 Come one, come all to the St. Vincent de Paul, Saints Joseph and Francis Xavier Conference Donation Drive, at St. Joseph Church on Saturday August 14, from 10am to 2pm.
Drivers can pull into the St. Joseph Church parking lot from Lake Avenue and our volunteers will take donations and put them into trucks. Please bring bags or boxes of clothing and household goods such as pots and pans, plates, glasses, silverware and small appliances like toasters and blenders. (Sorry, we will not be able to accept furniture at this event.) We especially need baby gear (blankets, toys, clothing, equipment) and toys for young children. Clean out your closets, basements and garages! Help us to help others! Want to volunteer at our Clothing & Household Goods Donation Drive? Got a question? Contact us here to learn more.  Join us for conversations about the fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-discipline. This 10 week series is designed for any person seeking faith formation. All are welcome. No prior academic experience necessary, just an open mind and heart. We meet via zoom once a week, starting June 22. Contact Kevin Pease for more information or to register: kpease@luc.edu Click HERE to see flyer with more information.
 ACTION stands for "As Christ Together in Other's Needs". ACTION is a youth group geared towards teens who are comfortable attending a youth focused Mass (Sunday evenings at 7:30pm) without their parents. ACTION also includes various guest speakers and outings, however, these are currently postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions. Grab'n Go snacks are also suspended.
Ministries are facing a great challenge during this time of uncertainty. One thing that remains certain is that teenagers need to hear the hope of the gospel, be disciples, and experience a strong Christian community. ACTION is a unique and fun way to stay connected with fellow teens from different high schools in the area and grow in faith. For more information about ACTION, click Here. Note that ACTION Masses end on April 25th for the 2020-21 school year and will start up again in September.  PAPER SHREDDING EVENT SPONSORED BY NEW TRIER TOWNSHIP, SAT JUNE 26, 1:30-4PM IN THE ST. JOSEPH CHURCH PARKING LOT (OFF LAKE AVE).
Let’s work together to make New Trier Township green, by recycling unwanted paper at our free shredding event. In order to serve many, township residents can recycle up to (2) small cartons (16.25" x 12.5" x 10.5") or two, medium (8 gallon) trash bags per vehicle. Please remove binders, rubber bands, plastic page protectors, plastic bags, plastic file tabs, CDs and other hard items. Staff and volunteers will wear masks and remove paper from the trunk or hatchback of your vehicle. A professional shredding company will be on-site to shred documents immediately. Please wear a mask so we can continue our fight against the Coronavirus. See flyer HERE.  With gratitude to the many who have helped our Parish during these challenging times and to all in our parish families, we wish you Easter Joy and a healthy and happy springtime!
