***NOTE LOCATION CHANGE***

St. Joseph Church normally celebrates the Solemnity of St. Joseph, their patronal feast, with a day of prayer. However, the church is temporarily closed for repairs. As such, the St. Joseph's Day festivities will take place at nearby St. JOSAPHAT.

Included in the 12 hours of prayer with 4 Masses, the last one fulfilling Sunday obligation. Also included are guided church tours, opportunities for Confession, public recitation of the Rosary, Italian dinners and much more.
