When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they were all in one place together. And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were. Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim.
Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“For God formed man to be imperishable;
the image of his own nature he made him.
But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world,
and they who belong to his company experience it.”
Eucharistic Adoration
Friday, July 3rd, 8:00pm – 11:30pm

“…In this world I cannot see the Most High Son of God with my own eyes, except for His Most Holy Body and Blood.” – St. Francis of Assisi
Make a Holy Hour
Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament helps bring you closer to Christ. It is a special opportunity to quietly meditate on the sacrifice Jesus made to save us from our sins and give us eternal life.
You are invited to experience our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament at St. Joseph’s. Eucharistic Adoration begins each Wednesday after the 10AM Mass with the exposition of the Sacred Host on the altar and concludes at 5PM with Benediction. Adoration is a wonderful opportunity to pray and offer thanks, especially for our beloved priests, with June 19, 2009 – June 19, 2010 having been declared by Pope Benedict XVI as The Year of the Priest. Consider a commitment to be in the Real Presence of Jesus for the same hour each week by signing up.
