St. Joseph History, Be A Part of It
St. Joseph Parish will be celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2012. As part of the centennial celebration, the parish is collecting pictures and other artifacts to add to its archives and to use for display.
If you have any old photographs depicting parish and school life, please consider allowing the parish to scan these for the parish archive. Photos may also be displayed during the centennial year or posted in a picture gallery on the parish website. Photos from weddings, baptisms, First Communions, Confirmations, school, social and sports events are just some of the types of photographs that are of interest. Class and team photos are also wanted.
The parish Centennial Committee is also interested in collecting artifacts related to parish and school life. Old sports uniforms, trophies, ribbons, framed pictures, diplomas and other three-dimensional material relating to the church and school are of interest for display.
If you have items or photos you would like to share, please contact Jim Wright at 708-957-0640 or by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Include your name, phone number and address so the photos can be returned. Please provide as much information about the photo as possible (who, what, when and where).
