A Message From St. Joseph Church

ANY student that would like to participate in the Children's Live Nativity at 4:00 p.m. Christmas Eve Mass should contact :

St. Joseph Church Office at 985-386-3749.

TITHING REMINDER!

If the parent is a registered, financially supporting member of St. Joseph Catholic Parish, a tuition benefit is available to that parent. To qualify for tuition as a financially supporting parishioner, a family’s weekly contribution to St. Joseph Church should be a minimum of $8.00/week ($416 annually). These contributions are to be made in full by December 31, 2020. Contributions made after December 31, 2020 will not count toward tithing for 2020 and tuition rates will not be adjusted for the next school year (2021-2022). Regular use of the Sunday envelope is necessary as a sign of financial support of the Church.

“Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:13
