Fr Jim’s Jottings
Dear Friends, we are moving forward with our “one by One” Capital Campaign. This weekend we are inviting you to “tell your story” about your relationship with St Joe’s. Thanks to those who were willing to stand before us at Mass and share their story.
These stories are encouraging as we hear what fellow parishioners think of St Joe’s. Some folks have been here for many years and lived a lot of our history. Others have joined us recently and found their faith to be nourished by all that goes on here. Hopefully, you will tell us your story of how you became a member here and what you like about St Joe’s. By no means are we “perfect”, but we do have a lot to be proud of and grateful for. Here is one of our stories: LANGMAN/FILZ FAMILY STORY My St. Joseph family story begins in the 1920’s with my maternal grandparents, Charles and Mary Langman. Their oldest daughter, my mom, Doris Langman, was a life-long member of St. Joseph Parish. Mom attended the original St. Joseph School and was the captain of the 1939 8th grade girls basketball team. My dad, Marvin “Phat” Filz became a member upon marrying mom right here at St. Joe’s in 1947. Seventy years later, they celebrated their milestone wedding anniversary in the church they held so dear, just six months before they both passed away. Throughout this time span, the warmth, support and love our family received from the St. Joe’s congregation will forever be etched in our memories. The pictures attached are from that special June 2017 Mass with Fr. Jim. Both my sister, Debbie and I attended the “new” St. Joseph School. It is there that I met my future husband, Tom Thiel, in the first grade. Because St. Joseph Parish has been a part of my family history for generations, I cannot possibly imagine belonging anywhere else. This beautiful, holy place and people is home for us. St. Joe’s always has been and always will continue to be an integral, central, and important part of our lives! Becky Filz Thiel ++++++++ Our Capital Campaign Committee has been meeting weekly. We are contacting parishioners and talking about the importance of the campaign for St Joe’s and the Diocese. We are asking for whatever financial commitment you can make. I am impressed by the overall response from those we have contacted. Over the next few months, every parishioner will be invited to help us. I want you to know that whatever you can do is greatly appreciated. If you receive a packet or letter from Bishop Ricken, it may have a suggested amount for your gift. That is a suggestion for your consideration. You are under no obligation. Do whatever you and our Lord think you can do, okay? Thank you again for being with us at St Joe’s. We are blessed.
