The Congregation of the Oblates of St. Joseph continued its annual Triduum today honoring St. Joseph the Worker.
The three-day preparation of Masses over the Labor Day weekend are being held Aug. 29, 30 & 31 with Masses to be celebrated daily at 12 Noon in their chapel.
Devotions to St. Joseph will be offered after Mass, especially for workers and the unemployed. A blessing with the first-class relic of St. Joseph Marello, Founder of the Oblate Order, will conclude the devotions.
A special Mass is scheduled for Labor Day morning, Monday, Sept. 1st, at 11:00 a.m., honoring the Patron Saint of Workers. Bread will be blessed and distributed following the Mass to all the faithful attending as a symbol of the fruit of our labor.
Serving as celebrant and homilist for this year’s Labor Day Mass will be Father Joseph D. Sibilano, O.S.J. as he celebrates this year his 60th anniversary of Priesthood. Fr. Sibilano founded this annual spiritual event at the Oblates in 1983.
The Triduum Masses and Labor Day morning will be broadcast live on JMJ Catholic Radio 104.5 FM. For further information, contact the main office at (570) 654-7542 or email: osjseminary@comcast.
