I thank Deacon Hicks Armor for presenting to our parish community concerning the importance of stewardship. Stewardship should transcend the simple giving of money and become a way of life. Therefore, I thank all who give of their time, talent, and treasure for the good of our parish community.
We are currently in the Year of Saint Joseph which will conclude on December 8, 2021. During this year we will continue to pray the Prayer to Saint Joseph after Mass, so please remember to bring the prayer card with you. Wednesday is the day of the week which is traditionally devoted to Saint Joseph. To highlight this the Litany of Saint Joseph and the Seven Sorrows and Joys of Saint Joseph will be prayed following 8:30am Mass.
March 19th is an important date because this is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph. There will be Mass at 7am, 8:30am, and 7pm (Spanish) for this solemnity. To highlight this solemnity our parish will have a Saint Joseph Table in the gathering area from March 19-21. This devotion springs from a drought which brought about famine. Through devotion to St. Jospeh rain fell and the famine came to an end. At the time of harvest a special table was prepared in honor of Saint Joseph on which foods would be placed to share with the poor. Therefore, I invite you to bring food to leave on the table for the poor from March 19-21. Traditionally, what is brought is breads, pastries, and pasta. If bringing something for the table please make sure that it is nonperishable or has a long shelf life. All donations will go to our parish food bank or to a local charity that can use the food.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
