From the Pastor's DeskOn Wednesday Feb. 17th we will have entered the beautiful season of Lent. On Ash Wednesday we will hear the wonderful words of the Prophet Joel:
Even now, says the LORD,
return to me with your whole heart,
with fasting and weeping and mourning;
Rend your hearts, not your garments,
and return to the Lord, your God.
For gracious and merciful is he,
Slow to anger, rich in kindness,
and relenting in punishment. (Jl 2:12-13)
These words call to mind the heart of our individual Lenten journey which call us to repentance and conversion, to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Through fasting, prayer, and penance, we experience that deep emptiness and hunger which can be satisfied only by God himself. Each of us must commit ourselves to a Lenten experience which focuses on these vital activities to prepare us for the great Easter celebration.
We are, however, also a people of God journeying together through the Season of Lent. In the spirit of Tradition, each Friday, we will gather for the Stations of the Cross at 6:00pm followed by our Scripture Reflection Tradition at 6:30pm in the Church. This year, to celebrate the Year of St. Joseph, we will have a speaker every week speaking on St. Joseph with time for questions and reflection afterwards.
This Lenten observance will bring us closer together as a parish community and prepare us to enter into the great Paschal Mystery as a community of faith.
Yours in Christ,Father Jean Baptiste

Room in the Inn Update: Covid 19 has created a great deal of challenges in 2020 and the Room in the Inn program is no exception. Due to a variety of circumstances affecting our team, we will not be able to operate our St. Joseph Inn as we have for the last 12 years. However, as people of faith with a desire to help the most vulnerable we have opportunities to help the program at Our Lady of the Lake in Hendersonville. Please see volunteer opportunities below. We know how important this program is to you and sincerely thank you for all the support you have given over the years.
