3 Weekly Offertory Offertory of 7/29/2018 $10, Monthly Offertory EFT/Credit Card 6.40% Total Building & Maintenance $2, Baptisms We welcome those who entered our Catholic faith through the waters of Baptism: Noah Tomas Richard Bear Jacob Richard New Staff Member I am happy to announce the creation of a new staff position in the parish. Beginning on August 20th, Deacon Denis LaCroix will serve as the new Director of Evangelization. The last three popes have challenged Catholics to re-direct our focus and attention outward, beyond the pews and beyond the rectory. The church s mission from the beginning has been to make disciples, to teach, and to baptize all nations. We can t simply wait for the nations to come to us. We have to move out, motivated by charity and gratitude for the graces we have received. Dearly Departed Our faith community remembers in prayer our dearly departed. We pray that they will find joy & peace in the Lord s presence. We extend our sincere sympathy to their families and friends. Kenneth Bordelon Accepting Lawn Bids St. Joseph Catholic Church will be accepting lawn maintenance bids until September 4th, 2018 for the church grounds, as well as cemeteries I & II. For a copy of the bid guidelines please contact Albert Johnson at the parish office ( ). Deacon LaCroix will primarily lead our efforts to reach out to new parishioners, to those who recently celebrated baptism, marriage, and confirmation. He will minister to grieving families, to those who need assistance with annulments, to all who find themselves on the edges of parish life. In doing so he will work closely with the Outreach committee, which has done great work in the last couple of years. I look forward to working with him and all of you as we heed the Lord s call to share the good news of the gospel. Altar Servers Reunion Recognize this past Altar Server? -Fr.

5 St. Joseph s is blessed to have three young men, who are lifelong parishioners, now in seminary. Yes, THREE! Nicholas Ware begins his 3rd year of priestly formation this fall. He completed pretheology studies in the spring and now begins his 1st year at the theology (graduate) level at Notre Dame in New Orleans. Evan Hebert and Matthew Molbert are both beginning formation in philosophy this fall at St. Joseph Seminary College in Covington. They are a reminder to us that Jesus truly lives and that he still guides his church. He will not leave us orphan. I could not be more proud of these courageous young men who are seeking to do God s will. Whether they continue on to ordination or not, they themselves, their families, and our parish will be abundantly blessed by their witness. Please join me in praying for them, encouraging, and supporting them. St. Joseph Seminarians -Fr. Bordelon Save The Date
