St. Joe set to close for renovation; final Mass scheduled

Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Jasper will start Phase III of the renovation project currently in progress on Monday, August 30.

Phase III is the interior work to repair, restore, and preserve the historic church. 

At 8 a.m. on Monday, everyone is invited to participate in the final Mass in the building prior to the start of Phase III.  At the end of that Mass, attendees are invited to join in a procession accompanying the Blessed Sacrament across the plaza into the Parish Center where adoration will continue till 9 a.m.

The entire community is invited to join.

Starting Saturday, September 4, Mass, Adoration, and other liturgical events will be celebrated in the updated Kundek Hall, inside the Parish Center. Doors will open 30 minutes before Mass times. The worship space will open for prayer at 7:30 a.m., Monday through Friday.

The essential work to the exterior of the building is progressing well. The contractors have been working to reverse the effect of more than 130 years of use and weather. Their efforts will help assure the future of Saint Joseph Church for generations to come.
