Fr Jim’s Jottings
Friends, as part of our Capital Campaign “one by One”, we are inviting St Joe’s parishioners to share a story of how and why they have joined our parish. Some of those stories are now posted on the bulletin board in the Great Hall. In reading these stories, it’s encouraging to read what people find here at St Joe’s. We are truly a blessed parish.
Below are a few: Bernard/Mary Stern Family Our family moved to Appleton in 1981 and it was then that we found St. Joseph’s Parish and have called it our “spiritual” home ever since where we could grow in our faith with the help of the Capuchin’s who are serving this parish. Through the years we have found St. Joseph’s Parish to have some beautiful and needed ministries that we could be involved in such as helping the poor and the homeless, the Prayer Shawl Ministry for those who need the comfort of warmth and prayers from our hand knitted and crocheted shawls and also providing the service of funeral lunches for family and friends who are grieving over the loss of a loved one. It is through this contact here at St. Joseph’s Parish that has helped us come to know our God more and grow in our faith. My desire is to help St. Joseph’s Parish to continue to grow and help others in their grow in their faith. Ron & Karin Posdal Family Ron and I formally joined St. Joe's Parish around 1994. We had been members of another Appleton parish that did not provide the spiritual nourishment we needed. We found in St. Joe's the home we were looking for spiritually and emotionally. We found it to be warm, welcoming and diverse. That was important to us -- a spiritual home for all. St. Joe's Franciscan spirit was and is prevalent in all it does. Helping others is ongoing at St. Joe's through the Food Pantry, Leaven, Habitat for Humanity, and the Warming Shelter. There are many volunteer opportunities for parishioners to partake in. Ron and I both sing in the choir and I am Eucharistic minister. We hope and pray that the Capuchins will remain here for years to come. Julie Lillge Family My bond with St. Joseph's Parish began when my great, great grandparents immigrated to Appleton in the late 1860's. Five generations of my family have been active members here, have been ministered to through baptisms, weddings and funerals, our faith nourished here and a great education was provided here at St. Joseph's. I am currently involved in Mass Ministries, serve on the Welcoming Committee and the one by One Campaign. My love for this parish is truly immense and I want to ensure the ministries of St. Joseph's continues, that it grows, thrives, serves and nourishes the faith of our community, many more families and generations to come. May God always bless St. Joseph's Parish and it's families. Prayer of the Week for one by One CC: Dear God, let me never forget the tremendous gifts you have given me. In embracing Reaching In, Reaching Out, Reaching God, grant that I can Reach In and find the spiritual motivation to Reach Out and create a spark and inspire my family, my church, and my community that together, not alone, we can Reach God.
