The Congregation of the Oblates of St. Joseph, located at 1880 Route 315, Laflin, is preparing for the annual Triduum and special Labor Day Mass honoring St. Joseph the Worker. A three-day preparation of Masses over the Labor Day weekend will be held August 30, 31 & Sept. 1 with Masses daily at 12 Noon in their chapel. Devotions to St. Joseph will be offered after Mass, especially for workers and the unemployed. A blessing with the first-class relic of St. Joseph Marello, Founder of the Oblate Order, will conclude the devotions. A special Mass is scheduled for Labor Day morning, Monday, Sept. 2nd , at 11:00 a.m., honoring the Patron Saint of Workers. Bread will be blessed and distributed following the Mass to all the faithful attending as a symbol of the fruit of our labor.
