Weekly Mass Times
Mass will resume June 13th with some restrictions.
Holy Communion
There will be the opportunity to receive Holy Communion on Pentecost Sunday as we celebrate the Birthday of the Church. We won’t be celebrating Mass yet, but we can receive our Lord in Communion.
Here are some simple directives that we will need to follow. We hope you would tune into the virtual Mass on St Joe’s Website (SaintJosephParish.org) at 9:00 am. Then at 10 am you may come to church and follow the guidance of our ushers in how to enter and leave the church. We will be offering Communion until approximately 10:30 am. A reminder…no one is obligated to come for Communion. It is optional. In Christian charity, anyone with a fever, cough or flu like symptoms should remain at home so as to prevent further spread of the illness. Those age 65 or above and those with compromised immunity are encouraged to stay home. All are required to wear a protective mask, observe social distancing and practice proper hand washing hygiene. At 10:00 am the church will be opened, so stay in your cars until then. Everyone will enter through the doors off of our west parking lot. You will need to keep a 6’ distancing, except for family members. Please wear a mask. Your temperature will be taken to assure that you do not have a fever. Each person is asked to sanitize their hands before entering the church. You will be invited to follow the highlighted path with X's marking the proper social distancing. As you approach Fr. Jim near the altar, please leave your mask in place and receive the Body of Christ. Then step to your right into the large marked off box and partake in the Body. Replace your mask and proceed out the atrium door. If you would like you may pick up a bulletin on the way out. We ask that you do not linger in the church or on church property. Not knowing how many people will come means we’ll try to do our best this first weekend. We will make necessary changes the following weeks to assure a prayerful spirit is part of our receiving our Lord after eight weeks. Any questions, give Fr. Jim a call at (920) 419-8738.

Fr Jim’s Jottings
Friends, this weekend we are taking a big step forward in getting back to “normal” regarding Mass and Holy Communion.
Today we are providing the opportunity to receive our Lord in Holy Communion. If you are with us this weekend, you might give a report to your friends about how it all went. Don’t be surprised if there are some wrinkles that we will straighten out next weekend. So, this weekend and next we will provide Holy Communion to all those who join us at 10:00am on Sunday. I will be there till 10:30 or longer depending on the number who come. Please remember there is no obligation to come and receive Communion. That is especially the case if you are elderly and not feeling well. Then on the weekend of June 13/14 we will begin to have public Masses with the restrictions that are required. And here is where we will need your understanding. We are allowed to have 25% of our capacity to be in the church. That means about 100 people who need to wear masks and keep social distancing of 6 feet. I’m thinking we will have Mass on Saturday at 4:00pm and on Sunday at 10:00am. I hope those are enough times for those who would like to come to Mass. (Remember, no one is obligated to come to Mass. This is available for those who want to celebrate Mass.) The challenge is to figure out who are the 100 people that could come to each Mass? We will have to figure out a system that is as fair as possible. Stay tuned for more directions. Thank you! ************************************************************ For Pentecost, let us pray to the Holy Spirit. Come Holy Spirit Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and enkindle in us the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and we shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth. Amen. Sunday BulletinsQuick LinksSunday's Readings
