ST. VINCENT DE PAUL CORNER This week we are in need of: Canned Fruit Low Sugar Cereal Paper Bags Thank you to all for your continued support to SVdP. There is also bin in the Church for food donations. WHAT IF YOUR PAYCHECK DIDN'T COME REGULARLY? Most of our parishioners are blessed with consistent and dependable paychecks. Yet, have you ever thought about how you would manage your bills and schedule your payments if you were never sure how much money you were going to have in your bank account. This is a problem that our parish faces every month. Weekly giving can fluctuate. While we are most grateful for any gift that any parishioner can give at any time, to help us maintain a more consistent cash flow, we have established an online giving program. It allows them to clearly budget the amount that they want to give back to God and helps them feel assured that their parish is receiving their gift even when they are out-of-town, too busy to remember an envelope, or attending Mass at another parish. If you would like to learn more about this easy, safe and secure way of giving, please contact the Parish Office 747-3100 or check out our website at https:// stjosephchurchtucson.weshareonline.org/ GIVE THANKS WHEN YOU SHOP... Be sure to thank the generous advertisers in our bulletin! Through their participation, St. Joseph receives our Sunday bulletin. Check out the On the Border Ad for a discount.

Several papal encyclicals speak of the social consequences, or the effects on society, which meditation on the mysteries of the Rosary produces. The holy and powerful life of Jesus Christ is a real antidote and remedy for the errors afflicting society. Our Lord's example and that of His Mother are brought before our mind's eye to be our encouragement and the sure path through life's joys and sorrows. We are teaming up again with the Catholic Daughters for Scriptural Rosaries on Sundays through the month of October at 3 p.m. in the parish chapel beginning Sunday, September 30. October is the month of the Holy Rosary and all are invited to join us in prayer as we recall Our Lady's desire for us to pray the Rosary and obtain its fruits, also known as virtues.

SCHOOL NEWS Guardian Angel Fund Saint Joseph's has 211 students in the school. This is wonderful news. Kathy van Loan and I do not want to refuse anyone a Catholic Education. There are some families that are large, and need your help. Even with scholarship money and making payments many find themselves overwhelmed. I am pleading to you to, be a Guardian Angel! I myself was sponsored throughout my Catholic School Education by a wonderful lady named, Colleen Newman, now deceased. My parents wouldn't have been able to pay the tuition for all 13 of their children if not for help from generous people like Colleen. Please call the school to ask how you can help, I would appreciate it greatly. Call Carolyn Johnson at the main office for information or call the school directly at 747-3060 and ask for Michele Hackett. God Bless you! Fr. Robert Rodriguez 2018-2019 CONTEST ONGOING UNTIL APRIL 19, 2019. RON HOUSE CHARITIES SoUTHERN ARIZOXA ST.JOSEF~ CATHOLIC SCHOOL POP TAB PANDEMONIUM The program can be used to teach students the principles of philanthropy, as well as math and estimating skills. NOT AGAINST US Like Moses before him, Jesus corrects his disciples' misunderstanding of the gift of the Spirit. They saw people who were not of their company casting out demons and doing other works such as Jesus had done. Jesus points out that no one who does a good deed in his name can be opposed to him at the same time. He goes on to point out the importance of the "little ones,": the poor, simple people, children, the meek ones who are not important in the world. It is to them that he was sent, not to the wealthy and the self-righteous. He underscores the importance of small works done in faith, as well as big works like driving out demons. "Anyone who gives you a cup of water... because you belong to Christ... will surely not lose his reward" (Mark 9:41 ). God builds the coming reign little by little in our actions, however small and unassuming, when they are done out of love of God and neighbor. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. lquien ESTA A NUESTRO FAVOR? Jesus, como Moises que estuvo antes que el, corrige los malentendidos de los discipulos sobre el don del Espfritu. Vieron a personas, que no eran parte de su grupo, echar demonios y hacer otros milagros como Jesus habi a hecho. Jesus serial a que nadie que hace milagros en su nombre puede luego hablar mal de el. Luego senala la importancia de la "gente sencilla": los pobres, las personas sencillas, los nirios, los humildes que no son importantes en el mundo. Es a ellos a quienes fue enviado, no a los ricos ni a los farisaicos. Jesus hace hlncapie en la importancia de las pequerias obras hechas con fe, de la misma manera que las grandes obras como echar a los demonios. "Todo aquel que les de a beber un vaso de agua... por el hecho de que son de Cristo... les aseguro que nose quedara sin recompensa" (Marcos 9:41 ). Dios construye el Reino por venir poco a poco con nuestras acciones, sin importar que sean pequerias o sencillas, si se las hace por amor a Dios y al pr6jimo. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
