Parishioners of Our Lady of Joy! Do you understand what God is accomplishing with your cooperation? It is amazing.

Currently, we have many Catholics returning to our parish through your welcoming spirit and the multitude of ministries your volunteerism, financial contributions, and prayers continue to support!

The preschool, children’s catechesis, youth ministry programs, and adult faith formation programs are flourishing!

Organizations like Knights of Columbus are raising money to help worthy causes and powerful parish events—like largely subsidizing our parish bringing in nationally-recognized speakers for our next two parish missions!

And, my friends, this is just the beginning...

My wife and I visit our neighborhood frozen yogurt shop a bit too often. The owner overheard our conversation about Mass. She had just moved here and was Catholic, as well. She admitted she hadn’t attended Mass since the move. We told her what Mass we regularly attend and described where we tend to sit. We promised we’d save a seat for her in our pew—if she happened to show up. She brought her husband and they’ve joined us every Sunday in the weeks that followed. We weren’t ashamed to talk about our Faith in public and we extended an invitation. God did the rest.

I ask you to say a prayer. Ask God to put you in position to invite someone home. To invite someone to Our Lady of Joy.
