Message from Father Paul:

Governor Kemp has declared a state of emergency. Some parishes are canceling Masses. Masses at St. Joseph's will be celebrated as scheduled, and if people are unable to attend, they are dispensed from their Sunday obligation. If there are no ushers, please place your offering envelopes in the parish mailbox. If there is no choir, the Mass will be celebrated without music. If there are no lectors, the priest will read the readings.

We will evaluate Monday's Adoration on Sunday morning.

Please take good care of yourselves this weekend!

Thank you very much!

Mensaje del Padre Paul:

El gobernador Kemp ha declarado el estado de emergencia. Algunas parroquias están cancelando las misas. Las misas en la iglesia de San José se celebrarán según lo programado, y si alguien no puede asistir, queda dispensado de su obligación dominical. Si no hay ujieres, por favor, depositen sus sobres de ofrendas en el buzón de la parroquia. Si no hay coro, la misa se celebrará sin música. Si no hay lectores, el sacerdote leerá las lecturas.

Evaluaremos la adoración del lunes el domingo por la mañana.

¡Cuídense mucho este fin de semana!

¡Muchas gracias!

While out preparing for our Mardi Gras Gala, Mrs. Hatcher and Mrs. Wentworth couldn’t pass up the chance to stop and say hello to Father Avery, a much-loved priest who once taught theology at Donovan.

Moments like these remind us what makes our community so special: faith, friendship, and connections that last long after graduation.

We’d love for you to be part of the celebration! Join us for an evening of fun, fellowship, and support for our school at the Mardi Gras Gala.
