Celebrating the Year of St Joseph

Welcome Back!
After a year of uncertainty, all of us at St. Joseph Parish would like to Welcome You Back to Mass and Parish Activities!

To celebrate the return to in-person Mass and Parish Activities we had a Kick-Off celebration the weekend of June 5 & 6.  After Saturday Mass we gathered in the Parish Hall to celebrate with cheese, crackers and cake. Sunday morning our Knights of Columbus served us their delicious Pancake Breakfast.

Many more activities are planned for this summer and beyond! Watch for more information to come. We are so excited to see you and be able to Welcome You Back to our St Joseph Family in person!

Blessings!

Fr. Jose Millan

Join us for Mass!

After consultation with the Priest Council, the bishops of the Northwest, and after reviewing the recent guidelines by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, I have decided that the general dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation is no longer necessary.  With widespread access to vaccine and a resulting drop in hospitalizations, we have moved beyond the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

The obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days is to be reinstated throughout the Diocese of Spokane beginning with the Vigil Mass for Corpus Christi on June 5 ^th.   As has always been the case, those who have a serious reason are exempt from the obligation to attend.  This includes those who continue to have significant fear of contracting COVID-19 as well as those who are ill, living with significant health risk factors, or those who provide care for another individual who has serious health challenges.
