Fall Festival
Part 1 was very successful. Looking forward to Part 2: October 31st & 32nd Fall Festival Pumpkin Decorating Contest! Hey kids! Get your pumpkins carved and/or decorated and bring them to the Great Hall before 4:00 pm Mass on October 30th. We'll put them on display so everyone can see your creative work! Adults attending the 4:00 pm Mass on October 30, we are inviting you to view all the pumpkins and let us know your favorites. A winner will be determined by your votes with "eyeball tokens." Please try to have the pumpkins at church by 3:30 so we have time to register, number, and display them. Voting will take place after Mass until 5:30 pm. The winner will be announced at 6:00 pm. Have you heard of TRUNK or TREAT? St. Joe’s would like to offer this on Saturday, October 30th after the 4 pm Mass in our West Parking Lot. We will mark off six spots and have the first six sponsors set up their treat stand. Would you like to sponsor and arrange a space? Contact the Parish Office at 734-7195 to register your space.

SCRIP Sales
What is SCRIP?
SCRIP is a program where St. Joe’s receives money back from vendors when you purchase Gift Cards.
EXAMPLE: You purchase $100 in Pick N’ Save Gift Cards, St. Joe’s receives a percentage of the purchase price while you receive your $100 in gift cards.
St. Joe's has changed our selling after Mass times to one time a month on the first full weekend, until after the threat of CoVid has receded.
If you would like to purchase, please complete the order form [found on the register in the back of church, in the Parish Office area or on our website and return it to the Parish Office with a check made out to “Xavier Catholic Schools.” We will then place your order and have it for you by Friday of the week following your order being submitted. Please indicate when you would like to pick up your order. Thanks for participating in this great program.
Additional Order Forms will be on the register in the back of church, by the receptionist’s desk in the Parish Office or you can print it from our website.
We do have a small collection of SCRIP cards on hand in the office, if you are interested in picking some Gift Cards up in the Parish Office, call ahead to see if we have them available.
Do you use SCRIP?
SCRIP Gift Cards can be used to purchase items at the businesses. One nice advantage is if you purchase Kohl’s Gift Cards, you can also pay your Kohl’s Credit Card bill. Please consider taking advantage of this program this year.

St. Joseph Food Program
The first full weekend of each month, we collect groceries for St. Joseph Food Program. For more information about the St. Joseph Food Program and how you can help, visit their website: StJoesFoodProgram.org
Contemporary Music Mass
Soul Sabbath will lead our music on the first Sunday of each month at the 10:00 a.m. Mass.
Eucharistic Adoration
First Friday of the Month after 12:05 pm Mass
Bishop David Ricken has asked every Parish in the diocese to schedule a monthly holy hour before the Blessed Sacrament. The Blessed Sacrament will be placed on the altar and there will be prayers, scripture readings, and time for silent reflection.
Holy Hours and Benediction used to be popular devotions in parishes. It has been a while since we've held them at St. Joe's. Presumably, this is the case elsewhere. In bringing back this devotion, we hope many will find this as a means to appreciating the Eucharist and increasing our prayer life.
