The Friday before Easter Sunday is designated by all Christians as "Good Friday" – the day that Jesus carried his cross to Calvary where He died for he sins of all. The Good Friday Cross Walks are a way for Christians to publicly affirm their belief and give witness to an event that is central to our faith. We walk to remind all of what happened on this day and bring awareness of the significance of the Cross.
St. Joseph Parish will be sponsoring a Cross Walk for all the Christians in Lincoln Park and beyond. Those walking will meet in the church parking lot on Friday, April 7th at 12 Noon to begin our Walk of Witness through town.

A SEASON FOR SLOWING DOWN
Rice Bowls will be collected on Sunday, April 2nd and on Good Friday, April 7th. A box will be in the back of church marked for the Rice Bowl collection. Please make a check payable to St. Joseph Church or submit cash for the amount you collected in your bowl. Thank you. (NO COINS PLEASE!! Please write a check to St. Joseph Church for the amount of coins collected.)

If you have a famly member or know of someone who is in the hospital or homebound and they would like to receive Holy Communion, please call Sr. Ellen at (973) 696-4411, etx. 3.

Because of privacy laws, the hospital does not contact us when a parishioner is admitted and therefore, we have no way of knowing.  Notifying us will enable us to visit our parishioners and bring them the sacraments.
