SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 - CONFIRMATION PROGRAM GROUP ACTIVITY
THE 4TH ANNUAL PARISH FAMILY PICNIC
As Catholics, our faith is both of a personal nature and a faith in and of community. As we continue the journey of our faith formation it is important that we become active participants in the community life of the Church. Here at St. Joseph Parish, we strive to have all formation awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church as well as the parish community. As the young people of today's church, your part in the community life of the parish is vital. This is your parish and we are your community.
Your role as young parishioners of St. Joseph Parish is important in contributing to the overall spirit and life of St. Joseph Parish, by supporting parish wide events, inviting, encouraging and assisting other young parishioners to feel and be a part of the parish community.
Our Annual Parish Family Picnic is one of those avenues where you can feel you belong to a parish community in a relax family setting. During the picnic, you will be asked to play an active role in various events and help in some committees.
Please plan to arrive at 1pm and stay until the end of the event. You are also expected to invite a friend (a friend who is not in the confirmation preparation program) to come to the picnic. It is also encouraged if you could order and wear this year’s Picnic T-Shirt.
