October is the month of the Rosary. We will be praying the Rosary twenty-five minutes prior to every weekend Mass this month. Please come early and join us in this beautiful prayer which our Blessed Mother has requested for us to pray daily.

Night at the Races is this Saturday, 10/16. Doors open at 6 PM and the races begin at 7 PM. Admission is $10 payable at the door, and and includes a light dinner, hors d'oeuvres, snacks, refreshments and BYOB. If you have questions, contact John at jlfitzpatrick83@gmail.com or 610-530-7728.

The crosses on the front lawn will be blessed this Sunday after the 9 AM Mass in honor of the 62 million babies who have died in U.S. abortions since 1973. Please come pray with us to end the sin of abortion through the conversion of the hearts of those who are involved.

Currently, we are looking for volunteers to help facilitate the program. We will need two adults with clearances each Sunday, to provide a guided reading to the children of our parish. It is our hope to have enough volunteers to run the program from November 7th through April 3rd . That will require 44 adults.  

We will hold a Zoom meeting on October 21st at 6:30pm to provide more information.

Please contact Marissa Asparro at mjasparro@gmail.com or Rose Hayward at rhayward@stjw.org for more information. Volunteer hours may be used toward school volunteer hours.

The Catholic Grandparents Association will be meeting on Tuesday, October 19th at 7 PM in the Parish Center. Our meeting will focus on November, which is dedicated to the Souls in Purgatory. Come pray, share, and be supported by other Catholic grandparents. If you prefer, contact Art to receive a Zoom link at garcia1047@ptd.net

St. Teresa of Avila, pray for us!

Dear God,

I believe that you have the ability to convert everyone at St. Joseph the Worker Church and I beg you to perform miracles in our lives that we will come to love you and never want to offend you.

I beg you to let us see our sins and run to the confessional, that the lines will be out the door.

Set the hearts of our priests on fire so that they burn with the desire for the conversion of every soul in the parish.

I implore you to make St. Joseph's a beacon in our diocese, that souls will be drawn by the holiness they find here.

I ask that you blind Satan to every parishioner, that they might have the space to know and love you without temptation.

I offer myself to you completely at whatever the cost.

Amen
