What’s happening:
Solemnity of Joseph
Fr. Galens will be consecrating the parishes of Blessed Trinity and St. Patrick to St. Joseph on the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary, March 19, 2021. After the consecration of the parish, we will recite together a personal consecration for those who wish to consecrate themselves or to renew it if you already have done so.
To prepare for this consecration you are invited to join Fr. Galens in a 33-day spiritual program that will begin on Feb. 15th. The program can be found in Consecration to St. Joseph, The wonders of Our Spiritual Father by Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC. The 33 day program is not required in order to take part in the Consecration on March 19, but is highly encouraged because it will explain the meaning and purpose of a consecration to St. Joseph and help you come to a greater appreciation of St. Joseph and
his role in the life of the Christ and His Church.
If you wish to join us in the 33-day spiritual program, you will need to order a copy of the book by Fr. Calloway. Books can be ordered through: 1-800-462-7426 or visit fathercalloway.com or www.consecrationtostjoseph.org Or other book sellers such as Amazon or Catholiccompany.com

First Communion and First Penance Preparation
It’s time to register your children (grades 2 and up) for First Penance and First Communion. The sacraments will take place in May; exact dates and locations of classes and ceremonies will be announced at a later date. Registration forms are available at all 4 sites, on the parish website, and through the Church office. The deadline is February 15 th . Readiness for First Communion is an emotional, spiritual, and intellectual process. A child’s readiness is greatly influenced by the experience of participating in the liturgy each week with his/her family. Other readiness factors include:
- Desire for the Sacrament
- The ability to distinguish Eucharist from ordinary bread
- Willingness to continue life in the community after reception of the Sacrament
- Appropriate faith formation for a child’s age, including 2 years of consistent Parish – Religious Education classes or 2 years of attendance in a Catholic School
- Celebration of First Penance prior to receiving Eucharist
- Registered member of the Parish

Daily Prayer of the Month (February)
Heavenly Father,
We ask for the intercession of St. Blaise for cures of the throat and all ailments we face today. We solicit Your everlasting love on couples who celebrate on St. Valentine’s Day. This Presidents Day and always, we invoke Your Blessings and Guidance on the President and Congress as they make decisions which affect us all. We pray for the Holy Father, Pope Francis, who succeeds in the Chair of St. Peter.
This Lent, may we solemnly and prayerfully prepare for the Passion and Resurrection of Your Son, Jesus. We recall Our Lady of Lourdes and celebrate Candlemas: Our Lady’s Purification, Jesus’ first entry into the Temple and the Presentation of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We confidently petition in His name, Amen.
An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if
You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen
Prayer During A Health Crisis
Compassionate and Loving Father,
In the face of confusion and concern impart to us the calm of your presence.
In You allow us to find hope and healing.
Be with those who serve the sick and give them Your caring hands.
Be with those who lead and give them Your Spirit of wisdom.
Be with those who have fallen ill and give them Your comforting heart.
Wrap your arms around our world and hold us in your love.
Allow us at this time of trial to then serve as instruments of that love to all we meet.
We ask this in Your Name.
Amen.
