Lenten Mission 2012

Lenten Mission: A Lenten Pilgrimage with Jesus

Find your "holy place" this Lent by joining St. Joseph on the Rio Grande for our annual mission from March 12 - March 15, 2012. Focus on the meaning of Lent and find that special place for yourself. All parishioners, families and friends are invited.

Feed the Hungry

Let’s feed the multitudes as Jesus did! The Loaves & Fish Ministry will be resuming its collection of non-perishable foods for the less fortunate starting December 31. We ask that each parishioner bring one non-perishable food item per week. For the months of January through March the Ministry suggests the following items: Rice, Beans and Cereal. The non-perishable foods can be placed in the blue bins marked with the Loaves & Fish symbols.

Friday Family Rosary

The Friday Family Rosary is hosted by the Knights of Columbus. It will be a recurring event on the second Friday of each month. Each month will have a different theme. Please join us.

Make Room

Our church was built to be inclusive for all parishioners. Please leave the pews with indented spaces for those with canes, wheel chairs or walkers so that persons with disabilities and their companions may join us in prayer and worship. Let's make room for all at God's table.

Prayer Quilt & Shawl

Feel God's Healing Love and Comfort Wrap Around You

The Prayer Quilt and Shawl Ministry reaches out to those who are in need of comfort while going through a difficult time. Through the prayers of the parishioners of St. Joseph on the Rio Grande, recipients of these quilts or shawls will feel God's love and comfort as well as our love and concern. St. Joseph on the Rio Grande parishioners, who are members of the Prayer Quilt and Shawl Ministry create one of a kind quilts and shawls for the many times of our life. The maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient of quilts or shawls.

There are many different reasons you may want to give a quilt or shawl. For example, they can be made for those undergoing medical procedures; as a comfort after a loss or in times of stress; during bereavement; prayer or meditation; leading ritual; during an illness and recovery; or ministering to others.
