As Christians, our faith provides a perspective that enables us to see our bounty as a gift from God. Thanksgiving is a holiday traditionally celebrated with a large dinner shared among family and friends. In 1992 St. Joseph the Worker began our own tradition of sharing with all the parishioners the opportunity to come together as a Parish family to celebrate a Harvest Dinner. The dinner is held annually usually the first weekend in November following the Saturday evening liturgy. The parish provides the meat and those attending are asked to consider bringing a favorite dish. Sign up sheets are provided ahead of time to indicate your willingness to come, what you might bring and how you can help.

All parishioners are invited and encouraged to participate so that as a Parish Family we can celebrate with grateful hearts God’s abundant love.

St. Joseph the Worker’s Mission statement reminds us that while life has challenges, most pointedly life is a gift. We walk with Jesus and with one another cherishing the gift and sharing our lives.
