As of April 1, 2019, the Women's Auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus is known as the Sisterhood of St. Joseph Church. The purpose of this group is to develop sisterhood as a philosophy of life and to promote unity, friendship, and charity. They hold fund raisers to help the less fortunate in our area and give back to our parish community. Their motto, is “we make money to give it away.”

Members gather the second Monday in May and October to pray the Rosary together beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the church (their regular meeting follows). All are welcome.
The month of May is a special time for us Catholics to pay homage to our Blessed Mother Mary. The month of May as a Marian month was further affirmed by Mary’s first apparition at Fatima (May 13, 1917). October is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary since the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on October 7.
