SCAM ALERT!
Cyber crime has hit St. Joseph and is hitting dioceses nationwide. If/when you receive an email from Fr. Tim requesting you to purchase a gift card or to urgently contact him via email, please delete it! It is a scam! This email scam is also using other priests’ names in the diocese asking for money or gift cards. Parishioners should contact the parish office to verify the legitimacy of any suspicious request they may receive.
