St. Joseph's Prayer Committee
The Prayer Committee was founded to spiritually support the church's leadership, ministries, and prayer projects through consistent faith-filled prayer, seeking God's guidance for all decisions, events, and people we serve.
We are committed to praying for the ill, homebound, and those facing struggles; for the entire church body, our community, and the world; and for love, compassion, wisdom, and unity ensuring that our prayers align with God's will and purpose.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus of you.
—1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

The Prayer Ribbon Installation or Prayer Fence has been growing; that is because this project is overseen by the Prayer Committee and ribbons have been added for the following:
-
October: in support of Breast Cancer awareness, for petitions from the newly diagnosed, and in thanksgiving from survivors.
-
November: To commemorate All Saints/All Souls, white ribbons were written with the names of the departed and prayers for those who have passed, almost 700 names.
-
December: We are in the process of tying ribbons with prayers for Advent and will follow through with Christmas prayer ribbons
-
If you would like us to add prayers to the fence, please contact Shirley Jones or another member of the committee
