THANK YOU PARISH FAMILY!
Thank you to our Parish for the gift of a new freezer for our school! Our parish family helped to purchase the new freezer with second collection contributions. It's a great addition to our kitchen and helps our kitchen staff to prepare healthy lunches for our students. Mia Gray, our School Food Service Director had the following to say: "SJCS kitchen staff would like to send a special thanks to Father Kevin and all the parishioners of Saint Joseph Catholic Church for all the help and donations to purchase our brand new freezer!! We are so excited to have it so that we may continue to serve our wonderful students here at Saint Joseph!! Thank you for your generosity."
