Pope Francis has proclaimed a Year of St. Joseph in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as patron of the Universal Church. In order to mark this event, the Diocese of Erie is hosting a virtual pilgrimage featuring livestreamed Masses from each of the seven churches in the diocese named for St. Joseph. The Masses will take place between now and the end of the year, with the first stop of the pilgrimage scheduled on the feast of St. Joseph on March 19 at 7 p.m. Father Larry Richards, pastor, and the people of St. Joseph/Bread of Life Parish invite everyone to participate in the Mass via Fr. Larry's Youtube Channel. Bishop Lawrence Persico will be principal celebrant for this first step of the journey. Watch for details about the rest of the events scheduled in the coming months.
