The Wedding Feast - Pieter Brueghel the Younger (1564–1638)

Five First Saturdays Devotion

For Catholics wanting to follow the First Saturday Devotion, there will be a 9:00 am Mass at St. Joseph’s Church Saturday mornings with confessions starting in September and continuing on the first Saturday of each month for six months. This is not the Sunday mass nor does it fulfill your Sunday obligation.

​The sacramental confession can be received within twenty days either before or after the reception of Communion, as the Holy See’s Apostolic Penitentiary has decreed, provided the communicant is in a state of grace for Communion. Reception of Holy Communion must take place within twenty-four hours of the first Saturday. The fifteen minutes of meditation are in addition to the recitation of the Rosary.
