On Sunday, December 27, 2020, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the Inauguration of the Year of the Domestic Church in the Diocese of Austin, under the patronage of St. Joseph. Throughout the next year, we will focus on twelve monthly themes with accompanying resources. No matter whether your household is a home of one person or a family of many, we are all called to bear witness to and share the Gospel with our families and within our households. These monthly themed items will be ready to for parishes to utilize, implement or share on the first Friday of the previous month. We ask for the intercession of St. Joseph that we may we experience the merciful love of God throughout the next year as we grow in faith in our household, personal and parish family.

Pope Francis has proclaimed Dec. 8th as the beginning of “The Year of St. Joseph.” He describes St. Joseph as a beloved father, a tender and loving father, an obedient father, an accepting father; a father who is creatively courageous, a working father, a father in the shadows. We want to bring St. Joseph out of the shadows and place a statue in his honor in our sanctuary. To that end, we have ordered 48” statues of St. Joseph and of Our Lady of Grace. If you would like to help offset the cost, approximately $1,500, you can donate online or drop an envelope in the collection and label it “STATUES.”Donate online HERE. Thank you for your generosity, and we hope you love the new additions to our worship environment!
