St. Joseph Parish Volunteer Day - March 9
Public -by Don Kremer

This is our 2nd annual St. Joseph Parish Volunteer Day. We have 13 projects to choose from, or you can just let us choose one for you. On the list below, click on the name of the project for a description. When you sign up, please enter how many people from your family or group will be attending (even if it is only you!).

We will begin the volunteer day with free t-shirts (while the supplies last) and free breakfast 7 - 8 am at St. Joseph's cafeteria by the great Ron Gatto and friends.

Last year we had 140 volunteers; it was a wonderful success. This year, we are shooting for 200 volunteers. Help us make this another success, showing our Christian love for our brothers and sisters in the Conway area.
