Books for Local Kids

During October, we are seeking books for kids served by Mobile Loaves Twin Cities. Please bring in new or like-new books, with no religious themes, and leave them in the bins in the Welcome Center and church vestibule every Sunday in October. FFI, email Gabrielle Dane.

News from the SJA Outreach Fund

SJA Outreach Fund Update: The SJA Outreach Fund is a restricted, designated fund, which means that donations must be made separately from donations to the operating budget, and donations to the Outreach Fund are not subject to the 10% archdiocesan assessment. This is one of the things we do: Twice a year, we award Justice Grants to nonprofit organizations in which our parishioners are committed volunteers and leaders. If you volunteer with a great project, pick up an application at the front desk or contact Julie Madden at jmadden@stjoan.com. Our next deadline is Nov. 1, and the process is very simple. In the last fiscal year, we awarded 26 grants totaling $150,000 to support work that matters to you!
