CHRISTMAS PARADE 2019
St. Joseph Parish's Christmas Float needs YOU!!!

Calling ALL Angels! Let's Impact this Year's Christmas Parade with the HOPE and JOY
of Jesus! St. Joseph Parish will be having a float in this years Appleton Parade on November 26th. With our theme, A Baby Changes Everything, we are looking for children ages 5 years and up to dress up as angels, (we have costumes) and a few parent chaperones (angel caregivers) to ride on the float. We are also looking for a
real pregnant mom and dad to be Mary and Joseph. We will provide the costuming.
If you or your children would like to ride on the float or if you would like to assist in building the float, please contact Rich Young at ryoung@saintjosephparish.org

Fr Jim’s Jottings
       Friends, we are coming into the critical stage of our “one by One” Catholic Campaign for the Diocese and for St Joe’s. Our Campaign Committee has been meeting and working hard for the past couple of months. We’ve reached the important time when we’re asking for the help of all our parishioners. Over the next month we will have contacted every parishioner asking them to help us with a pledge or one-time gift. I’m presuming that you’ve been thinking about what kind of gift you can afford. When you are contacted, I hope you will help us as best you can.
We’ve already contacted some parishioners. So far they have generously helped us raise $245,000! I hope they will inspire the rest of us to match their commitment to making this campaign a success for St Joe’s. Thank you!

“one by One” Campaign (Penny War)
In a couple of weeks we’re going to begin a “Penny War” among our parishioners. The proceeds of this will go towards our “one by One” Catholic Campaign. Kaden Bleck, our youth representative on the Parish Council, suggested and will oversee this on a weekly basis.
There will be buckets in back of church representing four age groups (Young Pups, Millennials, Gen Xs, & Baby Boomers). You can put pennies or paper money in the bucket for your age group. You can also put silver money in other buckets to reduce their total.
This Penny War will be done throughout Advent. Which age group do you think has all the money? We’ll soon find out.
