Mass in honor of Blessed Pope John Paul II TODAY, Wednesday, October 23rd
Msgr. Williams will be celebrating a Mass in
honor of Blessed Pope John Paul II on Wednesday, October 23rd at
7:30PM. There is a glorious
chapter in St. Joseph's history that involves Pope John Paul II. Some of our
parishioners carried our cherished Icon to Rome where the Pope solemnly
consecrated it. An image of Pope John Paul II still hangs near the Icon.
Our church also honors the Divine Mercy which is
conspicuously in the devotional ornamentation of our church. Did not St.
Saustina predict a spark rising out of Poland? We would invite parishioners of
Polish ancestry to honor this great figure of world history and all can benefit
from his intercessions on behalf of the church. Msgr. will give the meditations on the rosary
beginning at 6:55PM. Always faithful,Rhonda Milkovich for
Msgr. Williams

REMINDER - 2013 International Festival of Raleigh - Call for Volunteers
The theme for the 2013 festival is Arts, Music, and Crafts from Around the Globe, and 50+ cultures will exhibit their nation's pivotal moments among the offerings of international dance, music, kids activities, shopping and of course, food from around the world.
It has been a tradition for the Polish-American Club (PAC) of the Triangle to participate in the festival; we have participated every year since the first Festival in 1986. Our involvement includes hosting of a cultural exhibit and a sidewalk café. The Polish sidewalk café will be offering a variety of popular Polish culinary delicacies during the three-day period. In order to provide the expected service for all guests of the festival, we need plenty of volunteers to take shifts at our food booth. No special knowledge or experience is necessary for this rewarding and important task. We truly hope that you will find a couple of hours in your weekend schedule to help. It's fun and rewarding.
To volunteer in staffing the Polish sidewalk café, or cultural booth, please contact Jowita Mikołajczyk by e-mail at jowita.mikolajczyk@gmail.com or by phone, 919-448-5931. Thank you to all those that already signed up (see current schedules below). We are looking forward to hearing from others soon.
