HOLY WEEK-PALM SUNDAY, 4/5/20

Dear St. Joseph Parishioners,

    I pray that this letter may find you well, healthy, and safe. This week, we are officially entering into Holy Week, starting with Palm Sunday. As we are all aware of the difficulty brought to us by this pandemic, I will make sure that your spiritual and sacramental needs are met, and that our parish can reach out to you through the liturgical services that are posted online.

Below is our official schedule that will guide our entire celebration throughout this week via website and through live live streaming (Facebook Page). Please be guided accordingly.

Palm Sunday: Sunday, April 5, 2020, at 10:00 am, Bilingual Mass

Holy Thursday/ Mass of the Lord’s Supper: Thursday, April 9, 2020, at 6:30 pm

Good Friday/ Veneration of the Cross: Friday: Friday, April 10, 2020, at 12:00 noon

Easter Vigil: Saturday, April 11, 2020, at 8:30 pm, Bilingual Mass

           Indeed, this Holy Week is a special time for us not only to reaffirm our faith in our Lord through the power of the Cross and the mystery of His resurrection, but also to deepen our relationship with one another and our communion as one family. May the grace of this Holy Season be with us, as we strive and seek to serve the Lord and one another during these trying times. Rest assured that I will keep you and your intentions in all our liturgical celebrations. Let us pray earnestly that God may finally bring healing to our community and country.  And, that our God may generously make our prayer happen- and we may receive it- as our Easter miracle brought about by the empty tomb.

Take Care
