Fall Yard Sale:

The Women of St. Joseph Yard Sale could use your help.  Yard Sale setup will begin Sept. 28th through Oct. 2nd, from 8:30AM to5:00PM.  The Yard Sale will be Friday, Oct. 3rd, from 8:00AM to 5:00PM and Saturday, Oct. 4th from 8:00AM to 6:00PM. Please contact Joyce at 734-4714 to schedule your time.  The Yard Sale is a huge fundraiser for the Women of St. Joseph. The funds made not only go towards the Parish altar supplies and equipment, but go towards the cost of the new Childrens Wing and Nursery. If everyone in the Parish just gave one hour of service toward this event it would make light work for everyone. Remember, your time counts toward school service hours if you need them.

Prayer Chains

Our Prayer Chains havebeen very busy with prayer requests lately. They have been doing a great job with wonderful results. We want to invite you to be apart of this wonderful stewardship activity in our parish.  We have two types of prayer chains -- phone tree lines and an email prayer line. With the phone tree you geta call with the pray request, phone the request on and then pray for the request.  With the email request you receive an email and you pray for the request.

Would you like to join either of our Prayer Chains?  

If you would like to join the phone tree chain, call the parish office with your name and number.  If youwould like to join the email chain, email me at parish.office@stjoseph-kennewick.org with “prayer chain” in subject line.
