Hospitality Commission
The Hospitality Commission of St. Joseph Parish is made up of men and women who strive to make everyone who comes to St. Joseph Church feel welcome, parishioners as well as visitors. We gather together on special occasions, to enjoy fellowship and community with fellow parishioners and guests. The goal of the Hospitality Commission is to serve the parish by providing opportunities to connect outside of the liturgy, by building a true community of faith. Below you will find some of the events sponsored by the commission:
Donut Sunday: Enjoy donuts on the 1st Sunday of each month in the narthex of church while visiting with parishioners and visitors. New members are also welcomed at this time.

Anniversary Brunch: Anyone in the parish that will be celebrating in five-year increments of that year or has been married for more than fifty years is invited to attend the brunch. We feel anniversaries are very special and want to celebrate with our parishioners. It is held in February, the Sunday closest to Valentines Day.
