There will be seven Masses to celebrate the Solemnity of Christmas Dec. 24-25; daily and Sunday Mass schedule remains the same during the Christmas Octave Dec. 26-31; a four-Mass schedule caps the octave with the Solemnity of Mary Mother of God.
On November 19, 2020, in the pastor's monthly chapter talk, a "Year of St. Joseph" was declared to help strengthen our ties to our patronal saint and to help us discern our collective future emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic and other global crises. On December 8, 2020, Pope Francis declared a "Year of St. Joseph" for the universal church. We are excited by the reinforcing possibilities for us at the parish.
