Dear Parishioners,
This Thursday, November 27th, is Thanksgiving Day, a Federal Holiday. There will only be one Mass on Thanksgiving at 7 AM. The church will close for the day after Mass. There is no 12:15 Mass on Thanksgiving. The rectory office will be closed. On Friday November 28th there will be only one Mass at 7:00 AM. There will be no 12:15 PM Mass on Friday. The rectory office will be closed.
We give thanks to God for all the blessings he has poured down upon us and upon our country. We are also reminded of our Christian duty to take care of the poor and needy. Today we have the annual second collection for Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York. Catholic Charities provides help and guidance to those in need. Please be generous in today’s second collection.
St. Joseph’s Parish and our neighbor Holy Trinity Episcopal Church sponsor each year the Thanksgiving Day Program to provide Thanksgiving dinners for 300 people. If you would like to help in this worthy effort, please email chtforthanksgiving@gmail.com. Volunteers are needed at Holy Trinity Church on Nov. 23rd from 1-4 PM, on Nov. 24, 25 and 26 from 2-4 PM and 6-9PM, and on Thanksgiving Day from 9-11 AM. You may also donate to this effort. Please write your check to St. Jospeh’s Church and drop it off at the rectory office. Your gift of $25 covers the cost of two complete meals.
Today is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Next Sunday is the First Sunday of Advent, the beginning of the new liturgical year.
God bless you!
Fr. Gerald E. Murray, Pastor
