on this journey
of Lent
Dates to remember:
7:45PM following daily mass.
Enter the journey of Christ on the road to the cross, by “virtually” walking the stations of the cross with us. This Friday, join with us as we honor the Redemptorists serving at St. Joseph Parish by praying "The Way of the Cross by St. Alphonsus Liguori".
St. Alphonsus had a passionate love for Christ and Mary. "His Crib, His Cross, His Altar, and His Mother". He dedicated his life to serving the poor, and gathered devout men to form the Redemptorist Order. St Joseph Parish, indeed the entire Archdiocese of Grouard McLennan, has been well led by Redemptorists who follow Alphonsus by leading us to serve the poor.

The entire world; ALL the people on this, our Common Home, have been impacted in so many ways by the Covid Pandemic.
