Dear Friends of Holy Family

This Web Site is
intended to give you an idea of all that happens, all
that is available, and all that we would like to see
happen to make St. Joseph the Worker a truly vibrant,
Christ-centered parish community.
You can help.
Involvement is important because involvement creates
interest, and interest leads to participation. The
Church is not a place but a people, not a sacred
building but a living and believing assembly.
The
success of a parish is not measured by the number of its
parishioners, but by the enthusiasm, joy and commitment
of its members. When we serve Our Lord joyfully, more
people will want to be a part of us. Most important, to
insure continuity in the years ahead, involvement on the
part of newer and younger parishioners is essential.

None of us, whether we
like to hear it or not, will be here forever; however,
both our eternal salvation and the future of Christ’s
Church on earth depend on what we do today. The Catholic
Church, of which we are proud to be members, is both a
visible assembly and a spiritual community. The Church,
because it is human, experiences the same ups and downs
that humans experience, but because it is divine it
serves as a leaven for human society as it is constantly
renewed in Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit.
Accept the call and
the challenge to be faithful to Jesus and His Church,
confident that God will bless and reward you for all
that you do in Christ’s Name, with the help of His
Blessed Mother, making Him better known and loved
through St. Joseph the Worker Parish. It all depends on
how we cooperate with the grace of God.
