St. Paul Street Evangelization
Hey everyone! My name is Kyle Bell. I wanted to tell you all about a ministry that I started here at St. Joseph's. The ministry is called St. Paul Street Evangelization. The goal of St. Paul Street Evangelization (SPSE) is to reach out to our community by setting up little booths with resources such as pamphlets on Mother Mary, the Eucharist, abortion and why abortion is wrong, and more. The team members sit in the booths at events like fairs or parades, or on busy streets in bigger places like New York or Chicago and what not. When someone comes up and has a question, the team members will offer their best answers, offer prayers, and ask if the person asking the question has any specific intentions they would like prayed for. Basically, SPSE tries to evangelize by working its way directly into the hearts of people who come to the booth, whether they are fallen-away Catholics, Protestants, Mormons, or atheists.
Our goal in the Elko chapter of SPSE is slightly different. Of course, our main goal is to spread the love of Christ throughout our community, but because there aren't many people who walk around town, and we don't have as many public events where setting up booths is normal, we are taking a different approach. Right now, we are working on soup kitchens being put on weekly along with occasional food drives and clothing drives to focus on the homeless. We have a Bible study that we are working on in order to focus on young adults and adults who are interested. And we are trying to get together with the senior center to set up occasional visits and lunches with the elderly in those places.
These are just a few of the things we have in mind right now, but we are not focusing on
one group of people. We want to reach everyone from the youngest of us to the oldest of
us, because we are all one community in Christ, and the world needs Him more than ever
right now.
If anyone is interested in helping with this mission for Jesus, please contact me either by
email or by phone. God bless you all, please keep this ministry and all the other beautiful
ministries in this parish in your prayers!

Catholic Services Appeal
C.S.A. UPDATEGoal is $85,118.35 Amount Pledged is $83,905. $1,213.35 still needed to meet goal!Remember, anything over our goal is retained in the Parish. St. Joseph's is planning on a short fall of almost ($50,000) in its proposed 2019-2020 budget and any funds returned from the CSA drive will help reduce this amount. Any lowerdifference between the CSA goal and amount pledged has to be taken from the Parish's Savings to make up the difference.
Please Give, only about 11% of St. Joseph's Parishioners give to the CSA drive each year and most are the same ones who have given yearly. All Parishioners are asked to give whatever they can and any amount they can no matter how small. You can pick up a CSA pledge voucher at the parish office if you do not already have one.
Thank you for your support.
