All classes have concluded for this catechetical year.

Attention Catechists Grades 1 – 8: If you have not already done so, all student evaluations should be turned in to the office at your earliest convenience.

24 HOUR ADORATION

Eighth Graders move up to lifeteen!
Each spring we welcome next year's high school freshmen into LifeTeen. It doesn't matter what school you are now in - if you are going to be in 9th grade next fall, you're welcome to join us now!!! So come to LifeTeen Mass, and join us for a LifeNight and jump into the fun!

feed our teens - parents can you help?
Mrs. Susan Matthews, one of our parents, generously coordinates the preparation of the meals that are served at the end of every LifeNight. Since we ask teens to fast 1 hour prior to Mass, and then have a LifeNight after Mass until 8:00 pm, we try to offer them a light dinner each Sunday. Could you volunteer to prepare one or more meals for our teens this semester? Please see Susan, or phone her at (781) 871-2190. Thanks so much!!!

fundraisers for LifeTeen
Could you donate some of your time and energy to the LifeTeen program? LifeTeen is looking for volunteers to help run fund raising events. If interested please contact Tim Brown at tbrown@hanoverschools.org or (781)878-9440.

Congratulations To Edward Hubbard
Ed is a senior member of LifeTeen and recently received a Skills USA District Gold Medal in Carpentry and is moving on to the state competition. Would you join us with St. Joseph in a prayer of thanksgiving and continued success for Ed?

Director of Religious Education
Mrs. Helen Ulich is our Director of Religious Education (DRE). She is responsible for Sacramental preparation for First Penance, First Holy Communion and Confirmation, as well as the continuing faith education of all students in grades 1-10.

Each Catechetical year presents challenges, one of the most important being the need for volunteer catechists. Help us sustain our year with all our catechists in place. Please call the office if you would consider helping us in this rewarding ministry.
