Mark your calendars to join us at Our Lady of Sorrows Church for Mass celebrating the Solemnity of St. Joseph. Mass will be followed by the blessing of St. Joseph's Table, in the Church Hall.

This Saturday's 9:00 AM Mass will celebrate the Memorial of St. Joseph the Worker. Inspired by St. Joseph’s example and under his patronage, the Church commemorates the human and supernatural value of work. All work is a collaboration in God’s own work of creation, and through Jesus Christ, in accordance with our love for God and for our fellow men and women, it can become true prayer and apostolate.

During this "Year of St. Joseph," our parish is planning to make a group consecration to the great Patriarch on Saturday, May 1, the Memorial of St. Joseph the Worker. A 33-day period of preparation will precede the consecration. Click the article title for more information.
