All in preparation for Easter weekend, we give heartfelt thanks to St. Joseph the Worker, the St. Joseph Cleaning Angels, and our Stewardship Committee for their faithful service and generous hearts. For the glory of God, these ministries came together to transform our school gym into a beautiful and reverent place for worship. As our church community continues to grow, we moved from the FLC to the school gym to better accommodate our parish family and the many ministries that gather with us in faith. What could have been just a change of space became something sacred, prayerful, and full of beauty because of their dedication. Through humble service, hard work, and love for the Church, they helped create a place not only for worship, but for continued growth in our faith community. We are deeply grateful for the hands and hearts that made it all possible. May God bless each of you abundantly for your servant hearts and for helping prepare the way for such a beautiful Easter weekend. ✝️

A special thank you to our incredible altar servers for your dedication, reverence, and service throughout Holy Week. From the solemn moments of Holy Thursday, to the sorrow of Good Friday, and the joy of Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday, you served with such grace, commitment, and love for the Church. Your presence at the altar helped make each liturgy beautiful, prayerful, and meaningful for our parish family. Thank you for your time, your sacrifices, and your willingness to serve Christ and His people so faithfully. We are so proud of each of you and deeply grateful for all the hard work you gave during this most sacred week. May God bless you always for your servant hearts. ✝️ St. Joseph Catholic Church Baytown

As we enter this Monday of Holy Week, we slow our hearts and turn our eyes to Jesus.
