February Update from Father Joe
February 10, 2021
Since our return to publicly-celebrated Masses, Father Joe continues to offer his Weekly Pastor's Column in our Sunday bulletin. He also writes a monthly update that is emailed to all registered parishioners. Read Father Joe's February Update here! While bulletins are available at Mass, you can get them through the website (see the left menu) and our mobile app. Let's continue to look after one another and keep each other in our prayers!
St. Joseph, pray for us!

Solemn Annual Eucharistic Exposition
March 12th, 13th, 14th
Mark your calendars for the weekend of March 12th, 13th and 14th for our annual parish wide Eucharistic Exposition and Adoration. Beginning with 7pm Mass on Friday, March 12th and ending with 12 noon Mass Sunday, March 14nd, we will be exposing the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance on the main altar of the church for solemn adoration all weekend long! You are invited to sign-up for a half an hour or an hour time slot, to spend time with Jesus in prayer before the Holy Eucharist. Online sign-ups began February 20th and we will have after Mass sign-ups beginning the weekend of February 27th. We are in need of at least two adorers at every hour of the day and night. If you are unable to commit to a specific time or if the time you wanted is already taken, have no fear! Just stop by the Church anytime during the weekend. Eucharistic adoration is an awesome Lenten practice to meet Jesus in a personal way and to get ready for the great celebration of Easter at the end of March.
