ST. HEDWIG’S KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS LOAVES & FISHES

St. Hedwig’s Knights of Columbus #7244 continues their annual Loaves & Fishes Food Drive at all Masses starting Saturday, February 21, 2026 and ending Sunday, March 29, 2026. All items collected are given to Catholic Charities and Mount Carmel. Only nonperishable food items. Thank you for your support and may God bless you and your family.

Solemnity of St. Joseph

Thursday, March 19th, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of St. Joseph. Chapter 53 in the Book of Blessings contains the blessing for St. Joseph's Table. This custom, which originated in southern Italy, can be an important tool for underscoring the major themes of the Lenten season. Although the meal is meatless, it is generous, and designed to feed those who are most in need. It is a time to set the table for the poor and the hungry, the stranger and the needy, remembering the time in which St. Joseph cared for Jesus and Mary through long travels in strange places.

Traditional Prayer to St. Joseph For Protection

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so prompt, so strong, before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord... Amen.

PENANCE SERVICE - SPOWIEDŹ WIELKOPOSTNA

In preparation for Easter, the sacrament of Reconciliation will be on Tuesday, March 24th, at 7:00 p.m. in the Church. Priests will be available to hear confession in both English and Polish.

Gorzkie Żale | Bitter Lamentations

During Lent, every Sunday after the 11:00 am Mass, we will sing GORZKIE ŻALE. It’s a beautiful Polish Lenten devotion. English speaking Parishioners who don’t understand Polish are cordially invited to be with us during this blessed time.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS

Every Friday at 7:00 pm (Polish - Church)
