Our Mission
St.
Joseph the Worker Parish is a Eucharistic community of believers
commissioned through our Baptism to share the Gospel message of
Jesus Christ with all people. Out of our diversity we create
unity through respect for every person, common celebrations,
sacramental worship, Christian education of all ages, and outreach
programs.
Fr. Ricardo Campos will be at both English and
Spanish masses this weekend to thank the parish for its $15,000
donation to Casa De La Esperanza which was coordinated by the
parish's Hispanic Council as part of the 2009-10 Parish Cultural
Outreach project which focused on Mexico and its culture.
July 24-25 - MARYKNOLL LAY MISSIONERS TO VISIT
PARISH
In 1985, Sam Stanton, along with his wife,
Cecilia, and their three children, joined Maryknoll Lay Missioners
and served in rural Chile for over 19 years. While in Chile, they
joined a Maryknoll pastoral team that attended to the pastoral
needs of three rural parishes in the southern diocese of Linares.
Sam is currently the Executive Director for Maryknoll Lay
Missioners. Fr. Bill Vos is a diocesan priest from the diocese of
St. Cloud, Minnesota, who was on loan to serve with the Maryknoll
Lay Missioners. He spent 19 years in East Africa with the
Maryknoll Lay Missioners. During his time in mission he also
served as Africa Regional Coordinator for the Maryknoll Lay
Missioners. On returning to his diocese, he was appointed Director
of the Diocesan Mission Office and Diocesan Director of Catholic
Relief Services. He remains very involved with the Maryknoll Lay
Missioners, currently serving as Chairperson of the Board of
Directors. Sam Stanton and Fr. Bill Vos will speak at all Masses
on July 24-25 to share their experiences of mission life on behalf
of the Missionary Cooperation Plan. A second collection will be
taken to support their work. Your kind welcome and generous
support are appreciated. Maryknoll Lay Missioners is a Catholic
organization inspired by the mission of Jesus to live and work
with poor communities in Africa, Asia, and the Americas,
responding to basic needs and helping to create a more just and
compassionate world. To learn more, visit
