Supported by Fr. Michael and parish director, Dean Rademacher, "twelve" parishioners and staff from St. Joseph's completed a seven-week School of Discipleship program from the Archbishop Flynn Catechetical Institute at the Saint Paul Seminary, February 7 to March 21, 2023.

Our St. Joseph “Twelve” have been busy praying and working together towards the goal of strengthening our church through interactions within small group environments. The Twelve invited 72 and others to join them to carry on this powerful effort within St. Joseph Catholic Community. We pray you all will open your hearts to this process as we expand our circle of active parishioners to support this mission.
