Trail Life Fall 2022 Fundraiser -- Salsa Sale

St. Joseph's Trail Life Troop 1890 is holding their annual salsa fundraiser.  We’re growing with 15+ new boys joining our troop this year and so we need help paying for uniforms, handbooks, badges, camping gear, activity fees, and other items.  Trailmen will be available after all masses on Sunday, September 11 and 18 selling Little Diablo Salsa to raise money for our troop.  There are seven different flavors of salsa to choose from and each jar is $6.00.  Money is due upon order and salsa will be available for pickup here at the church by the third Sunday of October.  Thank you for your continuing support and prayers.  Questions? Please contact us!


Trail Life is a great faith-based program for boys, K-12th grade, with lots of outdoor activities. It is a Church-based, Christ-centered, boy-focused mentoring and discipleship journey that speaks to the heart of a boy. Established on timeless values derived from the Bible and set in the context of outdoor adventure, boys are engaged in a troop setting by male mentors where they are challenged to grow in character, understand their purpose, serve their community, and develop practical leadership skills to carry out the mission for which they were created. Trail Life is parent-run, and we welcome parents, especially dads and grandfathers, to be part of this opportunity. Boys need adults to help them grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. For more information about Trail Life click here.
