The Oktoberfest Fundraiser (supporting St. Joseph Catholic Academy) was a huge success! We join the academy in thanking all the event's sponsors, friends and volunteers, who helped make this night so special. We'll share what the event raised when the final number is tallied! Keep an eye on the weekend bulletins!

Last night Father Pompeyo snagged us a few "teaser" pictures of the setup for St. Joseph Catholic Academy's Oktoberfest fundraiser. It looks amazing, as per usual - kudos to all the SJCA staff and volunteers who worked so hard to make it look so great! 👏 We can't wait to see it in person! 🍺🍖

Don't forget - St. Joseph Catholic Academy's OKTOBERFEST fundraiser is happening this Saturday! We hope you got your ticket early because they are COMPLETELY SOLD OUT. No tickets will be sold at the door this year because there are none left to sell.

That said, even if you missed the chance to buy a ticket - you can still participate in their silent auction, which is LIVE NOW! https://tinyurl.com/SJCA-auction26

Every dollar raised supports our own historic St. Joseph Catholic Academy (established 1893). St. Joseph Academy is one of the significant parts of our own Parish mission. Supporting this school supports the future of the Catholic faith in Southern Missouri.

Thank you to everyone who has already bought at ticket, and to all of you who have supported this school with both your donations and your prayers.
