Stewardship Note: “As the Lord spoke to me, the spirit entered me and set me on my feet and I heard the one who was speaking say to me, ‘Son of man, I am sending you . . . .”’ God asks each of us to do some special work for Him. He gives us the resources we need to do His work. However, do we listen to God when He calls? Do we get up on our feet and give our talent to do the work He asks of us? Remember, God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips the called. FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME July 5, 2015 My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness. - 2 Corinthians 12:9 FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST Mark’s Gospel account today is built on a double astonishment or amazement: the neighbors and family of Jesus are astonished that he taught in the synagogue with wisdom and worked powerful signs. Jesus, in turn, is amazed that they have no faith in him because they know his origins, not because of any fault with his teaching or ministry. As with many of Mark’s passages, we get a rather intimate glimpse here of the human part of Jesus’ two-fold nature. To reinforce his point, Mark tells of Jesus’ return to his native place and further points out that he is in the midst of his own family members there. From the very people he expected the most, Jesus received the least. In the day of the Gospel’s writing, Mark was attempting to illustrate a lesson to the house of Israel: the God of the covenant expected the greatest faith from the house of Israel, but often received the least. This is a good source for reflection on our part, we who are Jesus’ followers today. For the wisdom of Christ to continue and for our lives to be seen as signs of his power, he must expect and be able to find great faith among us. Will he? Can he? Does he? Or is he, once again, amazed by its absence? This week’s second collection is for Parish Obligations to the Diocese. Next weekend’s second collection is designated for Higher Energy and Utility Costs. I-25 Club Winner for 15th week #188 Marilyn Ceppetelli SHARING OUR BLESSINGS-June 28, 2015 Weekly $ 4963 (including $302 in loose money); (Parish Obligations to the Diocese $13; Fuel $115; Peter’s Pence Collection $698.75 (including $174.75 in loose money) Weekly Budget $7000 DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY Sunday, July 5th, the first Sunday of July is dedicated to the Divine Mercy when we gather at our Basilica at 3:00pm for the recitation of the Chaplet followed by Benediction. We are all in dire need of God’s goodness, love and mercy. All parishioners and friends are asked to set aside an hour on this special day to ask our Lord for his needed graces in our lives. St. Vincent de Paul Society Message - In today’s Gospel people ask: “How is it such miraculous deeds are accomplished by his hands?” Because of your gift to the Society many “miraculous deeds” are accomplished for the poor. Please put a gift in the St. Vincent de Paul poor bin, (in the Emmaus Center) knowing that through your kindness someone who is suffering will be touched by God in a miraculous way. Page 3 NOVENA AND DEVOTION TO ST. JOSEPH We ask parishioners and friends to join us on Wednesday, July 8th at 7:00pm for our weekly devotion and novena to our Patron. St. Joseph is known as the patron, protector and provider to all classes of Christians--particularly to the poor and to religious communities, to families of laborers, of the sick, of the poor, of the rich (to help them distribute their possessions charitably and to help them attain the riches of Heaven), of the suffering and travelers to name just a few. We all require the assistance of St. Joseph for our personal wants. The Knights of Columbus will be in attendance to carry the St. Joseph statue from the Our Lady of Czestochowa Chapel to the Sanctuary. Please note your intentions on slips provided in the Chapel to be read during the devotion. We welcome your offerings. FRIDAY NIGHT BINGO What are your plans for Friday night July 10th? You and your family and friends are invited to join us for Friday Night Bingo in the St. Joseph School cafeteria. Doors open at 5:00pm and games begin at 6:45pm. We serve a varied menu of light refreshments including pastries and free coffee. Every week we hold a special progressive game which increases in value until we declare a winner.

