Have you considered committing to an hour of Adoration per week? For many Catholics, this is the thing that has the most impact on their relationship with Jesus. The current open hours are as follows: Tuesday at 11 AM; Wednesday at 11 AM, 2 PM, 6 PM; Thursday at 3 PM; and Friday at 4 PM and 6 PM. Not ready to commit? We also welcome substitutes. Contact Mary HERE to sign up.

Be sure to sign up below for both Family Faith Formation or OCIA, which will be starting soon. These are the Church's primary catechesis programs: FFF for youth and families, and OCIA for adults looking to complete their sacraments. FFF is still looking for two classroom aides. If you are willing to be a "second adult" in the room, contact Mrs. Hayward HERE.

Did you know that Catholics are encouraged to make one retreat per year? It's not required, but it is excellent for your spiritual health. Many people from St. Joseph the Worker and surrounding parishes attend the Men's and Women's retreats at Malvern. You can find out more and register by clicking the links or check the bulletin.

This weekend we welcome tenor Jarrod Miller, who will be singing at the 11 o'clock Mass on Sunday. You can read more about Jarrod HERE.

The Divine Mercy Cenacle invites all to join "The Heart of Prayer" with Bishop Cozzens who leads viewers through eight sessions of teaching and reflection on prayer and its place in our spiritual life. Begins September 2 on Wednesday mornings at 9:30 AM in Parish Center room 3/4.

Don't wait another minute to register your children in 1st through 8th grades for Family Faith Formation. We know you will enjoy being a part of this community which grows organically, as you also grow closer as a family and to the Lord. Sign up HERE today to bring your children to and through the Sacraments!

That Man is You! honestly addresses the pressures and temptations that men face in our modern culture, especially those relating to their roles as husbands and fathers. The program harmonizes current social and medical science with the teachings of the Church and the wisdom of the saints to develop the vision of man fully alive. Research shows TMIY to be one of the most life-transforming programs ever studied. All men are invited regardless of whether they have attended before or not. This 13 week program will begin on Wednesday mornings from 7-8 AM, beginning on September 9th.

Join the Youth Group as we kick off the year with first Saturday Mass, Breakfast and Bible Study on Saturday, September 5th. We will meet up at the 8:30 Mass and move to the Parish Center afterward. Pick up is at 10:30 AM.

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

Pray for Vocations

God our Father, please send us holy priests and religious, all for the Sacred and Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, all for the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, in union with Saint Joseph.

Amen
