St. Joseph Catholic Church will livestream one mass for the next three weeks. That mass will be the 11 a.m., mass on July 6, 13, and 20.
The 4:30 p.m., mass will not be shown on those weekends due to a shortage on help as John Barker, Jr., coordinator for livestreaming at the church, will be in California working a kids summer camp.
All parishioners who wish to view a livestreamed mass at St. Joseph can do so on Facebook, the church website (via YouTube) at the beginning of the service.
Please keep John in your prayers during his time of travel. He will be back Sunday, July 20.
