As we find ourselves halfway through summer, let’s make the most of these sun-filled days and memorable nights together. This month, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Fr. Anthony, who has faithfully served our Parish for the past five years. His presence and leadership have left an enduring mark on Saint Joseph MSJ, and we are deeply grateful for his dedication. We send him off with our prayers and best wishes as he embarks on new studies and future roles in our Diocese and Priestly Ministry.

With every goodbye comes a new beginning—we’re excited to welcome Fr. Thi to our Parish community. We look forward to journeying with him as he shares his vision and helps deepen our spiritual path. To help us get to know him better, we’ll be hosting a Men’s BBQ this August, where parishioners can connect with Fr. Thi and hear about his hopes and plans for our Parish—and the role of men within it.

Our August Fellowship Night will be held on Monday, August 5th at 7:00 PM in the Parish Hall. We warmly invite all men of the Parish to join us. Looking ahead, our September Fellowship Night will take place on Monday, September 2nd at 7:00 PM, featuring an engaging presentation—and possibly some hands-on exploration—of e-bikes. If you’ve been curious about them or considering a purchase, this will be a can’t-miss evening.

In September, we’ll also attend Mass together as a group—stay tuned for more details.

I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming Fellowship Nights and the many special moments we’ll share in the months ahead!
