Q: What do I wear?
A: Colors and patterns that complement each other; they do not need to be all the same! Vivid prints are colorful and fun; soft colors are perfect too! The background for the family section of the directory will be "Stone." Tip: Keep in mind your clothing choices and how the portrait may look on wall mounted prints.
Q: Where do I get my picture taken?
A: St. Joseph's Parish Center
Q: What is the cost?
A: You receive the photo session, 8x10 print and the Parish directory ALL FOR FREE if you get your picture taken.
A: IF you would like to order additional pictures from our Lifetouch photographer, you will choose the picture(s), background choice, and pay for those during your session (credit and debit cards, cash, and checks accepted). There are many different sizes and packages are available at different costs staring at $30.
A: IF you would like the digital file of all your pictures, the cost is $60 if additional pictures are purchased, or $250 if no additional pictures are purchased.
Q: What if I can't make it to one of the listed sessions?
A: No problem, just click the "Wait List" and we'll schedule another session after the first production of the directory in May of 2020 if we reach 25 participants. You can also contact Lifetouch for other photography locations that may be more convenient for you and they will add your photo to the Parish directory (contact 1-866-756-0281, account #195550). You may also submit a high quality, horizontal 3"x5" or larger, individual or family photo to jwittak@stjosephparish.com or contact Jason for details.

Q: What will my picture be used for?
A: At check-in, you will be asked to provide and/or verify your current contact information as well as sign a photo release to allow St. Joseph Catholic Community to publish your picture in the new Parish directory and other church communications.
Q: Do all Parishioners get their picture taken?
A: YES!!! The Parish directory is a wonderful keepsake for Parishioners to put a name to a face and allows us to know our community better. Father Terry will be first in line - please join him!!!
A: IF you are not a registered member of St. Joseph's Catholic Community and would like to be, please complete the New Member Registration.
Q: How can I help out?
A: We are now in need of volunteers to assist during each photo session to check-in families. Please contact Jason Wittak if you can help!
Q: When will I receive my Parish Directory, 8x10 photo and/or ordered pictures?
A: The free 8x10 photo will arrive 2 weeks after your session and available in the Parish Office for you to pick up. Ordered pictures will be mailed directly to you within 2 weeks. The directory will be available at church after the directory process is complete (approximately Spring of 2020). All great for Christmas cards and a new picture for the family room!
