We celebrate the presence of God in our midst through worship, service, and catechesis.

Monthly Holy Hour: Novena to St. Joseph

Our parish monthly Eucharistic Holy Hour will include a Novena

to St. Joseph on Tuesday, May 8th, at 6:00 PM.

Our parish patron, St. Joseph, is the patron of the Universal Church. Having died in the "arms of Jesus and Mary" according to Catholic tradition, he is considered the model of the pious believer who receives grace at the moment of death, in other words, the patron of a happy death. St. Joseph is also the patron saint of families, fathers, workers and those seeking employment, against doubt & hesitation, cemetery workers, among many other causes.

All are invited to join us in this monthly Holy Hour and Novena to our parish patron on May 8th.
