St. Joseph Charitable Foundation
The St. Joseph Charitable Foundation was established to help parishioners in need of financial assistance to get them through a difficult time, whether they are in need due to a job loss, under-employment, health issues, or other matters. All registered, active parishioners of St. Joseph Parish are eligible for assistance.
Applications are located on the kiosk in the front entrance of Church, in the rectory or by clicking here. You may also speak directly to Fr. Tim about applying. The process is strictly confidential. Parishioners are eligible to receive up to a $500 grant within a twelve month period.
Tax deductible donations can be made to the Charitable Foundation at any time throughout the year. Please mail your donation to the rectory to Fr. TIm's attention. Thank you.
