A message from the Rector and Board of the Shrine of St. Joseph
"As we welcome you back to the public celebration of Masses at the Historic Shrine of St. Joseph, we do so with the safety and health of everyone as the first priority and so we have put into place the Archdiocesan Protocols for Celebrating the Liturgy amid Covid19. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with these protocols, because though our churches are open for Masses things will not be as they were before the pandemic began. The health and well being of the people of God is first and foremost. This means that necessary changes to the way we are accustomed to gathering for liturgical celebrations are currently in effect.
In order to ensure proper social distancing the maximum number of people allowed in the Shrine is currently limited according to Local guidelines based on overall capacity. Shrine Ushers will be available at Mass to assist and help things to go as smoothly as possible and to ensure that the protocols are followed so that everyone can stay healthy and safe at liturgies. It has been a long and trying couple of months for everyone. Let us continue to pray to Our Lord for end to this pandemic, for all the sick and suffering, and for those who care for them."
- Fr. Dale Wunderlich and Board of the Shrine of St. Joseph
