St. Paul writes in his Letter to the Corinthians: "There are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit." God has placed here at St. Joseph Co-Cathedral Catholic Church Parish people who are gifted with talents that are needed by our entire community. No talent is greater than the other, and all are necessary for the continued growth and nurture of this intentionally-formed family of God here in Thibodaux. We welcome all who are members of St. Joseph to volunteer for ministry. Because all of the gifts are needed, we need you to share your God-given gifts with all of us. Without your gifts we are incomplete.
