The Solemnity of Saint Joseph & Fatima Statue Devotion

The Solemnity of Saint Joseph is on March 19th, and this year, it will be a two-part celebration. Because our parish hall is used during the week for the St. Joseph Spectrum Warming Shelter, the social part of the feast will be celebrated on Sunday, March 15th after the 10 AM Mass. There will be a special coffee hour/pot luck brunch. We are requesting that each family attending bring a hot dish or dessert to share. We hope to receive a variety of ethnic foods from our diverse community as well as many beloved American dishes from our parish families. There will be a sign-up sheet in the Parish Hall at the coffee hour this weekend. If you want to sign-up and did not have the opportunity, please call Dot Commo at (802) 863-5678. We hope as many parishioners as possible will come in order to make this a true parish celebration of our Patron, Saint Joseph! The devotional portion or our celebration will take place on the actual feast day, March 19th. Please see the notice below for details. We hope as many people as possible will attend both the social and devotional parts of this great feast!The Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima will visit the Cathedral of St. Joseph from Saturday, March 7 to Saturday, March 21.
