St. Joseph of Arimathea Induction

Bishop Watterson’s St. Joseph of Arimathea Society held its induction during the All Saints’ Day Mass again this year.

The SJAS is a pallbearer society under the patronage of St. Joseph of Arimathea, the man who took the body of Jesus from the cross and placed it in his own new tomb. The group, now in its eighth year, consists of 26 young men — juniors and seniors — who have been trained and commissioned for this service of assisting at the burial of the departed.

The SJA Society has a monthly meeting to discuss issues, talk about experiences, and to pray for the faithful departed, especially those whom they have recently served.
