75th Anniversary

- Come Celebrate 75 Years of Faith and Community at SJTW!
  
  As we joyfully mark the 75th anniversary of St. Joseph the Worker, we invite every parishioner to journey with us on a special Jubilee Pilgrimage throughout the month of May. This is a time to reflect, reconnect, and rejoice in all that God has done through our vibrant parish community.
  
  There are many meaningful ways to take part in this pilgrimage. A special Jubilee Passport will be available both online and in print, filled with 10 unique activities designed to help you grow in faith and celebrate our parish's legacy. Complete any 4 of the activities as a household, and you’ll receive a beautiful, frame-worthy print of our church as a keepsake.
  
  Download the Jubilee Passport and use the Digital Form below to submit your reflections and Pictures.

  We are also gathering memories to enrich our parish archive. If you have photos—digital or printed—of sacramental celebrations at SJTW such as weddings, baptisms, First Eucharist, or confirmations, we’d love to include them. Please share copies with us, along with any available names and dates.
  
  Join us the weekend of May 3–4 for the official Jubilee Pilgrimage Kickoff after all Masses! We’ll unveil a special archive display in Martin Hall and share hospitality together as we begin this sacred journey.
  
  Let’s walk together in gratitude and hope as we celebrate 75 years of faith, love, and service.
