A NOTE FROM FR. RAY
There are times when people like to make donations with the possibility of winning something. The Little Sisters of the Poor are having a huge raffle with chances of winning from $1,000.00 to 50,000.00. The tickets are $100.00 each. Tickets can even be purchased by using Visa or MasterCard by calling 812-464-3607. I already have my ticket.
St. Joseph Church continues to benefit from the many bequests made by parishioners, whether through the Catholic Foundation of Southwestern Indiana or the Dubois County Community Foundation. When you are making out your will why not consider a gift to St. Joseph that continues to give even after death?
