Council 1748 of St. Joseph Church in Salem Oregon has found a specific focus in its mission to serve the community of this parish and city. We have found three major areas of interest to our parish council and will promote these three as the banner for our efforts. They are:
-Support for the tuition assistance program for our parish school. -Support for seminarians from our parishanand surrounding area. -Support for selective “Life” programs and efforts in our community and state.
Although these are the stated focus of this council, there are many additional areas in which we will continue to participate both with financial support as well as personal participation. These other areas include community outreach in life and family issues as well as initiatives that may arise in the course of the year.
