Though this summer we remain unable to hold the St. Joseph the Worker Summer Festival in all its glory, we are excited to hold two weekends of Celebration in honor of the 2020-2021 worldwide Year of St. Joseph declared by Pope Francis. There will be food and activities for the young and old alike.
The ever-popular Flea Market will be held in the Parish Center from June 11th to July 25th. You may drop off donations of items for the Flea Market in the two-car garage through July 3rd.

Mass Obligation Remains Lifted
Until further notice, Bishop Alfred Schlert, in union with the Bishops of Pennsylvania, has dispensed the faithful of the Diocese of Allentown from the obligation to attend Saturday Vigil/Sunday Masses.
“The clergy and religious of the Diocese of Allentown continue to stand ready to provide steadfast support and prayers during this difficult time,” said Bishop Schlert. “Just as St. Joseph protected the Holy Family, we turn to St. Joseph to protect us at this time of uncertainty and pandemic.”

Prayer to St. Joseph
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen.
