This annual retreat focusing on the passion death and resurrection of Jesus allows each person to hear Christ’s call and to experience a spiritual renewal or conversion and encourages a closer relationship with Christ and fellow retreants.

The Eucharist is the source and the summit of who we are as a Catholic people. Each Friday from 6:30 am until 5:15 pm our church is open for devotion and personal prayer with Jesus and the exposed sacrament. You can sign up for a particular hour for adoration throughout the day or come as your schedule permits.

Small Groups is where our large church gets small. Groups consist of 6-12 people who meet weekly or bi-weekly to discuss and share faith, go deeper with Jesus through the weekend gospel, the message and a video reflection, as well as supporting one another in their relationship with Christ. This is the place to care for others and be cared for; a place to impact our community and the world. Small Groups are a great place to explore, ask questions, and grow.

For more information contact Rick Rhodes by phone or text at 270-302-6982 or ricksjpc@yahoo.com.

Jesus was baptized and taught his Apostles to do likewise. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons and daughters of God. We become members of the Body of Christ as we are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission. We can’t wait to welcome your child into the life of Christ and our Church through Baptism. The celebration of infant baptism ordinarily takes place on Sundays during mass or following the 4:30pm mass on Saturday or the 10:00am or 6:00pm mass on Sundays. Formation of parents and godparents is important.

For more information or to schedule a Baptism Contact Debbie Luedke, Sunday Matters Minister at 270-683-5641 Ex. 242 or by email at debbiesjpc@owens.twcbc.com

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is about the mercy of Jesus Christ. Honestly confessing our sins reconciles us to God and restores us to his grace and intimate friendship. Confession breaks the power of shame and hurt of sin, and restores and revitalizes our relationships within the community of faith in the life of our Church.

Reconciliation is celebrated communally at Sts. Joseph and Paul during Advent and Lent. Reconciliation is also scheduled Thursdays at 6pm & Fridays at 12 noon or anytime by appointment by contacting either Fr Carl McCarthy at 270-683-5641 ext. 222 or by email at frcarl@stjpc.org or Fr. Julio Barrera at 270-683-5641 ext. 236 by email at frjuliosjpc@gmail.com

First Reconciliation is celebrated prior to a child receiving First Eucharist.

Since the time of the Apostles, Christ has personally called forth some men to dedicate their lives ministering to the People of God in the service of the Church as priest.

The Sacrament of Holy Orders consecrates Christian men in service to God. These servants of the Church are blessed with spiritual power and grace that enable them to proclaim the message of God’s love, to lead and govern the Christian community, and to reach out in service to the world.
