Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Joseph’s
As we enter this sacred season of Advent, we are invited once again to slow down, to breathe deeply, and to prepare our hearts for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the midst of busy schedules, holiday preparations, and the noise of daily life, Advent offers us a gentle but powerful reminder: “Be still and know that I am God.” This season of hope calls us to look toward the light -Christ’s light – that breaks through darkness and renews our spirits. Each of the four weeks of Advent draws us deeper into anticipation:
Hope, reminding us of God’s promises.
Peace, settling our hearts amid life’s storms.
Joy, lifting our spirits as we draw nearer to Christ.
Love, completing our preparation as we await the birth of Jesus.
We would like to take this opportunity to share our regular Mass times and our Christmas and New Years Mass Schedule.

We invite you and your family to join us throughout this beautiful season. Whether you gather with us for Sunday Mass, participate in our Advent reconciliation service, or spend time in quiet prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, may these weeks help you encounter Christ in a new and meaningful way. As we journey together toward Christmas, may the Holy Family – Joseph, Mary, and the Infant Jesus – guide us with their example of faith, trust, and humble devotion.
On behalf of Father Yannick and St. Josephs Roman Catholic Church, we pray that this Advent season fills your home with hope, peace, joy, and love.
Many Blessings,
Father Yannick & St. Joseph’s Parish Council
