Can you believe Lent 2018 is just two away!? We are excited to announce several opportunities to grow in your faith this Lenten Season! From Stations of the Cross to Daily Lent Reflection emails, we hope you will take advantage of all St. Joseph Catholic Church has to offer this Lent — beginning Ash Wednesday!
Ash Wednesday:
This year, Ash Wednesday falls on February 14th. Mass and Distribution of Ashes will be at the following times:
Stations of the Cross:
† Stations of the Cross: Fridays at 9:20 a.m. at Christ the Good Shepherd Chapel
Men's Retreat:
To all the men of the Parish: Don't forget to sign up for the Men's Retreat! "Here I Am Lord" is the theme for this year's retreat, and we are set for a Spirit filled Lenten weekend. The retreat will take place February 23-25 at Christ the Good Shepherd Chapel. You will get to go home each night, and we will re-group the following morning. The cost of the retreat is $25. You can register online or at the Church Office.
We are thrilled to join forces with Dynamic Catholic, FORMED and Flocknote to offer FREE Lent resources sent directly to your email!
- Dynamic Catholic is once again putting on their annual "Best Lent Ever!" It’s a free email program that will guide you on an incredible 40-day journey to become the-best-version-of-yourself, making this a truly life-changing Lent. Click here to sign up!
- We also encourage you to sign-up for FORMED's, "A Lent to Remember" — a four-week, video-based study of the transforming power of mercy in the Sacrament of Confession. To participate, make sure you are signed up on FORMED. It's free and easy to join! Go to stjosephbcs.formed.org, enter your name, email address and desired password, click "Study" then "A Lent to Remember." There, you'll find the weekly studies and leader guides to host your own discussion group.
- Lastly, you can sign up to receive a Daily Lent Reflection email via Flocknote. These reflections will increase your knowledge of Lent and your faith, challenge you to a charitable act each day—and most importantly—strengthen your relationship with Christ. You will receive these emails each Monday through Saturday beginning Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday. Sign up here!
On behalf of Msgr. John, Fr. Jared and Parish Staff, we hope you have a wonderful Lenten experience this year! Let us know if we can help in any way!
