STEWARDSHIP

Living Stewardship “But rather, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend without expecting anything back.” (LUKE 6:35) Easier said than done, right? But, if we are to imitate Christ, most of us need to practice mercy and compassion more frequently. Start with the little daily annoyances that we experience, the unkind word or hateful glance we receive. Instead of plotting revenge on that person, live in Stewardship by saying a quick prayer for that person. Mercy and compassion will put us on the path to holiness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SAINT JOSEPH SOCIETY TAKE-OUT CHICKEN BARBEQUE

MARCH 17TH FROM 11 AM TO 3 PM

This men’s organization, the oldest society of our parish, was founded on April 17, 1910. St. Joseph was a carpenter, and so to honor him, we carry on his tradition of volunteering time, talents & labor in an effort to improve

& beautify our buildings & grounds. Past projects have included the building of the chicken barbeque pit, pump house, farmers produce stand,

band stand, painting, maintaining & improving our grotto, large & small repairs to the buildings, halls & grounds.

Members meet monthly, & volunteer when their schedules permit. If you are interested in learning more about the St. Joseph Society, or to join,

contribute your talents, etc., contact the Parish office at 856-691-7526 or contact Paul at 856-327-0524.
