The Commission exists to promote lifelong faith formation for all parishioners. While addressing the needs of all parishioners, each year a different group is targeted for special focus and service. We meet monthly to plan, coordinate, and evaluate programs and events fostering faith formation.
Now offered after 4:30pm Mass on Saturday and after the 10:00am Mass on Sunday. Please join us as we pray that the saving message of the Gospel will reach the hearts of those who do not believe, those who may not join us for Mass, or those persons faced with suffering in their lives.
We pray for 10 minutes.
Join us in filling our UNITY CROSS with Prayer Tiles. This constant beautiful reminder of the strength, hopes, and belief in the power of prayer demonstrates the spiritual community at St. Joseph.
Tiles to be decorated or waiting for placement on the cross, are located at the foot of the cross.
We all have some “knots” in our lives…
and Mary can untie them! The devotion to Mary, Undoer of Knots has become more popular ever since
Pope Francis encouraged the devotion in Argentina, and then spoke about it during his first year as pontiff. The theology of the devotion actually goes back to the second century. Saint Irenaeus wrote that, “The knot of Eve’s disobedience was untied by the obedience of Mary; what the virgin Eve bound by her unbelief, the Virgin Mary loosened by her faith.” Mary’s faith unties the knot of sin! So we will pray that the Blessed Virgin Mary will intercede for us all, to untie the knots of sin in our lives – so that we may be purified and ever closer to God.
