2025 Parish Mission

Apocalypse Now? Preparing for the End Times with Faith and Hope

March 25-27, 2025 | 6:00-7:00 PM at St. Joseph

Curious about what the Bible says about the end of the world, and not just a Hollywood depiction? Join us for a three-day Lenten Mission series on the Catholic understanding of the End Times and the Book of Revelation – we’ll focus on the real message, and leave the zombies, monsters, and cataclysms for the big screen! In this engaging, easy-to-follow series, we’ll break down what Jesus actually taught about His Second Coming, what the Catholic Church believes about the Apocalypse, and why the Book of Revelation is actually a message of hope, victory, and God’s plan for good — not one of doom and gloom. Plus, we’ll show you how these teachings are relevant for your life today, not just the future.
 

Think of it as your Catholic guide to the End Times — just clear, relatable wisdom with a splash of humor. Don’t miss out — no doomsday prep required!"
