A Few Notes

Do you realize that all of your time in Purgatory can be wiped away? Come experience the Extraordinary Graces poured out this Sunday at 2 PM. Keep in mind that this does not replace your regular Sunday Mass obligation, and that part of the conditions of receiving the indulgence include receiving Holy Communion at Mass that morning or at the Vigil on Saturday. Confessions will be available at the service. Don't miss out on this timely opportunity!

One day, this Capital Campaign will become a part of the history of our parish. You can still be a part of the story by contributing HERE to help us reach our goal and receive the million-dollar match. Those funds will assist us to secure our parish into the future and for our children's children.

The School is holding a Basket Raffle in the Parish Center after all the Masses this Sunday, so plan to stop in to support a good cause. The funds help with the operating costs so we can continue to offer Catholic education at our parish.

The Bereavement Gathering which was scheduled for this Sunday has been cancelled.

Please join us to pinch Pierogis for the Festival on Tuesday, April 9th and Wednesday, April 10th in the Parish Center at 9 AM. We could also use some kitchen help at 8 AM on Monday April 8th at 8 AM to make Pierogi filling and noodles. Contact Gerry Schultz (610) 799-3738 with questions.

The Labor of Love Crafters will be expanding to include sewing projects for the needy. One of our members has cut and sewn 20 neck pillows. If you would like to help stuff and neatly sew the closures, we would love for you to join us on Tuesday at 1 PM in Parish Center room 3/4.

The Moms Group will be meeting again on Thursday, April 18th. We are planning an outdoor excursion depending on the weather. If you haven't already, please join our mailing list HERE for updates on this event as well as future gatherings. If you have questions, please contact Cristina HERE or at (484) 895-8720.

Family Faith Formation will be meeting this Wednesday, April 10th at 6:00 PM for families with last names from A-L. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Pray for Our Parish

Dear God,

I believe that you have the ability to convert everyone at St. Joseph the Worker Church and I beg you to perform miracles in our lives that we will come to love you and never want to offend you.

I beg you to let us see our sins and run to the confessional, that the lines will be out the door.

Set the hearts of our priests on fire so that they burn with the desire for the conversion of every soul in the parish.

I implore you to make St. Joseph's a beacon in our diocese, that souls will be drawn by the holiness they find here.

I ask that you blind Satan to every parishioner, that they might have the space to know and love you without temptation.

I offer myself to you completely at whatever the cost.

Amen
