St. Joseph Altar

St. Joseph will host a St. Joseph's Altar this year. This is a very large endeavor and we will need every class to help us accomplish this task. We are asking each grade level to help us as we purchase and prepare different items for the altar such as cookies, cakes, bread, greenery, and a spaghetti dinner. We are asking for a monetary donation of $3 from each student. Our Crusaders Dads will construct the altar. Please watch the newsletter for the dates and items needed for constructing the altar. They will need LOTS of help.

The altar will be complete and blessed on Saturday, March 17th, after 5:00 p.m. mass. We will serve a spaghetti dinner to our school and church parish on Sunday, March 18th.

For more detailed information please see the attached letter.
