will shop and share the fans with those who need them most! We appreciate your support and any help you can provide.

God Bless!
