Please join St. Joseph's Pax Christi community for a special Peace Mass on Saturday, July 31 at 10:00 A.M., to be followed by a light reception downstairs in our church hall. This Mass is held in memory of the victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, and what better way to pray for the peace that is so much needed among nations, in our societies, in our neighborhoods and homes, and in our hearts.
The memorial of our Capuchin brother Blessed Solanus Casey will be celebrated on Friday, July 30, but so that more parishioners would be able to celebrate this great man of God, we will remember him at the Masses the weekend of July 31/August 1 , which will include the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick immediately after the Mass for those who are in need of physical, emotional or spiritual healing.

All men of the parish are invited to join us on Saturday, August 14 for our next meeting of our Men’s Group. This is a group of brothers who meet once a month to learn from one another how their faith can enrich every part of their lives. We will gather in the parish center at 7:30 A.M.- yes, that’s right! We chose that time so that you would have the rest of the day to do what you need to do. Please join us and bring a friend- there’s no commitment by attending but we do hope you will be part of this community of faith.
