People in need of insight, guidance and perspective need look no further than the Lord, according to a release from St. Josephโ€™s Catholic Church.

โ€œDuring this time of instant gratification and โ€œwhatโ€™s in it for me,โ€ itโ€™s good to some times just step back and reflect on all thatโ€™s going on in our busy lives, whether it be work, high school, college, or just trying to maintain our sanity,โ€ wrote Brenda Zumwalt in an email. โ€œFr. Pompei will take us down the path of life.โ€

Father Francis Pompei and St. Josephโ€™s Church in Oswego invite all to join them in a parish mission. The mission will begin at 7 p.m. on Feb. 26-28 and last roughly one hour and 10 minutes. Plans for the ceremony include prayer, readings, talk and โ€œa concluding ritual of experiencing the Lord.โ€

The church is located at 240 W. First St. in Oswego.

โ€œAll are welcome and encouraged to attend the mission,โ€ said the release. โ€œTo share in โ€˜a powerful experience of Jesus.โ€™โ€
