Outreach Ministry has been formed at St. Joseph to assist sick, elderly, disabled, or homebound parishioners or their
families who are in need of visits, calls, cards, meals, or transportation. If you or a family member are in need of one of
these services, please contact ARLENE REDEKER at 475-3414. If you are able to provide one of these services (visit, send
cards, make calls, provide a meal or ride), also call Arlene. We would also like to send birthday cards to parishioners and
community members who are 80 or over, widowed, in a nursing facility, or homebound. If you know of someone that might
enjoy a card, please call KAREN HAYES at 475-3327 and give her their name, birthday, and address. THANKS for your help
in getting our ministry started!
