St. Joseph

• The general dispensation of the obligation to attend Mass has been lifted (obligation back in effect):
  • However, there are many health issues and life circumstances which could exempt you from the Obligation including:
      *positive for COVID-19 or came in contact with someone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days
      *running a fever
      *have a cough or COVID/flu like symptoms
      *is in the ‘at risk’ category due to—age 60 or older, compromised immune system, diabetes, serious heart condition, believe attending Mass would pose             an undue risk to other family members such as elderly parents you are caring for
      *tried to attend Mass but was turned away due to lack of room.
     
• Certain precautions implemented earlier will remain in effect:
  • Our church will be cleaned and key areas sanitized after every Mass.
  • We will only use half our pews.
    • Households will sit together: please maintain a 6-foot space from other households.
  • Only the Communion Host will be offered, received in your extended flat hand, to minimize contact.
  • Ministries will be limited to a few specifically chosen people – no ministry schedule for now.
  • Collections baskets will sit near the Church entrances/exits.

The Saturday 4 PM Masses will live stream below on the homepage and on our Facebook page.  Until Saturday, you may view the most recent Mass below, or go to the Recorded Masses under Resources for all the recorded Masses. Any information about the upcoming Mass will be under News and Announcements (button to the left or link here). Missalettes can be picked up from the church so you can follow along with Mass. News and Announcements will be St. Joseph's "digital bulletin board".  Please visit often!
