* Please note, regarding Praying in the Church:
If Father has been called away from the premises, then the Church will be locked to secure the Blessed Sacrament, in accordance with Church Law.
Also, the above are times for Eucharistic Adoration. This is distinct from Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Times for Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament will be announced publicly so that as many of the faithful can gather for these special times of more intense veneration of the Holy Eucharist.
The regularly-scheduled times mentioned above are so that the faithful may know when they may make their ordinary visits to adore Our Lord in the tabernacle.
Please remember, the lit Sanctuary Lamp in the Church indicates that the Holy Eucharist, Our Lord's Real Presence, is actively being reserved in the tabernacle on our main altar.
Cardinal Gregory ended the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. Resuming Sunday, June 27 the faithful are once again obliged to participate in Sunday Mass.
The obligation does not apply to those who are ill; those who have reason to believe that they were recently exposed to the coronavirus, another serious or contagious illness; those who are confined to their home, a hospital, or nursing facility; or those with serious underlying health conditions.
One should consult his or her local pastor if questions arise about the obligation to attend Mass.
When visiting St. Joseph's, please continue to be mindful of the following public health precautions as indicated by Archbishop Gregory and local health officials:
Facial-Covering: A limited numbers of masks are available at the Church;
Hand-Sanitizing: Should you forget your own, we have some in the back ot the Church,
Holy Communion: Distribution of Holy Communion will take place with communicants spacing themselves appropriately along the entire length of the Altar Rail.
