You heard it at Mass this past weekend. Father Joseph is a US citizen. Now, he says, everyone should be able to understand his homilies perfectly. Kidding aside, it takes a great effort and study to become a citizen and Father has worked very hard! Next time you see Father Joseph, give him your congratulations! Or, drop him a note to welcome him. He loves to receive your letters.

If you get a text from Father Joseph asking you for money or gift cards, it is a FRAUDULENT text. This text might have your personal name and a signature from Father Joseph. Do not open it. Do not respond. Delete it. Father will NEVER ask for money via text.

In light of that reality, and in spite of my great reluctance to do so, I am once more extending the General Dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days. This General Dispensation does not “dispense” us from the Third Commandment, and we must not allow the temporary lifting of the obligation to come to Mass from finding other significant ways to “Keep Holy the Lord’s Day”.
