Dear Parishioners,
I would like to thank Rick Jones and Chris Fitzgerald, our
custodians, St. Stephen’s Altar Society, and all those who
came to help decorate our churches for our Christmas
celebrations. Our churches looked beautiful.
Thank you to all the parishioners who sent cards, “goodies”
and gifts during the Christmas season. Please let me take this
opportunity to say a sincere “Thank You” to each and
everyone of you.
A special thank you to Pat Barnett and all who helped to
make the Children’s Christmas Pageant such an enjoyable
presentation. Thank you to the choir for their beautiful
Christmas carols under the talented direction of our choir
director and organist, Tom and Cheryl Castilano.
With thanks and prayers to all,
Father Greg
St. Joseph’s Craft Show & Bake Sale was our best one
