Overflow Seating in Great HallAs the attendance at our weekend Masses increases, we will continue to practice “social distancing” as best we can. To make sure no one is sitting too close to anyone, we have overflow seating in our Great Hall. We can participate in our Mass because of the large TV screen and sound system. A Minister of Eucharist will bring Holy Communion into the Great Hall or you can come into the Church to receive our Lord.

Fr Jim’s Jottings
How are you holding up, dear friends? I hope you are fighting the boredom, depression, anxiety, confusion, and discouragement that has come with the Covid-19.
We all know that the battle we’re in with Covid-19 has taken its toll on everyone, especially the elderly, parents of school age children, small business folks, and everyone else. I can admit that my life has changed a lot since mid-March. I’ll also admit that my “troubles” are nothing compared to so many others. A lot of questions keep bothering me. What are the consequences for those who no longer celebrate Mass with us? Do we miss not receiving the Lord in Holy Communion? What more should I be doing for you? Because of Covid-19, so many parish gatherings have been cancelled. We have a limited number of committee meetings. If we do, they are either zoom meetings or else we’re in person but sitting as far away from each other as possible! Of course, we can’t have donuts & coffee after our Masses. We no longer can host a luncheon after a funeral. And our Religious Formation Program has gone virtual, meaning we don’t see our young people running in and out of our buildings. Lots of reasons to keep praying for Covid-19 to go back to where it came from and DIE!!!! God help us all! Anointing of the Sick Mass We usually offer the Sacrament of the Sick in the Fall for anyone who wants to receive it. We will offer it within Mass on Wednesday, October 21 at 11:00 am.
We’ll ask everyone to wear masks, sanitize their hands and keep social distancing. Will it be safe to come and be anointed? YES! We will anoint everyone appropriately by dipping a cotton ball in the sacred oil and disposing of it after each person has been anointed. St Joseph / St Mary Prayer Shawl Ministry Prayer Shawl Give Away Where: St. Joseph Parish Great Hall When: Saturday, October 31 after 4:00 pm Mass & Sunday, November 1 after the 8:00 am and 10:00 am Masses. There is NO charge for these shawls. It is part of our ministry to make these shawls and have them available to those who are sick, fighting some disease, or having some need for love and support through the need of prayers. All that we ask for is a name of the individual receiving the shawl even if it is only the first name because our ministry group prays for these people when we get together for our knitting and crocheting of these products.
