Living Lent Together: A Catholic Couple's Guide to Growing Closer to God and Each Other

Presented by Teresa Tomeo and Greg & Julie Alexander

There is no doubt devout Catholics take the purification period of Lent seriously by making sacrifices and taking on more faith-filled activities, but how about taking the same approach with your spouse? Greg and Julie Alexander of the Alexander House marriage ministry join Teresa Tomeo,  internationally acclaimed TV and radio personality, and "Eye on Culture" columnist for OSV Newsweekly, as they explore ideas and exercises that will help bring couples closer together by growing closer to God.

AUTHOR SERIES: Every Step with Jesus

Presented by John Collins

As followers of Christ, we are among those souls walking the steep slope to Calvary with Jesus - to his death, but to our life.

 

Every Step with Jesus is a new and fruitful way to consider the Way of the Cross, not just in public display, but in our private meditation and reflection. Pray through one station per day or week. Choose a station to help you focus on a particular need or intention. Taking every step of every day with Jesus we become more like him, and become more able to take his light out into a darkened world.

ST JOSEPH LENTEN

SOUP NIGHT

As a parish community, we gather to share a simple meal of meatless soup and bread of Thursday during Lent. We start with Mass at 5:15pm in the OC, followed by delicious Soup in the Parish Hall.  It is an opportunity to remember those who go without on a regular basis, as well as to unite as one group with a common purpose. Guests are invited to come with family, friends and please bring your own bowl. Spoons, cups and napkins will be supplied. 

HOW TO GET INVOLVED
We are in need of soup and bread each Thursday.  Those who wish to bring soup can call Debbie 222-8805 or the Parish Office 586-3820.  Soup can be made at home and brought to the Parish Hall kitchen by 4:30pm.
