Dear Parishioners,
Please continue to keep Pope Leo XIV in your prayers as he recovers from his surgery to remove a cancerous growth in his right lung. May God give him complete healing so that he may resume carrying out his mission as the Vicar of Christ with strength and vigor.
On this coming Thursday October 22nd our new Archbishop, Ronald A. Hicks, will preside at a Vespers Prayer Service at 7 PM at Immaculate Conception Church located at 414 East 14th Street. After the ceremony there will be a reception in the auditorium. 15 tickets have been issued to our parish. They are being distributed on a “first come, first served” basis with a maximum of two tickets per family. You may request a ticket at the rectory office, which is open from 8:30 AM to 6 PM. Tickets are still available!
Please see the bulletin insert about the fundraising drive of the Ladies of Charity of the Archdiocese of New York to benefit the work of the Sisters of Life with pregnant women and parenting moms. The drive will take place here at St. Joseph’s on the weekend of October 31-November 1. Thank you for supporting this important pro-life effort to help those in need.
All Souls envelopes are available on the tables at the back of the church. Please return your completed envelopes in the collection or drop them off at the rectory office. The All Souls envelopes will be placed on the altar during the month of November. Three Masses will be offered for all those named on the envelopes.
We have resumed the Family Mass every Sunday at 10 AM, at which students help with the readings, altar serving and bringing up the offertory gifts. After each Family Mass there is a gathering in the church basement for coffee and doughnuts. All are invited!
For those who would like to join the Catholic Church, and for those Catholic adults who have not yet made their First Holy Communion and/or Confirmation and would like to do so, our parish online class is available. Please contact me for more information and to register. My contact information is in the bulletin.
God Bless you!
Fr. Gerald E. Murray, Pastor
