St. Joseph's is home to 1,174 parishioners who are registered and home to those who attend our parish but are not registered. All are welcome at St. Joseph's!

I am requesting that those parishioners who have not contributed to DMF 2018 to please do so. If we do not fulfill our goal of $ 88,572.00, we will have to take this out of our budget.

LISTENING AND RESPONDING There are three interwoven themes in today s readings: listening to God, faith vs. good works, and losing our life in order to find it. How are they related? The Suffering Servant of Isaiah undergoes much distress and ridicule, but is able to bear it because he has listened to the promptings of God day after day. The psalm tells us that God listens, too. God hears our prayers for help and is always ready to save us. As our faith deepens, so does our desire to do the works of justice and charity that build up the reign of God. God directs our actions in ways we often cannot see, and we don t always see the results. We are called upon in faith to trust that what we do is enough, and that willingness to listen to God s promptings will lead us in the right way. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. PROPER POSTURE It is impossible for the Church to remain on its feet if it doesn t get on its knees. Anonymous
