Help us support local students by donating school supplies for the upcoming school year! Donations are being received beginning July 11 in specially marked bins located in the Narthex after each weekend mass.
If you prefer not to shop, monetary donations are also welcome. You may:
· Write a check addressed to “Saint Joseph Catholic Church” with “Backpack Drive” in the memo
· Use the online giving platform and select “Backpack Drive”
· Place cash in an envelope marked “Backpack Drive”
Thank you for your generosity in helping students start the school year prepared and confident!
