In years past, to make it possible for the pastor of St. Joseph’s Chapel to have vacation time, Mass would be suspended for a month and attendees would have a Service of the Word, led by ley ministers.

With the increased number of visitors now attending St. Joseph’s throughout the year, Pastor Marco Lopez arranged for Father Alfonso Pucheta, from Mexicali, to provide services for St. Joseph’s and Sagrada Familia for the four weeks.

Bilingual Mass at St. Joseph’s will be at the same time, 9 a.m., with music, readings and the sermon in both Spanish and English. All are welcome.

To reach St. Joseph’s, take the paved road past the Sandy Beach Condos and the sand road past Wrecked at the Reef. As you wind toward Choya Bay, the church is on the right and clearly marked.

For information about services, contact Sexton Bob Keller by e-mail at bob@keller.net or by text or phone at 928-706-6928.
