THIS SUNDAY, we celebrate the Ascension of Jesus to Heaven. We remember when Jesus, having left this world, reunites with the Father and seats at his right-hand side. But he has not left us alone. As he told his disciples in many occasions, the Holy Spirit is with us, always.
Even when we don’t hear his voice, the Spirit guides us as we pray, and by praying we give voice to our possible outcomes and are inspired to always make the decision that’s right for our future.

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.
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.
