Communion
Our Christmas celebrations will be the last time we have communion under both species. We will be discontinuing the cup because of the difficulty in getting enough ministers, and the need to call on some of the same people almost on a weekly basis.
Monthly First Friday Holy Hour And Mass For Vocations
The monthly First Friday Holy Hour For Vocations will take place at St. Joachim’s on Friday, December 5th, from 11am – 12:30pm. The Holy Hour begins at 11am and will consist of exposition, adoration, and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament; concluding with 12 noon Mass.

Religious Education
Religious Education classes restart at Saint Joachim’s this weekend after a one-year absence. The return of Religious Education for our youth is very important to the life of our parish. We would like to thank our new coordinator, Natalie Ouellette, and all of the teachers and helpers who have agreed to give of their time each week working with the children of the parish. We would also like to take the opportunity to thank Mary Ellen Gallery for her efforts in organizing the return of the program to Saint Joachim’s this year.
