Due to health restrictions and the designation of the special “Year of Saint Joseph,” our programs will look somewhat different this year. If you are already participating in the “School of Discipleship” with Jeff Cavins, remember that there is a “40 Day Challenge” for Lent associated with it. You may wish to discern carefully before adding any other commitments on top of that!
See our Liturgical Schedule and Lenten Opportunities below!
Stations of the Cross and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will be held every Friday of Lent at 7pm. You may attend in-person without the need for a reservation. We will also provide a pre-recorded Stations of the Cross.
Slots will appear on the confession sign up 7 days in advance.
March 3rd: 7-8:30pm
(7-7:30pm for Parishioners then 7:30-8:30pm for Religious Ed & Confirmation)
March 18th: 5-7pm
March 30th: 2-4pm, 7-9pm
March 31st: 9:30am-11:30am
Holy Mother Church holds up Saint Joseph, Head of the Holy Family, as a model of faith for us in these difficult times. We are offering two specific ways to incorporate Saint Joseph into your Lenten spiritual enrichment; our Lenten Lecture Series on Saint Joseph, or the Consecration to Saint Joseph by Father Calloway. These programs are mutually enriching and so you may wish to consider doing both. We also recommend participating in a small group to help unpack the spiritually rich content. See the adjacent tabs for more information and to join a small group for either group!

Struggling to break free from an addiction or just wanting to translate wishful thinking into real spiritual growth? Not just a shorter version of the Exodus 90 program, this Lenten regimen for men has been specially designed to lead you to Easter. However, it also uses many of the same disciplines of the longer program. Are you ready to tackle this spiritual Bootcamp?
"Exodus 40" requires a group as part of its dynamics. Our programs in honor of Saint Joseph have options for small group discussion. If you are interested in joining or leading a group, please immediately contact Linda Wandrei at boysnlinda@msn.com as Lent is just days away!
