“Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. So they abandoned their nets and followed him,” (Mark 1:17-18).

Lay Ministry Schedule

Pro-life Reflection: Every January tens of thousands of Ameri-

cans participate in the March for Life in Washington, D.C., or

West Coast Walk for Life in San Francisco.

These events give public witness that most

Americans want to see unborn children pro-

tected, and enable all who participate to be

renewed in their convictions and determina-

tion to work for that protection. Prayer:

Lord, bless all those who [each year] march

for life, and the many more who labor for

life in their own communities every day.

Attention St. Joseph 2018 (EF) Confirmandi

Please contact the Priory Office this week if your child wishes

to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in 2018. The Dio-

cese is seeking initial head counts. Confirmation registration

must be completed, and copies of their prior sacramental

records with registration fee, submitted to Sandi in the Priory

office, no later than January 10, 2018. Please plan ahead and

begin preparations early, as record retrieval from other

churches can take up to several weeks to receive.

Faith Formation Program

Classes: Sundays 9:15am-10:15am

Downstairs in the Madden Center ~ Patti Schwartz, Director ~

Jesus said to Simon and Andrew, “Follow me, and I

will make you fishers of men. So they abandoned

their nets and followed him,” (Mark 1:17-18). What

does this mean? Jesus, the great teacher, wants us

to set aside what we are busy doing, come spend

time with him, and learn from him. Come to faith

formation classes to find out how Jesus wants to

make you a fisher of men.

Sudden Service Sunday 1/28/2018

In co-operation with Troy Architecture and Preservation, Inc (TAP) and their partner organization, the Historic Albany Foundation, we are planning to open our doors to their constituents at our 12:00pm Latin Liturgy on January 28, 2018 for what may best be described as an architecture “flash mob.” In addition to offering the Ancient Liturgy of the Holy Sepulcher, we will provide a tour of our Louis Comfort Tiffany Windows of the "Iron Workers Church," including a brief historical context. In November of 2017 a very enthusiastic group of 20 Tiffany and Architecture lovers joined with the parish and experienced the priceless architecture and ornamentation of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Troy. Guests viewed St. John’s recent restorations, after workers removed years of candle soot revealing chapel murals attributed to the muralist and Tiffany mosaic master, Jacob Adolphus Holzer, while chimer, Andrew Mace, played St. John’s rare 11-bell Meneely chime. The tour they enjoyed after the service added much more to the exciting flash mob experience. We want to share St. Joseph Church’s beauty and parish family with all our neighbors and residents. All are welcome to come and enjoy both the Tiffany & Architecture flash mob Mass and Tour. Come for what you can offer – warmth, knowledge, history, and friendship. But, also, come for the heavenly gifts you will receive – Eucharist, the Holy Mass, beauty, wonder, and awe. All are welcome.
