Tired of the winter and isolation of COVID-19? Ready to get out of the house to go to a joyful gathering with other people? Then don’t forget about the Ring In concert Wednesday, April 28th,  at 7 PM here in St. Joseph Church.

Come and relax to approximately 45 minutes of beautiful hand bell and hand chime music as the Ringers present various selections from this past bell season for your enjoyment. Director Melissa Moreno will offer some insight into the pieces being played and the Shekinah Ringers group itself before the Ringers put their bells away for the summer. The Ring In concert is free and open to all, but please continue to practice social distancing and COVID-19 protocols. (The Ring In concert will be live-streamed on the St. Joseph Church Canton Facebook page, and a recording will be posted there after the event for those unable to be present in person.)

2018-2021 Capital Campaign
Our Faith Our Future.

As our campaign continues and work has begun on the new heating system in the church, as seemingly with all projects, costs will end up exceeding the estimated campaign goal. 

We ask that if you have not yet pledged or given to please do so. If you have fulfilled your pledge we ask you to please consider an increase to your original pledge. Whatever you can give in excess of your original pledge will certainly aid in the unforeseen costs.

Please use the drop down box under NEWS to view our Capital Campaign Brochure explaining the purpose of the campaign,  Announcements and how you can contribute using the Giving Pledge Card. More information can be obtained by calling the rectory office. If St. Joseph Church and school have a special place in your heart, now is your chance to help.