ANNE SOCIETY - is beginning their Annual Membership Drive this weekend. The membership of this society pledges to serve God and to participate in the mission of the Church by taking an active part in the spiritual functions at St. Joseph Basilica. St. Anne Society is enrolling the newly baptized into the care of St. Anne. Pictures of the baptized child are placed in a special book with vital information and placed at the altar of our Blessed Mother. The Society prays for the individual to enjoy God’s blessings. We ask parents to peruse the book to make certain that your child’s information is included. We ask all ladies to become members, but especially new mothers and grandmothers. If you would like to become a member of our organization, please call Diane Gajewski at (860)935-5755 or Genevieve Lariviere at (508)943-1781. TIPS FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE Communication is not automatic-but it is vital to a good marriage and good communication takes time, patience and practice to develop. Family history, temperament, gender, personality and experience all impact a couple’s communication patterns and couples need to take time to understand these factors and patterns. As a couple’s schedule becomes more crowded by jobs, kids and responsibilities in and outside of the home, it can become easy to overlook time for communication. Make some time to talk—and listen—daily. 1-25 Club Update - the next Banquet will be held on Saturday, September 12th after the 4:00pm Mass in the school hall.

KRONIKA PARAFIALNA CZTERNASTA NIEDZIELA ZWYKŁA 5 lipca 2015 „Wystarczy ci mojej łaski. Moc bowiem w słabości się doskonali” (2Kor 12, 9) Ludziom wierzącym, żyjącym w zgodzie z przykazaniami, czasem może się wydawać, że są wystarczająco dobrzy i gorliwi. Jest to naturalne, że dotykając granic naszych własnych możliwości, stwierdzamy, iż lepszymi już się nie staniemy. Jednocześnie brakuje nam wiary, że Bóg może i chce nas dalej przemieniać. Czasem trzeba bardzo boleśnie doświadczyć swojej słabości, aby z pokorą przyjąć Jezusowe słowa niosące nam uzdrowienie i przemianę serca. Prośmy dziś o wiarę, byśmy mogli zaznać mocy, jaką niesie Dobra Nowina. KORONKA DO MIŁOSIERDZIA BOŻEGO Jak w każdą pierwszą niedzielę miesiąca gromadzimy się dziś w naszej Bazylice na Koronce do Miłosierdzia Bożego. Wszyscy potrzebujemy Bożej dobroci, miłości i Miłosierdzia. W czasie letnim, kiedy mamy niejednokrotnie więcej czasu dla siebie, postarajmy się również zadbać i o sferę duchową naszego życia. Zaprośmy naszych bliskich i przyjaciół do lepszego zgłębienia tajemnicy miłosiernej miłości naszego Zbawcy. Page 5 Dzisiejsza druga kolekta jest przeznaczona na Zobowiązania Diecezjalne. Druga kolekta w przyszłą niedzielę będzie przeznaczona na pokrycie kosztów utrzymania i energii. NOWENNA DO ŚW. JÓZEFA Zapraszamy wszystkich parafian oraz czcicieli św. Józefa na naszą środową Nowennę do naszego Patrona. Św. Józef jest szczególnym Patronem, gdyż przewodzi i patronuje wszystkim Chrześcijanom, szczególnie zaś wspiera ubogich wspólnoty religijne, zamożnych, ucząc ich jak mądrze zarządzać dobrami ziemskimi, tak by zgromadzić skarby w niebie, pomaga cierpiącym, podróżującym oraz wielu innym grupom społecznym. W najbliższą środę w procesji z figura św. Józefa idą Rycerze Kolumba. BINGO Nie masz planów na najbliższy piątkowy wieczór? Zapraszamy Cię z bliskimi i przyjaciółmi na Bingo w naszej szkole. Rozpoczynamy o 19:00 w szkolnej kafeterii. Drzwi otwieramy już o 17:00. Dla uczestników dostępne różnorodne przekąski