General Dispensation from Sunday and Holy Day Mass Obligation
This dispensation is removed for all Catholics within the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, effective January 2, 2022. The faithful should fulfill their Sunday and Holy Day obligations joyfully and conscientiously. However, the obligation to attend Mass on Sunday or a Day of Precept is not morally binding for those who find it impossible to attend Mass, e.g., due to illness, advanced age, caring for a sick person, or being at high risk for contracting COVID-19. These persons should fulfill their obligations through some act of prayer or meditation upon the sacred scriptures for the Mass of the day.

Rosary Garden Group's Monthly RosaryEvery month the Rosary Garden Group gathers to pray the Rosary in the Rosary Garden. All are invited to join in praying the living Rosary every Sunday following the 13th of the month. Why the 13th? Because in 1917 in Fatima, Portugal, our Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three young children on the 13th day of each month for six months. Our Lady’s message to all – a call for conversion, reparation for sins, and prayer. Fatima is a Church-approved, Private Revelation. Traveling Statue of Our Lady of FatimaSt. Joseph parishioners are invited to host the traveling statue of Our Lady of Fatima in their homes. Contact Jerry Ruffino, Ambassador of the Traveling Lady of Fatima for more information (630) 201-3291. |
