MARCH 19 - ST. JOSEPH, SPOUSE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY FEAST DAY
Join us in the Parish Hall after the Parish Mission for St. Joseph's Table.
St. Joseph's Table has been an Italian Tradition since the Middle Ages. The first celebration was a community "thank you" to St. Joseph for prayers answered. His intercession during a terrible drought in Sicily resulted in a bountiful harvest which was then shared with everyone in the town. Today the annual tradition is celebrated around the world, especially throughout Italy, Spain, Poland, Malta, and the Phillipines.
FRIDAY MASSES AND PRAYERS FOR FALLEN AWAY CATHOLICS
Are there special people in your life who have fallen away from practing the faith? Does the state of the Church or the country weigh heavily on your heart? Join us for 15 minutes after Daily Mass each Friday as we say special prayers for the return of fallen away Catholics, for priests, the Church, and our country. Friday's Rosary's special intention is for the return of all Catholics to the practice of the faith.
Father Soley will celebrate Daily Masses at 9:00 AM on Fridays, January 12 - March 22nd. Join us if you can.
