Mass Intentions Available for the Latin Mass

We presently have no requests for the 1:00 PM Traditional Latin Mass. To schedule a Mass intention for someone, living or deceased, please drop your intention along with a stipend of $10.00 per Mass in the collection at Mass, or mail to St. Joseph Church, 440 St. Joseph St., Lancaster PA 17603. Please mark the envelope Mass Intentions c/o Amanda. Requests may also be emailed to [email protected]. Requests for a specific date may be requested up to one year from the current date and will be honored when possible.

Can You Give a Few Hours Each Week?

Volunteer help is needed to clean and straighten the pews in the upper church each week.

Duties include using Swiffer cloths to dust the floors, straightening the hymnals in the pews, and vacuuming the carpet in the sanctuary. Time involved is about two hours each Monday morning between 9:00 and 11:00 am. If you are able to help with this ministry, please contact Walt Legenstein at 717-468-2258 or [email protected] or Claire at the rectory 717-397-6921 ext. 219.   If you are unable to come every week, you are still welcome to come when you can.

Adult Singers Needed

With the resumption of the Missa Cantata (Sung Mass) after our summer break the TLM choir is looking to recruit adult singers for the choir. There is a need to augment our young female choir voices with older/experienced singers. A choir with more vocal depth gives us the opportunity to sing sacred music from the vast treasury of Catholic church music with Gregorian chant always taking “pride of place”. If you are interested- even thinking about- giving your voice to “ad Laudem et Gloria Dei” (to the praise and glory of God) please contact:

Philip Crnkovich (choir director) at [email protected] or see him after Mass.
