St. Joseph  

In reference to Bishop Soto's letter dated June 1, 2021, starting Friday, June 18, 2021, all  celebrations of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as well as other sacramental and worship services, will change to 100% of the seating capacity. The general dispensation from the obligation to attend mass in person, will be revoked starting June 20, 2021.

Please keep in mind that public health precautions are still important to follow:  hand washing, use of hand sanitizers, physical distancing, any form of physical contacts, and wearing a face mask. We'll keep you updated on any chages. Thank you for your patience.
