Happening now at Saint Joseph...
40 Hours of Devotion / Parish Mission
As a signature event of our parish year of Eucharistic Revival, we will be hosting a "40 Hours Devotion" – forty continuous hours of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament – in our church beginning the evening of Sunday, March 17, and concluding with the evening Mass on Tuesday, March 19, the feast day of our patron, St. Joseph. Whether you are a regular at Adoration or this may be your first time, all are invited to come spend some time with Our Lord in the Eucharist. Sign up online now!

To accompany our 40 Hours Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, we will be welcoming Dr. Timothy O’Malley to come speak to our parish community about the beauty present in the Blessed Sacrament and how we as a parish community can practically embody our call to be a Eucharistic People. As we receive the fullness of Christ’s Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity when we share in Holy Communion at Mass, we are called to carry that Love and Presence with us into every aspect of our lives. All are welcome:

Sunday, March 17, 11:45am - Talk #1 by Dr. Tim O’Malley (following lunch social after 10am Stewardship Mass)
Monday, March 18, 6:30pm - Corpus Christi Evening Prayer
Monday, March 18, 7:00pm - Talk #2 by Dr. Tim O’Malley
Tuesday, March 19, 6:30pm - Celebration of St. Joseph - We close out our parish mission in celebration of our patron saint and in thanksgiving for the beautiful gift of our St. Joe community! Join us for a 5:30pm feast day Mass followed by a potluck dinner and social in the parish gym. BBQ pulled pork provided. RSVPs appreciated but not required; you may RSVP here or volunteer here.

Holy Week Schedule & Volunteers
Holy Week begins with the celebration of Palm Sunday on March 23/24. Many of the rituals during that sacred time only happen once a year: waving palms in procession, washing feet, processing with the Eucharist to an Altar of Repose, and celebrating the initiation of our Candidates for Full Communion in the RCIA. All of these require the work of the people for them to take place. That means we need you, the people!

Holy Week schedule:
Palm Sunday (March 23/24): Sat. 5pm, Sun. 8am, 10am, and 5pm (outdoor procession at each Mass from Hill Street)
Holy Thursday (March 28): 7pm, Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper
Good Friday (March 29): 9am, Morning Prayer; 1pm, Stations; 3pm, Passion; 8:30pm, Tenebrae
Holy Saturday (March 30): 9am, Morning Prayer; 9pm, Easter Vigil
Easter Sunday (March 31): Masses at 8am, 10am, and 12pm

Liturgical ministers, please sign up to serve via the Ministry Scheduler Pro Web Terminal.

Children in first grade through high school who want to sing with the Children’s Choir on Holy Thursday are invited to sign up here.

All other volunteers for setting up the church and helping in more "behind the scenes" ways are invited to this sign up. Several options are kid- or family-friendly. There is a lot that happens during Holy Week, but when we work together as a parish community, our liturgies can truly be our communal gift of praise to God. If you are limited to one time to come help, the times of "most need" are the Thursday afternoon setup of the gym, and the Saturday morning setup of the church. Thank you for your consideration. Contact Theresa Slott with any questions.

Way of St. Joseph Pilgrimage
Honor St. Joseph by participating in a family-friendly walking pilgrimage from St. Joseph Church, Mishawaka, to Saint Joseph Church, South Bend, on Saturday, April 27. The Way of St. Joseph will begin at 9:00am at St. Joseph Church, Mishawaka, wind its way along the River Walk, and eventually end up at Saint Joseph Church, South Bend. There will be three other on-ramps along the way for families for whom the entire pilgrimage would be too taxing. The event will end with a prayer service, food, and fellowship in the fenced-in parking lot and playground at Saint Joseph, South Bend. The event is free, but registration is strongly recommended. For more information and to register, visit: diocesefwsb.org/joseph-pilgrimage

Eucharistic Adoration
Thank you to everyone who has been committed to making the beautiful ministry of Eucharistic Adoration available in the church on Thursdays from 7:30am - 9:00pm.

Please consider stepping into the role of apostleship so that we may continue providing this beautiful ministry to our community during this Parish Year of the Eucharistic Revival. The signup may be found here: St. Joe Adoration Apostle. We encourage everyone to prayerfully discern being an Apostle for one of our 30- or 60-minute time blocks, but if you would like to just be on our substitute list then please complete this substitute form.

Stations of the Cross
Join us on Fridays during Lent, at 7:00pm in the church, as we walk and pray the ancient devotion of the Way of the Cross. This short (30-minute) devotional prayer is a simple and traditional way to mark the season of Lent. The Stations of the Cross began as the practice of pious pilgrims to Jerusalem who would retrace the final journey of Jesus Christ to Calvary. Later, for the many who wanted to pass along the same route but could not make the trip to Jerusalem, a practice developed that eventually took the form of the fourteen stations familiar to us today. If you would be interested in leading the Stations of the Cross, please contact Theresa Slott at tslott@stjoeparish.com.

Please note, Stations will begin at 4:30pm on Friday, March 8, and 1:00pm on Friday, March 29.
