Year of St. Joseph Continues…
Spiritual exercises to conclude and confirm our parish year of St. Joseph
For parishioners interested in deepening their relationship with our patron saint, we will conduct a consecration process, based on the book by Donald H. Calloway, MIC, Consecration to St Joseph, which features 33 preparatory exercises relating to St. Joseph. The journey will culminate in a special Act of Consecration for participants at the end of our parish year, May 1, 2022, which is also the traditional feast of St. Joseph the Worker.
How to participate: come 2x a week between Dec. 29, 2021 and May 1, 2022, roughly every Wednesday and Friday, to participate in the exercises that will be held either before or after the scheduled Mass.
WEDNESDAYS (ENGLISH): midmorning prayer and St. Joseph Consecration exercise after 8:30am Mass.
