7pm The Devotions
with discussion & questions

There’s a tradition of having devotions to St Joseph on the 7 Sunday’s leading to the Feast on March 19th. We’ve tried that here and Sunday afternoon hasn’t proved popular. One of the requests at our Synodal meetings was for more devotions. So now we are going to try Tuesdays.
