Anointing Mass
Join us on Saturday, October 2 at 10:00 am for the celebration of the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick in our Worship Space. All are welcome to pray with those who are experiencing physical, emotional, or spiritual illness. Sacraments are meant to be celebrated within community, you are encouraged to attend this communal celebration and please bring family and friends with you. Perhaps you, a loved one, or someone you care for would benefit from the healing presence of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the prayer of faith, laying on of hands and anointing with oil. Those who are not fully mobile are asked to sit up front on the left side of center aisle, every other pew (with any family who attend). Those fully mobile, please sit on right side of center aisle up front. Please contact Barb Uschold Anderson, Pastoral Care Director at the parish office for any further information.

Year 1 Discipleship Retreat
Let us gather for a day of faith, fellowship, and fun. Retreats help us grow closer to God by stepping outside of our daily routine to focus on our faith and build a community of support. Our retreat theme is “God’s Dream for You” and includes talks, small groups, games, prayer, free time, and much more. We provide a lunch and snack during the retreat. This is the opening event for 9th Grade Faith Formation and participation is expected.
This retreat is on Sunday, October 3 here at St. Joe's from 11:15 am to 6:30 pm. To register please click here!

Updated Guidelines for Masses
We at St. Joseph of the Lakes continue to follow Archdiocesan and Minnesota Department of Health Guidelines for best practices regarding Covid-19 in celebrating the Mass and other operations here at St. Joe’s.
The mask mandate has been lifted. We recommend that those who have not been vaccinated or care for a person who is immunocompromised to continue to wear a mask for Mass. If you are ill or caring for someone who is ill, please continue to watch the Mass online as the dispensation from our Sunday Mass obligation is still in effect in these cases.
Our parish has returned to congregational singing and our priests and lay ministers are processing in at the beginning of Mass and out at the end of Mass. W have also returned to processing up for communion (Body and Blood) and social distance requirements in the pews are being relaxed. We will have sections of pews available for those who prefer to social distance.
If you have any questions regarding Covid-19 procedures here at St. Joe’s please contact Amy Moore at [email protected]
*By attending the 5:00 pm Mass on Saturdays you agree to be filmed for our recorded online Mass.
