What’s on your mind, or in your heart?  What else is going on? What kind of person do you want to be, with what kind of life?  How is your relationship with Jesus?  Where do you need the most grace and mercy?  How can we pray for each other and grow in faith together? 

Sycamore is a great place to start.  We will have a Sunday Sycamore group starting soon from 1:00—3:00 pm in the Community Room.   There will also be a Thursday night Sycamore from 6:00—8:00 pm starting on September 15 in the Community Room.
 
Come join us in our call to make Missionary Disciples!  And, if you’ve already been through Sycamore and would like to come back with a friend or two – all are welcome! 

Call Teresa at the parish office (970) 2243-0209 ext. 209

What is Stewardship?  “Stewardship” is a disciple’s response to what God asks.  We have all been given so many gifts and blessings by God.  He now asks us to share those gifts with others for the benefit of His kingdom!  These gifts include our time, talent and treasure. 
 
As a committed disciple of Jesus Christ, we make connections between stewardship, evangelization & Catholic social teaching and the challenges that consumerism & materialism are to the Christian steward. 

How to be a good steward….
FOCUS Missionary Team

The Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) is a Catholic collegiate outreach whose mission is to share the hope and joy of the gospel with college and university students, inspiring and equipping them for a lifetime of Christ-centered evangelization, discipleship and friendships in which they lead others to do the same. 

St. Joseph parish's assessment balance is $4000.00 toward the expenses of the FOCUS team that is ministering to the Mesa Catholic students at CMU. 

If you would like to help underwrite some of this expense, please contact Belle in the parish office at 243-0209.  Thank you for your kind generosity. 

A very BIG ‘Thank You’ to Mr. & Mrs. Robert C. Gochee for their generous donation to the FOCUS Missionary Team.
