Five First Saturdays DevotionStarting in September, for any Catholic wanting to follow the First Saturday Devotion, there will be a 9:00 am Mass at St. Joseph’s Church on Saturday morning (this is not the Sunday mass nor does it fulfill your Sunday obligation) with confessions following. This will be only on the first Saturday of each month for the next six months. 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.
