The Saints Go Marching In

We had a special procession at the 10:15 Mass for All Saints' Day. Several of St. Joe's youth dressed as a saint, wore a saintly crown, or carried a symbol of that saint as they processed in before the Mass.

Many saints were represented, including Saint Katherine and Mary, the Mother of God. Saint Maria Goretti (left), Saint Francis of Assisi (middle) and Saint Vincent de Paul (right) are pictured below :)


Thank you to all of those who participated. And if you weren't able to be there? No worries... just start thinking of who you'll be next year!
