THREE CHANCES TO FEEL MORE
LIKE PART OF OUR PARISH COMMUNITY
Have you felt separated from the Saint Joseph Parish Community during this trying time?
Here are three events that will allow you to safely join in our community support efforts and liturgical celebrations!
1. JOIN THE KNIGHTS of COLUMBUS "FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER"
With so many people, even in our own community, experiencing the financial hardships that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, our local food pantries are in even greater need than usual.
The Knights of Columbus (St. Joseph Council #3814) will be holding a FOOD DRIVE on THIS SUNDAY, May 24 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Council Hall (199 River Road, New Milford, NJ). It will be a "CURBSIDE DROP OFF" event of any non-perishable food items you can donate.
Especially Needed Items: COFFEE, FRUIT COCKTAIL, GRATED CHEESE, ICED TEA AND LEMONADE MIXES, BAKED BEANS, JELL-O, PUDDING, INSTANT POTATOES, PANCAKE MIX, PANCAKE SYRUP, BREAD CRUMBS, SALAD DRESSING TISSUES, NAPKINS.
Simply put your donations in a plastic bag and leave it at our curbside, then drive away. The Knights will be on site from afar, wearing masks and gloves, as they collect your donated items.
Cash or checks (made out to Knights of Columbus, Council #3814) will also be gratefully accepted.
2. PICTURE YOURSELF AT MASS AT SAINT JOSEPH CHURCH!
You still have a chance to send your individual or family photo (on an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of copy paper) and have it placed in our pews for our June Sunday Mass celebrations.
DEADLINE has been extended to MAY 31.
Pictures should be mailed to the parish office at 105 Harrison St., New Milford, NJ 07646 or dropped in our locked parish mailbox in front of the rectory. (Please do not ring the bell as the staff is working from home. The box is regularly checked.)
Please only send a copy of your photo. Photo sheets will NOT be returned.
3. ONLINE MASS CONTINUES TO BE BROADCAST on YOUTUBE AND OPTV
