Every day, more than 2,000 St. Joseph Parish families can come together across our campus. More than 600 students learn, play, pray, and grow through our day school and PSR programs. Our teachers and staff pour their hearts into our children, and our parishioners gather here to worship, celebrate, and build our community. Our church welcomes families for Mass and the sacraments. Our CCC brings our community together. Our playgrounds are filled with children.

This is more than a campus. This is our home. This is our family.

And there is nothing more important than keeping our family safe.

As St. Joseph and our campus has grown, security cameras and systems have been added over the years to help keep our students, faculty, staff, parishioners, and visitors safe. But those systems were installed at different times and are not fully integrated. It is time to bring them together into one integrated security system and expand coverage where it is needed most, including cameras inside the school.

Tonight, we have the opportunity to do something that matters long after the auction is over. Our goal is simple: to know what is happening across our campus and to be better prepared to protect the people we love.

Your Fund A Need gift will help upgrade and integrate security throughout the St. Joseph campus, including the church, CCC, playgrounds, school, and other campus areas.

We cannot predict every situation. But we can prepare. We can be proactive. And together, we can make St. Joseph safer for everyone who calls this community home.

Please consider making a generous Fund A Need gift tonight.
