#iGiveCatholic ~ Giving Tuesday 2020
-
#iGiveCatholic is the official Catholic initiative of Giving Tuesday, which is a national day of observance for making gifts to nonprofit organizations. Giving Tuesday is observed every year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which in 2020 is December 1.
Thanks to the Catholic Extension Society, our diocese received a grant to participate in this program along with nearly 40 other Catholic dioceses across the country.
St. Joseph’s will be participating with the goal of funding our Parking Lot and Driveway Paving Project. The last time our parking lot and drives were paved was back in 1996 thanks to a cell tower agreement.
St. Joseph Parish is host to not only church services, religious education, and numerous parish ministries and organizations but it also serves the community by offering spaces for various meetings, activities and events, rental spaces, sporting practices and games, and, of course, the annual Ox Roast Fair. All of this activity, Mother Nature, and the ravages of time have taken a toll on the pavement throughout the property.

Did You Hear?
On September 15, 2020, Fr. James-Peter Trares, OP moved to Rome to begin studies in October at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (commonly known as "the Angelicum")! He'll be pursuing a Doctorate in Spirituality, which should take about four years, after which he'll be qualified to teach full time, to work in seminaries, to do spiritual counseling, and assist with the formation of the order's younger brothers. Since his priesthood ordination on May 20, 2017 (Dominican Friars Province of St. Albert the Great), he was assigned as a campus minister and theology professor at the University of St. Thomas based in the twin cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, MN. We congratulate him and wish him well in his new adventure.

Meetings and Event Planning
The Parish Community of St. Joseph is a very busy place with dozens of groups using the facilities year round. Please check with the Parish Office to confirm a date whenever you are planning a meeting, event, fundraiser, etc. Don’t assume that a space or date is available before you check the master calendar through the Parish Office staff (330-274-2253 or ktrares@stjosephmantua.com). They should always know what is going on throughout the buildings and on the grounds not only for organizational purposes but also for safety and security concerns. As pastor, Fr. Ed has final approval on everything. He should be contacted in person or by phone, 330-575-9105 (not by text or email please). We also take pride in accurately publicizing the many activities in the bulletin and on the parish website and Facebook pages. We appreciate your assistance in help to keep the parish running smoothly and efficiently by following good rules of communication: clear, concise, complete, correct, and courteous.
