Director of Religious Education

St. Joseph Catholic Church in Baytown has a job opening for Director of Religious Education.  This position will be responsible for Faith Formation Programs.  This is a 30 hour weekly, full-time position with benefits.  Interested persons may send a resume via email to frlee5528@yahoo.com.

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.
