Embracing Christ's life and reflecting His love.

We have recently added some significant and exciting initiatives this fall:

 

    1. a) CACOYA: [Carroll County Young Adults] at St. Joseph. A group of twenty somethings, and there are about twenty of them (!), which meets at the parish on certain Thursdays for fellowship and formation.  Their next gathering is November 30th at 7 p.m. in the Youth Center.

 

    1. b) Pizza and Play: A gathering of couples and young children who meet in parishioner’s homes one Friday a month. The dynamic involves getting to know and support each other and encouragement in faith.

 

  1. c) The Wild Goose: A monthly gathering on a Thursday evening involving wine, cheese, and a wild goose! This event, held at a parishioner’s home, gathers couples in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s, and progresses through org’s “The Wild Goose” program.

 

The following events for formation and fellowship are coming soon.  If you’re not already involved, please join in.

 

    1. Whiskey, Wine, and Wisdom on Monday nights, December 4th, 11th and 18th. Gather at a parishioner’s home to prepare for Christmas with a little bit of grain, grapes, and Catholic wisdom.

 

    1. Family Religious Education Gatherings: For the second time this December, we will bring families together during one of the usual Religious Education times, so the whole family unit can be involved in the dynamic of sharing faith and being together. These sessions will be held on Sunday, December 3rd, at 9:30 and 11:30 a.m.; on Monday, December  4th, at 4:45 p.m.; and Tuesday, December 5th, at 5:15 p.m.

 

  1. An Advent Morning of Reflection will be hosted for all comers at the church on Saturday, December 9th, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
