About the Sessions: This practical study of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will cover an introduction to the Church’s Liturgy but also a detailed and practical study of the Rite of the Traditional Latin Mass. While studying the Ancient Rite of the Church those taking the class will come to a deeper understanding of exactly how the Mass passes on the Faith we profess. This class will also take a look at what is similar and different between the two Forms of the Roman Rite. 

Cost: NONE. Class materials will be provided.

Year of St. Joseph – 2021 Prayer and Plenary Indulgence

Pope Francis has decreed a Year of St. Joseph from December 2020 to December 2021 during which Catholics have the opportunity to gain special indulgences. There are many new ways to receive an indulgence including through prayer, retreats, entrusting one’s daily work to the protection of St. Joseph the Worker, acts of piety and service to the poor. For each upcoming month through December, the Office of Pastoral Services will share a highlighted prayer and plenary indulgence opportunity along with suggested areas of special focus for that month. The customary conditions for indulgences apply (sacramental confession, receiving the Eucharist and prayers according to the Holy Father’s intentions). Visit Year of St. Joseph for resources and to learn more.

Did you know that each First Wednesday is dedicated to the Most Chaste Heart of St Joseph, just like First Fridays are dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and First Saturday’s dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary?

Join us at Sacred Heart of Jesus parish for a monthly  parish-wide novena celebrating the Year of Saint Joseph every first Wednesday beginning on April 7th until December 1st from 6:30pm – 8:00pm
