What is Stewardship?  “Stewardship” is a disciple’s response to what God asks.  We have all been given so many gifts and blessings by God.  He now asks us to share those gifts with others for the benefit of His kingdom!  These gifts include our time, talent and treasure. 
 
As a committed disciple of Jesus Christ, we make connections between stewardship, evangelization & Catholic social teaching and the challenges that consumerism & materialism are to the Christian steward. 

How to be a good steward….
FOCUS Missionary Team

The Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) is a Catholic collegiate outreach whose mission is to share the hope and joy of the gospel with college and university students, inspiring and equipping them for a lifetime of Christ-centered evangelization, discipleship and friendships in which they lead others to do the same. 

St. Joseph parish's assessment balance is $4000.00 toward the expenses of the FOCUS team that is ministering to the Mesa Catholic students at CMU. 

If you would like to help underwrite some of this expense, please contact Belle in the parish office at 243-0209.  Thank you for your kind generosity. 

A very BIG ‘Thank You’ to Mr. & Mrs. Robert C. Gochee for their generous donation to the FOCUS Missionary Team. 

Would you like to use your time, talent and treasures to help out the St. Joseph parish?  We have some perfect opportunities for parishioners to participate in stewardship for the glory of God.

The parish is in need of volunteers to help out at the Hearts of the Holy Family religious goods store, to be ‘on call’ volunteers at the parish’s front desk (Spanish speaking/bilingual preferred), and to help with funeral dinners. 

Pick your area of interest and contact the parish office at 243-0209 to advise of your availability.  We are so appreciative of your generosity in building up the Kingdom of God .
