Today is traditionally called "Laetare Sunday," a name derived from the first words of the proper entrance antiphon, "Rejoice, Jerusalem."
St. Hedwig’s Knights of Columbus #7244 continues their annual Loaves & Fishes Food Drive at all Masses starting Saturday, February 21, 2026 and ending Sunday, March 29, 2026.

Thursday, March 19th, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of St. Joseph. Chapter 53 in the Book of Blessings contains the blessing for St. Joseph's Table. This custom, which originated in southern Italy, can be an important tool for underscoring the major themes of the Lenten season. Although the meal is meatless, it is generous, and designed to feed those who are most in need. It is a time to set the table for the poor and the hungry, the stranger and the needy, remembering the time in which St. Joseph cared for Jesus and Mary through long travels in strange places.
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so prompt, so strong, before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord... Amen.
In preparation for Easter, the sacrament of Reconciliation will be on Tuesday, March 24th, at 7:00 p.m. in the Church. Priests will be available to hear confession in both English and Polish.
During Lent, every Sunday after the 11:00 am Mass, we will sing GORZKIE ŻALE. It’s a beautiful Polish Lenten devotion. English speaking Parishioners who don’t understand Polish are cordially invited to be with us during this blessed time.
Every Friday at 7:00 pm (Polish - Church)
In his prayer intention for March, Pope Leo invites us to pray that nations lay down their weapons, adopt diplomacy and justice, and seek true security founded on trust and solidarity among peoples.
