A Special Thank You

Photography Club

Please send all pictures and descriptions to [email protected].  Your child, team or group may be featured in the Church bulletin’s weekly Viking Voice or on SJJ’s social media pages!  Let’s show the world what it means to be a Viking!

CLOW

St. Joseph Parish offers Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) is usually held during the 4:30 p.m. Mass twice each month, on the second and fourth Saturdays, during the school year. Children ages 3-7 are invited to join an adult facilitator to hear the proclamation of the Word and engage in activities designed to help them understand the scripture of the day. CLOW begins on Saturday, September 11th.

St. John Neumann will have catechesis of the Good Shepherd for ages 3-5, starting next year.
