On behalf of Msgr. John, Fr. Jared and everyone at the Church Office, we would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to every person who volunteered, donated and came out to our Parish Festival this past weekend. Once again, we saw what beautiful weather, prayer and teamwork can do! Thank you all for supporting this year's festival!
While Parish Festival may be over, we still have several events coming up in the parish, and we hope you'll join us!
MONTH OF MARY ON FORMED
Every May, we celebrate the Month of Mary by paying homage to our Blessed Mother. In celebration of the Mother of Our Church, FORMED has added a section to the homepage of their website called “Featured for May: Our Holy Mother” that provides free books, audiobooks, movies and study-guides on Mary for adults and children.
If you're not signed up on FORMED, go to
stjosephbcs.formed.org, click “Register,” enter your name, email address and desired password - that's it!
MAY CROWNING
This Sunday, May 13, will be our annual May Crowning at the 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Masses. If your child/children would like to carry up flowers at the beginning of Mass, please meet Lisa Storemski in the main entrance of the church 10-15 minutes before Mass begins. If you have any questions, contact the Religious Education Office at 979-823-5568.
PENTECOST VIGIL MASS AND ENCOUNTER
We are excited to announce that we are partnering with Ablaze Ministries’ Encounter Team for a night of prayer and worship for the celebration of the Pentecost Vigil Mass. The event will be held at Christ the Good Shepherd Chapel on Saturday, May 19 beginning at 5:30 p.m. with an international rosary prayed in five languages. This will be followed by the Pentecost Vigil Liturgy at 6:00 p.m. and end with a time of praise and worship in Eucharistic Adoration. Please join us for a beautiful liturgy focused on the Holy Spirit taking a larger role in our lives. All are welcome!
** MASS LOCATION CHANGE: On Saturday, May 19, there will be no 6:00 p.m. Mass at St. Joseph Church. We will only have 6:00 p.m. Mass at Christ the Good Shepherd Chapel. **
Happy Month of Mary, and Happy Early Mother's Day
to all the mothers at St. Joseph Church!
