Becoming Catholic In our great faith, Jesus Christ left His church with three Sacraments that help invite or initiate us into full membership.  Baptism comes first as it washes away original sin and welcomes us into the Church as an adopted son or daughter of God. With the next two, the order can flip, but most people who grow up in the faith.....

Thank you for your generosity! As a result of your caring for those who need food assistance, we collected 437 pounds of food but more impressively, we collected $3,133 in donations!

Casimir Tyminski was a member of St Joseph Parish, and upon passing away, left the relatively new Hayward Knights of Columbus, Monsignor Kalandyke Council 6587, a sizable fund for charitable works.  His commitment to this community was commendable and we are honored to administer the gift. With Tyminski's gift, the council committed to build and fund Scholarships for higher education for members from our parishes.
