Lent and Easter | 2025 – St Joseph Church

The season of Lent and Holy Week are a deeply meaningful time for worship, a sacred opportunity for us to gather and reflect on the profound love and sacrifice of Jesus during his final days on earth.

Dear Parishioners, Friends, and Cherished Guests,

The season of Lent and Holy Week are a deeply meaningful time for worship, a sacred opportunity for us to gather and reflect on the profound love and sacrifice of Jesus during His final days on Earth. This season invites us to immerse ourselves in powerful liturgies that resonate with hope, redemption, and grace—experiences that are truly unique to this time of year.

I warmly invite you to join us for the Masses and liturgies, where we can share in this journey together as a community. Your presence will add to the spirit of unity and reverence that defines our observance of this sacred time of year. For more details about our special offerings during this sacred time, please take a moment to scroll through this webpage or click the links below.

Always in my prayers,
Andrew Young, Pastor
St. Joseph Church

Wednesday, March 5, 2025 | Ash Wednesday

Wednesday marks the beginning of the holy season of Lent, a time for deep reflection and spiritual renewal. With open hearts, we invite you to join us for Mass, where we will receive ashes as a symbol of our commitment to this sacred journey. Let us come together in unity, preparing ourselves for the profound experiences of Holy Week and the celebration of Easter that awaits us.

March 19, 2025 | The Feast of St. Joseph Mass and Celebration following Mass

Mark your calendar and please join us on Wednesday, March 19, at 6:30 PM for a special Mass to honor our patron, St. Joseph, on his feast day! We will have a solemn Mass followed by a reception in Kelley Hall. This is a great opportunity for us to come together as a parish community and give thanks to God for the patronage of St. Joseph. As this is a solemnity, Lenten practices can be relaxed this day to reflect the celebratory nature of the day.

Please join us and bring a friend!
