Weekend Liturgy

Courtyard brick pavers now available!

Please consider adding a brick paver to St. Joseph Parish's

Centennial Courtyard. Adding a paver to the beautiful display is a

wonderful way of honoring or memorializing a loved one; conveying

a message of hope or inspiration; sharing a verse of Scripture that is

special to you and leaving your family's legacy at the parish that

means so much to you.

The Centennial Courtyard is located between the school and the church.

Click here to print and complete the order form, which includes

additional information and price details. We will be placing orders in

the next few weeks. Thanks so much for your support!

Do you know any of these people?

Their lives were saved because people they never even met felt the desire in their hearts to give blood. Those pictured above, many others in our parish and countless people across the country are alive today because of the unsung heroes who took it upon themselves to give this precious gift.

You can make a difference and get some free ice cream!! A community blood drive is scheduled from 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. July 12 at St. Joseph Parish, Bradley. Give blood ... Give Life. Click here for details and pictures from previous drives.

Pope Benedict announces the Year for Priests

Pope Benedict XVI has declared this to be the year for priests. He intends

this year to encourage "spiritual perfection" in priests. The observance

officially began on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, July 19, and will

conclude on the feast next year. A priest has a 24/7/365 calling. During

this special celebration hold our priests in your prayers, celebrate the

sacraments with them, let them know that they are loved and

appreciated and pray that others will answer the Lord's call.

Fr. Burke Masters tells a powerful story of his conversion and call to the priesthood. The director of the Joliet diocesan Vocation Office celebrated Masses May 24 at St. Joseph Church. Click here to listen to his homily.
