Human Concerns

 
St. Joseph’s Human Concerns group coordinates much of the parish care for those in need.  We meet on the first Thursday of the month from September thru June.  The following is the list of all the activities we are involved in and a brief description of each.
If you are interested in helping in any of these activities, please fill out the form below and return the bottom section in the collection basket during Masses or give the parish office a call at 262-633-8284 and let them know.  Thank you!
