Witness Weekly: 300 Ways We Change the World

Get Involved and Change the World

I have been a member of Sts. Joe and Paul for nearly four years now. Barbara, my wife of three years, has been a member for several years. We both lost our spouses to cancer and were fortunate enough to meet through a bereavement group that we still participate in. I have been to several parishes in my lifetime but when I first walked through the doors of this church I was taken aback by the hospitality ministry (which is still very much alive)! It is almost mind blowing to see the spirit of this community of believers through volunteerism and the numerous ministries being performed. This is how I have always believed our church should be. WE are the church, not just the priests or our staff but all of us as one community of believers. We are proud to be members of this faith community.  I have often heard over the years from others “I just don’t get anything out of going to church or Mass”. I have a question, what is your involvement? I have been blessed to be a part of the Catholic faith my entire life and can say that I am proud to be a Catholic today.  I totally support the 300 Ways We Change the World campaign and I hope you will too.

God Bless All,
Tom Calhoun
