IMPORTANT COVID-19 ALERT!

Unfortunately, COVID-19 has come to the parish. Msgr. Vogan was diagnosed last week and is on the road to recovery. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. The rest of the parish priests and staff are helathy and staying safe. 
 As a result the parish office will be closed to traffic. PARISH OFFICE: If you would have a need or would like to purchase mass or gift cards, you can call the parish office between 10AM and 1PM by calling 610-497-3340 (please leave a message with phone number if the machine picks up) or email stjoseph256@comcast.net and we can arrange for contactless exchange at your convenience. 
As a result of this necessity, DAILY MASSES will not be celebrated publicly in our parish until after the weekend of December 5th and 6th. 
VIGIL & SUNDAY MASS: The Saturday Vigil and Sunday morning Masses will be celebrated publicly. 
We have retained coverage for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception for the 6:30, 8:30AM and 7:00PM Mass. 
CONFESSION: Confessions will be heard on Saturdays as usual from 4:00-4:45PM, however we will not hear Confessions on Sundays at this time.

The church will remain open for visits and quiet prayer, but no Daily Mass will be celebrated. 

All Daily Mass Intentions will be honored privately.

PARISH FACILITIES: The parish facilities will be closed through the end of December..

The reality for our parish is an unfortunate eventuality, but one that cannot be ignored. We will follow the CDC protocol and guidelines. We believe that is necessary in order to ensure that we are continuing to do the best we can in response to the pandemic and for the safety of our parishioners.

Women at the Well Event - December 6th
Theme:  Advent by Candlelight: “W.A.I.T on the Lord”
VIRTUAL
RSVP Required.  Email Dana Westby at danawestby@hotmail.com.

Women of all ages are invited to set aside some time before the hustle and bustle of holiday preparation to focus our minds on the birth of Christ and how God changes “What Am I Thinking” to “Whom Am Trusting”.  We’ll also be joined by one of our Catholic Christian Outreach participants who will give her brief testimony of how Jesus has made a difference in her life.  Masks & COVID precautions in effect.
