On Friday, December 2nd at 7:00 PM in the church, we will have
our monthly Holy Hour of Adoration
concluding with benediction of the Most

minds to celebrate Jesus’ birth at Christmas.
Join us for prayer, music and quiet time while
spending one hour before the Blessed
Sacrament in gratitude for all that the Lord has given each one of
us. “The purpose of the Holy Hour is to encourage deep personal
encounter with Christ. The holy and glorious God is constantly
inviting us to come to Him, to hold converse with Him, to ask for
such things as we need and to experience what a blessing there is
in fellowship with him…” – Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.

“Brothers and sisters, let us not be closed to the
newness that God wants to bring into
our lives! Are we often weary,
disheartened, and sad? Do we feel
weighed down by our sins? Do we
think that we won’t be able to cope?
Let us not close our hearts, let us not
lose confidence, let us never give up.”
― Pope Francis, The Church of Mercy

SMART SHOPPER CARDS- Did you know that you can con-
tribute to your parish community just by buying your groceries?
Through St. Joseph’s parish, you can purchase cards from
ShopRite, Top’s and Hannaford’s that can be used towards pur-
chases at those stores. The best part is that for every $100 you
spend using these cards, St. Joseph’s Parish receives $5.00 which
goes toward maintaining the parish and the many activities we
sponsor. The cards are available in $20, $50, and $100 amounts
and can be purchased using cash, check, or credit card. Please
stop by the parish center during business hours (Monday-Friday,
