Each Lent we are encouraged to meditate on the Passion of Christ by walking and praying the Stations of the Cross. “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily...
Holy Family Parish & St. Joseph’s Church will bring back a lost but cherished tradition; the blessing of the Easter Baskets. Father Slezak will bless the baskets on Easter Sunday after each Mass on April 9th.
Join us for a Feast of Mercy on April 16th. Divine Mercy Sunday is perhaps God’s greatest gift for our time.

According to Divine Mercy Productions, one may receive the Sacrament of Confession, also known as Reconciliation, twenty days before or after Divine Mercy Sunday. Here’s the schedule: 2:00 PM - Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament 2:15 PM-2:45 PM. Confessions Begin Meditations read from the Diary of Saint Faustina 3:00 PM.

PALM SUNDAY MASS TIMES: St. Joseph Church, Dolgeville - Sunday 8 a.m. Holy Family Parish, Little Falls - Sunday, 10 a.m. & 12 p.m. Marking the beginning of an end, Palm Sunday is, undoubtedly, an important day in the history of Christianity. Much can be said about the occasion, from its historical significance to what it has implied in religious terms and such. We take you back to those times when religious miracles abounded. At its basic, Palm Sunday marks Jesus’ victorious entry into Jerusalem. He entered riding a donkey and the people welcomed him using palm fronds. They laid down the leaves (and their own cloaks too!) on the ground as Jesus entered the city. Some accounts also state that Jesus held some of the palm fronds in his hand and waved these as he passed by. Jesus’ return to the city also fulfilled Prophet Zachariah’s prophecy that the Messiah will return and bring glad tidings for Jerusalem’s people. When Jesus was entering the city, many also shouted, “Hosanna!”—which means “God saves” or “Save now.” The people saw him as the king and ruler of the city, many already aware of his being able to perform miracles like raising the dead and speaking during infancy.
