MASS BOOK FOR 2012
The Mass Book for 2012 is open. Arrangements
for daily and weekend Masses may be made in the Parish Office each weekday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Consider remembering your
loved ones or a special intention with a Mass at St. Joachim’s Church. There is a $10.00 stipend for each Mass requested.
 Through
this sacrament the Church cares for the sick. It serves Christ himself in the suffering members of his Mystical Body. The
Church shows this concern not only by visiting those who are in poor health, but also by raising them up through this sacrament
during their illness or when in danger of death.
On the last Sunday
(and the Saturday Vigil of that Sunday) of every month, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will be celebrated after
EACH Mass.
After Mass, please move forward to the first pew/row
in the center of the church/chapel and Father Wetzel will return to administer the sacrament to you. If you are suffering
from a physical illness, just diagnosed or long-term, going into the hospital for a procedure or suffering from an emotional
or spiritual illness, please take advantage of the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.
