This year's Vacation Bible School will be hosted by Little Blessings Preschool and Learning Center. Please contact Gina Walsh at Little Blessings for details and registration.

Spend some quiet time with the Lord. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at St. Joseph Church will be held Thursday mornings from 9AM to noon through the summer months. Our Lady of Lourdes continues to hold hours of Adoration following the 10AM Mass on Tuesdays until noon.

Welcome back to our summer residents! The summer schedule at St. Joseph Church will begin June 4th, with the additional Saturday evening Vigil Mass at 5:30pm. Our Sunday Mass continues to be held at 10AM, with cookies and lemonade to follow.

Distribution of Communion is offered to parishioners who are unable to attend Mass due to personal or family related health concerns and can be received after the Mass dismissal on Saturdays at OLOL from 5-5:15 and Sundays at STJ from 11:15-11:30. Receiving the Blessed Sacrament alone does not take the place of Sunday Mass. Parishioners who receive the Blessed Sacrament outside of the Mass should also prayerfully participate in the Liturgy by viewing a Live Stream or Recorded Mass at home. Please contact Father John if you have any additional questions.

The diocese would like to invite men who are considering a vocation to the priesthood to an evening of prayer, conversation with the Vocations Team and dinner. There will be evenings for different age groups and they will take place at the Joseph House at 279 Cartier St in Manchester. Please RSVP to Becky Vinson at rvinson@rcbm.org or 663-0153 if you would like to attend. October 5: high school - age 14-18; October 19: young men - age 19-24; November 2: older men - age 25+
