Additionally, Fr Santy will be available to hear Confession prior to Mass starting at 3pm. We are blessed to be able to add another Mass for St Joseph’s Parish but we sure could use some extra volunteers to serve on ministries. In order to schedule required help, there will be Mass Time Availability sheets in the back of church for Lectors, Servers, Eucharistic Ministers and Ushers. Please use these sheets to indicate your Mass time availability. This will help with the new scheduling requirements. HOLY LAND PILGRIMAGE Fr.
