As we are united with Christ, so are we also united with each other. Effective July 3, 2021, St. Joseph Parish is encouraging in-church Mass participation. The faithful are to return to the practice of participating at weekly celebration of Mass in-church. We will continue to live-stream the 9 AM Mass for the sick, those with underlying health conditions, and those who remain fearful of COVID-19 transmission. Bishop Gainer has not yet lifted the dispensation for Mass attendance What’s changing: “Parking lot Masses” and “In-car reception of the Eucharist” will be discontinued. The collection baskets will once again be passed. Holy Communion will still be distributed by the Sacred Host only.
