VACATION BIBLE CAMP 2025
Registration Now Open for Vacation Bible Camp 2025!
August 4 - 8, 2025 | 9:00 am - 12:30 pm Daily
Hosted on our parish grounds
Children ages 5 to 11 are invited to join us for an unforgettable week of faith, fun, and adventure at this year's Vacation Bible Camp: True North!
This summer, kids will journey through an Alaskan Wilderness -- where the northern lights dance, mountains rise high, and glaciers sparkle. As they trek across this wild terrain, they'll discover how easy it is to lose sight of truth in today's world -- and how Jesus is our constant guide through it all.
At VBS: True North, children will learn that Jesus is our faithful friend, a steady compass we can always trust. Through interactive storytelling, music, crafts, games, and prayer, they'll deepen their faith while having an incredible time with new friends.
Register today!

Spots fill quickly -- don't miss this summer's most meaningful adventure!

$130.00 - 2 CHILDREN (SIBLING ONLY)

USCCB and War in the Holy Land
October 8, 2023
WASHINGTON – In response to the continued tensions and violence that erupted into warfare between Gaza and Israel on October 7, Bishop David J. Malloy of Rockford, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on International Justice and Peace, calls for prayers for peace in the Holy Land:
“On October 7, the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary, the world watched the operation launched from Gaza and the rapid call to arms from Israel that ensued. Almost 50 years to the day of the launch of the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, once again war is spilling out in the Holy Land. With it brings the mounting casualties and hostilities unfolding on all sides, and increased threats to the Status Quo of the Holy Places among Jews, Muslims, and Christians further dimming any hope for peace.
Join us for Eucharistic Adoration & Benediction Every Friday
St. Joseph the Worker Church has Eucharistic Adoration & Benediction every Friday of the month.
We invite you to be in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament every Friday from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm in the church.
Los invitamos a estar en la presencia del Santísimo Sacramento todos los viernes de 5:00 p.m. a 7:00 p.m. en la iglesia, seguido del Santo Rosario a las 7:00 p.m. y la misa en español los Primeros Viernes a las 7:30 p.m.
All are welcome. Todos son bienvenidos.
