The group meets on the first Monday of each month and is in need of new members. The Prison Ministry assists in liturgies and plans weekend retreats for inmates. Events involve witness talks with inmate participation, songs, and sharing. Follow-ups include returning for Mass to check up on inmates' progress and to promote the Spirit. Ministry members are in teams serving five prisons.
Members work on two retreat programs a year.
We meet Wednesday's from 9-12 and work on banners for the church, a large quilt to raffle, and smaller quilts for a baby shower for unwed mothers. Catholics who are not instructed in the faith and have not received all the sacraments of initiation are welcome to join us. Our commitment is to see to the needs of the poor, not only in our parish, but in the community. We furnish new sneakers to children every August, and food and gifts at Christmas. On the first Sunday of every month, the welcoming table is set up and manned in Holy Family Hall to welcome parishioners who wish to join the parish and current members who want to find out what activities are available at St. Joseph's Youth Choir Karen Wentworth Youth Choir sings at one mass a month from October through June.
