Hello, friends!
As you've seen by email and heard at Mass, St. Aloysius Church is inviting YOU to participate in a 33-day consecration to St. Joseph as part of the Year of St. Joseph! Fr. Donald Calloway has written an excellent devotional that will help you to discover St. Joseph as your spiritual father, and we'd love for you to join us in using it from February 15 to March 19, the Solemnity of St. Joseph!
Although the book has been in high demand (it's even out of stock on Amazon.com!), here are a few ways that you can participate:
- We've obtained a small number of print copies that will be available after Masses this coming weekend. Each copy is $15.
- Heavenly Presents has a small number of print copies in stock that you can purchase by visiting their store in downtown Leonardtown.
- The Kindle edition of the book, which can be read on a Kindle tablet, smartphone, or computer, is available for $9.95 on Amazon.com.
- Today, I received an exciting email announcement that the daily devotional will be available on the Catholify app. I've created a parish group on the app so that anyone who is using the devotional on the app share thoughts with other parishioners, regardless of whether you're participating in one of the small groups below.
Finally, it's not too late to join one of our two weekly small groups to discuss Consecration to St. Joseph! Sign up below!
St. Joseph Small Groups
We're hosting two small groups - one online and one in-person - for those who would like to participate in the 33-Day Consecration to St. Joseph (from 2/15 to 3/19) with others. On Thursdays from 1:00 to 2:30 PM in the hall, beginning on February 18, you can participate in-person in a small group led by Leonard Wathen. On Sundays from 6:30 to 8:00 PM, beginning February 21, you can participate online via Zoom in a small group led by Deb and Deacon Joe Vavrus. You'll receive the Zoom login link by email. A copy of Consecration to St. Joseph by Fr. Calloway is required for both groups. Please sign up below!
