A Holy Week Letter from Fr. JimOur Stories of St. Joe'sResources to Help You Stay ConnectedAs we begin Holy Week, here are some ways to spend time in Prayer:

Fr Jim’s JottingsAnother week has passed and we continue to deal with what was unthinkable just three weeks ago. We’re staying in our homes and trusting the advice of our government leaders to wash hands and keep a six foot distance where possible. We watch the news and try to comprehend the anxiety and suffering hidden in the numbers of those who have tested positive for the coronavirus. We can’t possibly know or understand the heartache of those who have died and their grieving families and friends. What are you doing to face all this? Where do you find comfort and hope? I can’t help but hear the voice of Jesus begging us to reach out to Him. He loves us and wants to be a part of our fears and anxieties. Especially at a time like this, He’s standing with arms wide open to give us comfort and hope. We are beginning Holy Week with Palm Sunday that leads through the sacred days of Our Lord’s last supper, His crucifixion and death, and His glorious resurrection. Jesus overcame His nightmare by breaking out of the tomb. We’re struggling as a country and world with the nightmare of the coronavirus. I believe that Jesus will bring us through this to a new life of grace. Can you take time to sit quietly with our Lord, telling Him what’s in your heart and listening to His reassuring voice? It’s encouraging to hear from many parishioners who are able to watch our recorded Masses each weekend. They often say it’s like we are together even if not in church! For Holy Week, we will televise Mass on Palm Sunday @ 9:00am, Good Friday services @ 1:00pm, and Easter Sunday @ 9:00am. We won’t televise a Mass for Holy Thursday or Holy Saturday. You can view these Masses by opening up our website on your computer at https:// www.saintjosephparish.org. There is a link to our Mass along with a Mass sheet. Hope you will be with us. Each week we are printing about 150 bulletins which are in the back of church for you to pick up, if interested. FYI: St Joe’s Church will be open daily from 8 AM-4:00 PM for private prayer. Unfortunately, our Parish Office will be closed for the time being. But if you need something, just call Fr Jim (920-419-8738) since he’s available in the friary. LENTEN REMINDERS *Sacrament of Reconciliation. Throughout Lent there will be an extra hour each week for Private Confession on Wednesday from 5:30-6:30 pm. *Good Friday Fast and Abstinence Regulations As a way of identifying with our crucified Lord, we don’t eat meat on Good Friday and we fast by eating only one main meal.
