Third Sunday of Advent

by Fr. Boniface Endorf, OP

Dear St. Joseph Parish Family,

Below is our annual financial summary for the parish. These numbers include operating income and expenses, not capital expenses or one-time gifts that cannot be predicted. We’re running within our means, but it’s tight. The main change has been inflation: all our costs have dramatically increased for supplies, utilities, and contractors (plumbers, etc.). 

Thank you for your support of St. Joseph’s—without your generosity our parish could not operate. Your gifts help us spread the Gospel to the West Village and beyond. Our attendance is up at our masses and ministries, in some cases dramatically up. Thank you for making all that possible! Many people’s lives have been changed through encountering Jesus Christ at St. Joseph’s. You play a key role in that because without your support and prayers St. Joe’s would not be able to continue. 

God Bless,
Fr. Boniface
