Prayer to Saint Joseph
Patron of Workers

O Glorious Saint Joseph, you are the pattern of all who work. Obtain for me, please, the grace to work conscientiously and to put devotion to duty before my selfish inclinations. Help me to labor in thankfulness and joy, for it is an honor to employ and to develop by my labor the gifts I have received from almighty God. Grant that I may work in orderliness, peace, moderation and patience without shrinking from weariness and difficulties. I offer my fatigue and perplexities as reparation for sin. I shall work, above all, with a pure intention and with detachment from self, having always before my eyes the hour of death and the accounting which I must then render of time ill-spent, of talents unemployed, of good undone, and of empty pride in success, which is so fatal to the work of God. For Jesus through Mary, all in imitation of you, good Saint Joseph. This shall be my motto in life and in death.

Obtain for me the light to know God's Will, to carry it out faithfully, and to choose the vocation which will lead me to a happy eternity.
Amen.

Welcome to St. Thomas Aquinas's Job Networking Ministry.

Job seeker candidates, you may be experiencing a rough time in your life without meaningful employment. Be certain that this time will pass. We at St. Thomas Aquinas Job Ministry want to help you find your next employment. We are blessed with many parishioners that want to help by sharing their experience in a similar situation or by introducing you to someone they know in your profession or future profession. This process of telling your story of who you are and what you're looking for is called networking. Over 75% of jobs are filled by an individual networking without a job ad being posted. Networking includes talking to your family members, neighbors, friends, alumni, past business associates and church members. Networking simply stated is using your natural style to build rapport with another in a face to face meeting. Our ministry volunteers will coach you on how to ask for advise and information, how to listen and be objective. During your own networking event, you will have learned and built the confidence to ask for referrals and for the future, keep open the lines of communication with that person.

There are many wonderful and helpful job networking groups in our North Atlanta area that are founded in a Christian belief. We have provided links to some of them and hope you will visit their sites and or their meetings.
