Solemnity of Saint Joseph

Written By St. Joseph Firebaugh

On Thursday, March 19, our parish community will gather in faith and gratitude to celebrate the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, the beloved patron of our parish and the faithful guardian of the Holy Family. Saint Joseph is honored throughout the Church as a model of humility, obedience, and quiet strength, and we invite all parishioners and friends to join us in this special celebration.

We will start with a solemn procession at 5:00 PM, as we come together in prayer and devotion to honor Saint Joseph and ask for his continued intercession for our families, our parish, and the entire Church.

Following the procession, a special Mass will be celebrated at approximately 6:30 PM, giving us the opportunity to unite in worship and thanksgiving for the example of faith and trust that Saint Joseph provides for all of us.

After Mass, everyone is warmly invited to continue the celebration with refreshments and fellowship in the parish hall. This will be a wonderful time for our community to gather, share in conversation, and celebrate together as a parish family.

We encourage all parishioners, families, and friends to participate in this beautiful celebration as we honor Saint Joseph, patron of the Universal Church, protector of families, and a powerful intercessor for all who seek his guidance.

All are welcome!
