What’s the Big Deal?

The St. Joseph Bazaar is an annual event that began in 1930. It raises money for the church, and more importantly it gathers parishioners together for a time of fun, food, crafts and fellowship.

The Bazaar is the major fundraising program in our Parish. Plan to get involved with us in this time of service and fun.

Who to Contact

It’s never too late to join the fun! If you can help in any way, the whole Parish will benefit from your contribution. To get involved, please contact:

• Sue Kovars in the Parish Office at 347-6108.
