The Carpenter Society honors the past with gifts to assure the future of our parish and its facilities. A hardworking craftsman, St.  Joseph devoted his life to caring for the Blessed Mother and our Lord Jesus Christ. He allowed God to serve as his guide and never fled from his duty. From St. Joseph’s example, the Carpenter Society invites others to follow by providing assurance of care for St. Joseph parish.
