....And with your Spirit!
The long awaited new translation of the Roman Missal is in effect as of today (Hoo-rah)! The 3rd addition of the Roman Missal translates into English much closer to the original Latin text. This is a great blessing for the Universal Church. Here are some pictures of the new Missal that will be used at St. Joseph's at the Wednesday and Sunday Masses said in the vernacular:
"Ite ad Joseph!"
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament
Father Roman announced during his homily at today's 10:00 am Mass that Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament will return after the 10:00 a.m. Mass throughout the Advent Season! Depending on the feedback from our parishioners, he will make the decision whether to have this Holy Service return on a permanent basis!
Please stay after Mass and spend some quite time with our Lord!
