Our 4th Annual Service Day will be on Saturday March 22, 2025. It is a day designed for the entire Saint Joseph Parish community to put our Catholic values into action. We have a wonderful team of parish volunteers who have worked with various local organizations and charities to set up Service Day projects, schedules, and sites. Projects are both on and off campus, so watch project descriptions for work locations.
