Nineteenth sunday in ordinary time

by Fr. Boniface Endorf, OP

Dear St. Joseph Parish Family,

This Thursday, August 15th, is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven, and it’s a holy day of obligation. We’ll have a vigil Mass on Wednesday at 7pm, and on the day itself we’ll have our regular 12:10pm and 7pm Masses. On the Assumption our current Dominican novices will take their initial vows as Dominicans and begin their training as student brothers. Please keep them in your prayers.

This Friday, August 16th, we’ll host our 3rd Night Fire, when the church will be open from 8pm until 11pm with adoration by candlelight and music. Please stop by this Friday to pray at this beautiful event.

I’ll be away traveling for the next few weeks, so Fr. Jonah will be in charge at St. Joseph’s. I look forward to seeing everyone again upon my return!

God Bless,
Fr. Boniface
