CHRIST OUR HOPE:BUILDING A VIBRANT CHURCH
Philippians 4:19: “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Parishioners continue to offer support for The Christ Our Hope: Building a Vibrant Church campaign. We apologize for the delay some of you may have experienced with the delivery of campaign materials because of postal service delivery schedules.
As you receive materials and begin to contemplate how you can help, please review the gift chart on page 11 of the case statement for guidance. Remember, a successful campaign provides great benefits to St. Joseph Cathedral. Most of the funds, 60%, will return to our parish allowing us to address our needs.- (1) Physical repair of the church building (window repair and repointing the mortar on the outside stone)
- (2) Build a columbarium at New Mount Calvary Cemetery for cremation burials.
- (3) Replace the floor in the Parish Hall
- (4) Support for Joseph House programs.
The Diocese will direct the remaining dollars into two endowments, including one to support Catholic education. Our school system educates roughly 2,000 students yearly. Some families need tuition assistance. Funding an endowment to support education allows us to continue to offer financial support to those who need it.
Our volunteers will continue with outreach calls to discuss the campaign and answer your questions. Once you identify your gift, please complete and return your pledge form or give online by visiting this website.
Fr. Lance W. Harlow Rector

Our Bulletin

Message from Bishop Christopher Coyne to parishioners regarding the resuming of the celebration of Mass:
“It is with an abundance of joy and gratitude that I announce the first phase of the reopening of our churches to celebrate daily and Sunday Mass beginning June 1.
The obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains lifted until further notice, especially if you are part of a vulnerable population and/or have an underlying health condition.
- Please approach the celebration of Mass with charity and love for our clergy and faith community by following the protocols:
- Stay home if you are sick or not feeling well.
- Wear a mask in Mass.
- Sanitize your hands upon entry. Due to shortages of sanitizer, please bring your own if possible.
- Sit in designated pews and respect social distance between others of 6 feet or more unless you are one family unit.
- Refrain from congregating in tight areas or entering cordoned off areas.
- Follow the protocols to receive Holy Communion as directed at Mass.
- Follow your church protocols regarding registration if necessary due to the 25% capacity limit.
For more details about church protocols visit: vermontcatholic.org/covid-19
While these protocols are intrusive, they are necessary as they allow us to celebrate the Sacraments in person while doing our part to help stop the spread of coronavirus.”
