St. Joseph Parish offers drive-in Mass for vulnerable parishioners

Every Sunday morning shortly before 7 a.m., cars begin arriving in the parking lots next to St. Joseph Church in Libertyville. But instead of getting out of their vehicles and heading inside the church for Mass, the people stay in their cars, tune their radios to 87.9 FM and get ready for the liturgy to begin.
