Dear Parishioners,
Today is the Solemnity of the Baptism of the Lord. This feast brings to a conclusion the Christmas season, and marks the beginning of Our Lord’s three years of public ministry.
Today’s second collection is the monthly collection for St. Joseph’s School. Thank you for supporting our parish school.
You may now donate to St. Joseph Parish on VENMO. The parish VENMO QR code may be found on the front cover of the parish weekly bulletin. The parish VENMO handle is: @saintjosephyorkville.
Update on repairs: The leaking steam pipe in the alleyway between the school and the church was replaced. In the process of doing this work the plumbers discovered that three water pipes were corroded. They were replaced. An electrical conduit pipe was also found to be severely corroded. It was replaced. A third water leak from the steam pipes located in the ceiling in the basement of the church was repaired.
Next weekend I will be away from parish visiting Oslo, Norway. I will be attending the Episcopal Consecration of Msgr. Fredrik Hansen, a priest friend who helped me at my former parish, Holy Family on East 47th Street. Msgr. Hansen was named by Pope Francis as the Co-adjutor Bishop of Oslo. I will return to New York on Monday, January 20th.
Holy Year Pilgrimage to Italy September 9-18, 2025: I will be leading a 10-day pilgrimage to Italy next September for the 2025 Holy Year. A flyer with full details is available at the back of the church. We will visit the holy sites in Milan, Turin, Florence, Assisi and Rome.

God bless you!
Fr. Gerald E. Murray, Pastor

Family Mass: We are looking to bring back the Family Mass, 10:00 AM on Sundays, as it is a wonderful chance to celebrate faith and bring together families of our parish & school community. As of now, the children's choir sings at the 10am mass once a month, and we would love to expand the children’s participation beyond choir. In order to do this, we need families committed to the 10am Mass and children who are trained with the various ways to serve (for example, Altar Servers, Lectors, Offertory Gift Bearers). If you are interested, please contact Isabel Maloney at imunarri@hotmail.com or at 646-825-1736. Please indicate if your child already has training and experience or needs to be trained. We can help set up a training session.
The regular schedule of Masses is as follows:
Monday to Friday – 7:00 am and 12:15 pm
Saturday – 8:00 am, 12:15 pm and 4:00 pm (Sunday Vigil)
Sunday – 8:00 am, 10:00 am, 12:00 noon, 2:00 pm (Hungarian) and 6:00 pm
Confessions are heard on Saturdays from 3:15 to 3:45 pm
The church is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm,
Saturday from 7:30 am to 5pm, and Sunday from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
