This Christmas we handed out copies of this book as gifts to all who came to the holiday Masses. The book shares what the author, Allen R. Hunt, says he has learned from the happiest people he knows.
In this year’s Annual Lenten Speaker Series, we will hear from some of the happiest people at Saint Joseph Parish! Their unique perspectives will be offered to encourage and inspire us.

As Catholics, we believe in Christ’s real presence — body, blood, soul, and divinity — in the Eucharist. In addition to every Mass, we are able to spend time with Jesus in a special way during Eucharistic Adoration.
The Eucharistic Revival organizing committee has made this wonderful prayer companion for use during adoration this Lent. Feel free to download it for your personal use.
