From the Handmaids
Dear Parishioners of St. Joseph,
Peace in Christ! We are greatly looking forward to serving again this year in various ways at St. Joe's! We will be helping with the confirmation program, youth ministry, women's ministry, and being present at the school on Wednesday afternoons for classroom visits and prayer enrichment.
As Handmaids, our charism is to live in imitation of Mary, living out the New Evangelization in parishes. We deeply desire to help the Church to be a family and a place of deep faith. We feel so blessed to be able to enter in as spiritual mothers to a place that already has such a familial environment and rich life of faith.It is good to be part of this beautiful parish!

How to Support the Sisters
-
"As part of our poverty as religious sisters, we choose to live off of Divine Providence which means we rely on donations for things like food, toiletries, gas cards etc.
If you’d like to contribute, please drop items at the Parish Center. Please mark the packages 'Handmaids'. There will be a cart in the gathering space for non-perishable items that sisters will pick up on Sundays. You can also drop off groceries at the convent. Please call or text the number below to let us know when you plan to stop by. Thank you so much for your generosity! "
Address: 1142 Summit Ave, St. Paul, MN 55105
Phone: 952.234.1787
