We are in the midst of Holy week. There's lots happening at St. Joe's as we gear up for the beautiful Masses we will experience this week.

Just so you don't miss anything, here are some important dates & times to put on the calendar:

Wednesday, March 31st - Shadow Stations in the Church at 7:30 PM

Thursday, April 1st, the Easter Triduum begins. This is a "three-day festival" of prayer and worship, composed of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil - the heart and core of the whole Church year - on Saturday evening.

Please join us for these special masses:

Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord's Supper - 8:00 PM (Will you participate in the washing of the feet?)

Good Friday service - 1:00 PM

Easter Vigil - Saturday, April 3rd, 8:30 PM (Come celebrate as we welcome Tim Dolan, Nolan Dowd, Craig Anderson, Ryan Galbreath & Brian Fuhrman into the Catholic church, celebrate the sacraments of Confirmation & First Eucharist with Jessica Boone & Jason Micek, and the sacrament of Confirmation with Priscilla Fuhrman).

Next Time Won't You Sing With Me

We had a very special closing to our GIFT classes on March 3rd. After singing the Zacchaeus song in class earlier this year, one of the first graders found the music to accompany his class on the guitar. He was generous (and brave) enough to share his gift with the entire GIFT group!

And now, to the video...

Thanks 1st graders for singing with us all! (And thanks Fr. Tom for quickly producing a working camera!)
