Dear Saint Joseph Family in Christ,

Welcome to Saint Joseph/Old Mission San Jose and our weekly communication newsletter.  I invite you to embrace and share these messages with your family and friends.

The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.  Psalm 126

This weekend we celebrate LENT V.  We are reminded of God’s readiness to forgive sin, repair our broken lives, and restore people to His friendship.  We are called to extend this same mercy to others and to live as forgiven people, actively seeking reconciliation with God and one another. God’s steadfast love is merciful.  He does not condemn us, but rather calls us tenderly to conversion.

I want to personally thank you for the outpouring of generosity and compassion toward our brothers and sisters in Ukraine.  Our parish raised in excess of $44,000 for the Ukrainian relief effort.  Thank you for your selfless and most generous support.

Please join us April 6 as we celebrate our First Wednesday of the Month Devotion to Saint Joseph with Mass in the Mission at 7:00 PM.  Our Adult Multi-Cultural Choir provides the sacred music under the leadership of our Director of Music Ministries, Ronald E. McKean.  Please don't miss this prayerful and meditative evening as we move through our Lenten season.  We hope to see you there.

Please join us for Stations of the Cross this Friday at 7:00 PM in the Mission.  If you are unable to join us in person, please consider praying at home.  Please click here for the worship aid we use every week.  Stations of the Cross is the perfect way to remember, reflect and pray.  You will get to know Jesus, his family and his friends in a more personal and intimate way.
