ENROLL YOUR CHILD IN A BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL Saint Joseph School accepts students from 3 years old to Grade 8. Registration is ongoing. Call for more information or to 4 arrange a visit. 2 When grieving the loss of a loved one, individuals may feel overwhelmed and lonely. Adapting to life after the death of a loved one often takes more time than we expect. Recognizing that by virtue of our baptism into the Christian faith we are called by Jesus to minister to one another, our parish community of Saint Joseph will offer a Bereavement Support Group led by Sister Josefina Morales and Kurt Strobach for our brothers and sisters who have lost a loved one through death. (Parishioners from other churches are also welcome.) The purpose of the group is to provide opportunities for mutual healing in a confidential, educational and spiritual environment. The group will meet for 8 weeks on Fridays (7:00-9:00 pm) from September 15-November 3. If you would like to participate or if you need more information, please contact our parish secretary Gerry at SUPPORT FOR SEPARATED AND DIVORCED CATHOLICS STARTS SEPTEMBER 18 Our Healing Ministry for the Separated and Divorced will begin on Monday, September 18 at 7:30 pm in the Jackson Room (lower church Harrison St. entrance). The twelve week DVD/discussion program, which requires pre-registration, is based on the teachings of the Catholic Church, and is open to anyone dealing with separation or divorce who would like to receive comfort, counsel, clarity, and most especially to feel God's peace and compassionate love. Annette Ziegler, our facilitator has a great deal of experience working with people. She has been a Catholic School teacher, served as a volunteer catechist and as Director of Religious Education in both the Archdioceses of Newark and New York. She has worked in Adult Faith Formation and in RENEW.

Annette wants to emphasize that all sharing within the support group is completely confidential.

3 TWENTY THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ~ SEPTEMBER 10, 2017 Certain numbers are very significant in our Catholic religion, among them the number seven, which stands for a kind of fullness, just as a full week is made up of seven days. And so the Book of Genesis describes God s work of creation as spanning seven days, the first six of which the Lord devotes to producing the rich variety of his designs, while on the seventh day he rests a consideration that explains our Sabbath worship. We also have seven sacraments (meant by Christ to extend his life in us), the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit (specified in Is 11, 2), the seven virtues (the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity mentioned by St. Paul in 1 Cor 13, 13 and the four cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance), the works of mercy (seven spiritual and seven corporal), and Jesus s seven last words spoken from the cross. And the list would not be complete without the seven sorrows (or dolors) of Our Lady, which are commemorated on September 15 s memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. The sorrows are traditionally enumerated as: 1. Simeon s prophecy that a sword of sorrow would pierce Mary s heart (Lk 2, 34-45). 2. The Holy Family s flight into Egypt to escape the peril of King Herod s murderous fear (Mt 2, 13-14). 3. The loss of the twelve-year-old Jesus after the Temple festival (Lk 2, 43-45). 4. Mary s encounter with Jesus as he carries his cross to Calvary (Lk 23, 26-27). 5. Mary s vigil as her crucified son draws near to his death (Jn 19, 25-27). 6. Mary s reception of the body of Jesus upon his death, unforgettably depicted in Michelangelo s Pieta sculpture (Mt 27, 57-59). 7. The burial of Jesus in the tomb provided by Joseph of Arimathea (Jn 19, 40-42) FROM THE PASTOR S DESK (continued above) Growth in devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows was largely the work of the order of Servites, so named because they sought to serve the ways of Mary. This was a community of unusual origins, founded (c ) by seven wealthy young men of Florence, three of whom were celibate and four married, including two who were widowers. After initially seeking to withdraw to a life of austerities and prayer, they eventually adopted a rule of life that drew upon the one established by St. Augustine, with certain borrowings from Dominican ways. Later, the community added an order of nuns and a third order of adherents who followed the main principles of Servite life while continuing in the lay state. As time went on, the Servites undertook significant charitable works and, especially after acquiring papal recognition, expanded to a number of countries as far away as India. The Seven Founders of the Servites were declared saints by Pope Leo XIII in Their feast day is Febraury 17. Msgr.
