Dear St. Joe Parishioners,
First of all thank you so much for watching Mass last weekend. We had over 700 viewers that logged on at various times! That’s more than DOUBLE our total weekend Mass attendance.
All the nice comments were appreciated, too. (Some were from my family…) On Palm Sunday, I’d like to tell a neat story I heard when I was a child about the meaning of the Passion events. I will tell the story when we live stream the Mass this coming Saturday evening at 5pm like we did last week. As far as the Passion Gospel goes, I will read the entire Passion myself just like a regular Gospel. There will be no congregational responses. My homily will follow. I didn’t write out my homily this week because the aforementioned story
will be the homily itself. Thank you all for your patience and understanding during these strange times and please be assured of my prayers and daily Masses offered for you.
“Oremus pro invicem!” Let us pray for each other!
Fr. Tom

Dear St. Joe Parishioners,
I hope you are all doing fine with these strange times nowadays. I am looking forward to celebrating Mass this Saturday evening ON LINE! I’m a little nervous but excited. Computer and video technologies are not my strong points, but I’m glad Kelly Zagarri and Sarah Johnson have the ability to make this possible for us. Thanks to Kelly and Sarah! Since my homily is already printed in the bulletin, I will be reading it at this Mass.
Also, there is good news about our tuck pointing project that began several years ago at St. Joe. We now have the funds for the project and have obtained permission from Archbishop Carlson to go ahead with it! The contractor doing the job is Western Tuck Pointing from St. Louis. They’ve performed many jobs for other churches in the Archdiocese and have been very cooperative with us. They started setting up and staging the project today so if you see equipment and workers around the property, that’s what’s happening. The work should be completed in about two months! Thanks to the Parish Council and Finance Committee this year and in past years for “getting things going.” Our church will look beautiful by summertime, just in time for Homecoming! Also, Josh has been using this time to disinfect just about everything in the hall and church. Many other parishes are doing the same thing with their facilities.
Next Sunday, April 5th is Palm Sunday. Our plan is to live stream another Mass on Saturday evening at 5pm and I will bless palms at that Mass. They will be available for pick-up in the back of church or at the rectory during business hours (8am -4pm).
Thank you and keep the faith. God bless St. Joseph Parish!
