After months (and even years!) of anticipation, Saint Joseph Church and School have officially kicked-off the public phase of the Living Our Faith, Building Our Future Campaign. The campaign aims to fund four priorities in support of the parish's mission of worship, service, and education in the heart of South Bend. To date, over $3.7 million has been raised towards the $4 million goal! To inspire further giving, an anonymous donor has committed to make an additional gift equal to 20% of every pledge made in support of the campaign through May 31. This match also applies to the amount of any pledge increase made by those who have already pledged. Now is the time to make your contribution and support the great things going on at Saint Joseph!

For the Kids Golf Benefit & Cookout
This week (May 6-12) is your last chance to purchase tickets for the annual For the Kids Golf Benefit & Cookout, with proceeds for tuition assistance for Saint Joseph Grade School. No tickets will be sold at the event. The outing is Saturday May 18, 8:30 am at Brookwood Golf Course. Once again, we are featuring both an 18-hole outing for $80 and a 9-hole outing for $40. A cookout lunch buffet will be served immediately following at Brookwood for all golfers, family, friends, and parishioners. Prices for the lunch only are $10 for adults and $8 for children. If you can't make it for golf or lunch, you can participate by making a tax deductible contribution supporting tuition assistance. Hole sponsorships and tickets are available after all Masses, at the Parish Center, and at the school office.
