Do You Want To Know Why We Are Smiling At St. Joseph's?

Spend 10 minutes at this Web site and we hope you'll find out!

On Sunday, June 28th, Bishop Anthony Kopka offered his final Holy Mass as Pastor of St. Joseph's Parish.

On July 1st Bishop Kopka moved to Chicago, Illinois to become the Diocesan Bishop of the Western Diocese of the PNCC and the Pastor of All Saints Cathedral Parish.

On July 1st Bishop Thomas J. Gnat, Diocesan Bishop of the Eastern Diocese, assumed the pastorate of St. Joseph's Parish.  He will lead the process of finding a new pastor and will appoint a priest as pastor with the concurrence of the Parish Committee (board of directors) in accordance to the Constitution and Laws of the Polish National Catholic Church.

In the meantime Bishop Gnat will be scheduling priests to come to St. Joseph's to offer Holy Mass.  Please check "This Month" under "Our Calendar" in the lefthand margin to find out at what time and on what days worship will be offered at St. Joseph's of Stratford.
