St. Joseph s Hanging of the Greens Please mark your calendar for St. Joseph s annual Hanging of the Greens.

An appreciation BBQ luncheon will be served at 11:45 a.m. for all who help. Let us prefer nothing to Christ for He has preferred nothing to us. St. Joseph Church Parking Lot Update - We are nearing completion of the parking lot update. We removed 18,000 square feet of blacktop, leveled the surfaces and poured/finished 272 cubic yards of concrete. We added handicap sidewalk ramps, adding an acorn pole light for the sidewalk/parking lot handicap ramp, stripped parking spaces, and connecting the elevator sump pump to the rectory generator. With the completion of the pole light & sump pump wiring the total cost will be $79,900+. Our contractors & suppliers provided us with $13,500 of discounts. Thanks to these contractors & suppliers for excellent and timely work, along with very generous contributions to this project. Thanks to generous donations by parishioners the past two years our building fund as of Oct. 31, 2016 had $60,000 deposited, which will pay for all but $6,400 of the entire project. If any organizations or parishioners would like to make donations to this project in the month of November, it would save our parish from using any of our $19,800 reserve funds to finish paying the $6,400 and would be greatly appreciated. $79,900 - Estimated TOTAL Cost $13,500 Discounts from Suppliers $66,400 Parish Costs $60,000 Bldg.
