palm sunday

by Fr. Boniface, O.P.

Dear St. Joseph Parish Family,

Today we enter Holy Week and we're about to enter the Triduum (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday). Now is the time when Jesus won our salvation on the cross: this is the moment Christ saves us from sin and death and opens the path to eternal life with God before us. This sacred time makes available many powerful graces that we should take advantage of. There are many special liturgies this week and all of them help us enter into the mysteries of Christ's work of salvation. Attend as many of these liturgies as you can because they are a source of much spiritual strength and growth. Below is our Holy Week schedule.

This Monday is Reconciliation Monday, when every Catholic Church in New York City will be hearing confessions from 2-4pm and 6-9pm, St. Joseph's included.
