St. Joseph Roman Catholic Parish, a welcoming community centered on the Eucharist, courageously embraces the call to discipleship and evangelization through the sacraments, faith formation and service.

2nd Sunday of Ordinary Time
With the feast of the Baptism of the Lord we have entered into the liturgical time that we call “ordinary.” On this second Sunday, the Gospel presents to us the scene of the meeting between Jesus and John the Baptist at the Jordan River. The narrator is the eye witness, John the Evangelist, who, before he was a disciple of Jesus was a disciple of the Baptist, together with his brother James, with Simon and Andrew, all are from Galilee, all are fisherman. So, John the Baptist sees Jesus, who steps forward from the crowd and, inspired from above, sees in Jesus the one sent by God. For this reason he points him out with theses words: “Behold the lamb of God, he who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29).

Weekly Prayer: We pray for those who have left the Church may they soon have the gift of conversion leading them back to receiving the sacraments, placing Christ in their hearts and putting their trust in God.