oraz darmowa kawa. Każdego tygodnia do wygrania nagroda „progressive”, której wartość wzrasta, aż do wylosowania zwycięzcy. Serdecznie zapraszamy. ZNALEZIONO TELEFON W czasie Festiwalu został znaleziony na terenie kuchni telefon marki Samsung. Można go odebrać w biurze parafialnym. Przy okazji informujemy, że wszystkie rzeczy znajdowane w kościele są zwykle przynoszone do zakrystii, gdzie czekają na swoich właścicieli. NOWENNA DO ŚW. ANNY Sanktuarium św. Anny w Fiskdale zaprasza na 128 Nowennę do św. Anny, w dniach od 18 do 26 lipca. W programie Nowenny przewidziano elementy liturgii i kultury z różnych stron świata, m.in. z Afryki, Azji, Haiti, krajów latynoskich i Polski. We wtorek 21 lipca, o godz. 18:30 przewodniczącym liturgii i kaznodzieją w trakcie dnia polskiego będzie ks. prałat Antoni Czarnecki. Serdecznie zapraszamy wszystkich parafian. ST. ANNE SOCIETY Rozpoczyna się czas zapisywania nowych członków do St. Anne Society. Członkowie tego Stowarzyszenia podejmują się uwielbiać Boga i uczestniczyć w misji Kościoła poprzez aktywne uczestnictwo w różnorodnych wydarzeniach w Bazylice św. Józefa. Osoby chętne do wstąpienia w szeregi St. Anne Society prosimy o kontakt z Diane Gajewski 860 935 5755 lub Genevieve Lariviere 508 943 1781. Club 1-25 Następny bankiet odbędzie się w sobotę 12 września po Mszy św. o godz. 16:00 w Szkolnej kafeterii. Opłaty w dniu bankietu nie będą przyjmowane, dlatego prosimy dokonywać opłat przed bankietem. Opłat można dokonać u swojego „kapitana” lub włożyć do koszyka z kolekta w kopercie z napisem Club 1-25. Z podziękowaniem za współpracę i w oczekiwaniu na spotkanie w czasie bankietu - Theresa A. Jankowski, Chairman - Theresa L. Wagner, Co-Chairman SZCZĘŚLIWE MAŁŻEŃSTWO Dobra komunikacja między ludźmi nie daje automatycznie monopolu na szczęście w małżeństwie, ale jest jednym z kluczowych elementów, aby to szczęście osiągnąć. Dobra komunikacja wymaga sporo czasu, cierpliwości oraz praktyki. Historia rodziny, temperament, płeć, osobowość i doświadczenie mają wpływ na komunikacje w związku i potrzeba jest czasu, aby zrozumieć w jaki sposób wpływają one na wzajemne zrozumienie w konkretnej parze. W miarę jak codzienne obowiązki, opieka nad dziećmi i inne zajęcia zabierają coraz więcej czasu, bardzo łatwo jest przegapić czas na wzajemną rozmowę i dialog w ważnych sprawach, dlatego warto przyjąć pewną zasadę: mów od czasu do czasu i codziennie słuchaj. PARAFIALNA LINIA MODLITWY Rodzina Bazyliki św. Józefa ma zaszczyt posiadania w swoim gronie grupy osób, które z poświęceniem ofiarują swoje modlitwy w intencji potrzebujących osób. Osoby potrzebujące modlitwy w intencji swojej lub swoich bliskich prosimy o kontakt z Teresą Jankowski: 508 943 5455 lub włożyć swoją prośbę zapisaną na kartce do specjalnej skrzyneczki znajdującej się przy krzyżu w przedsionku Bazyliki. Członkowie Linii Modlitwy modlą się w tych intencjach każdego dnia jak również w czasie Koronki do Miłosierdzia Bożego w każdy pierwszy piątek miesiąca o godz. 15:00. RELIGIA Już teraz prosimy o zapisywanie dzieci na katechizacje w przyszłym roku szkolnym. Opłata wynosi $35 za jedno dziecko oraz $55 za dwoje lub więcej dzieci. Wcześniej zapisy pozwalają nam na lepsze zaplanowanie pracy na następny rok. PODZIĘKOWANIE W niedzielę 19 lipca, po Mszy św. o godz. 11:00 będziemy mieli możliwość okazania wdzięczności naszemu organiście Robertowi Wójcik, za 10 lat jego pełnej poświęcenia pracy w naszej wspólnocie. Zapraszamy na wspólną Eucharystię a tuż po niej na obiad w szkolnej kafeterii. Po jubileuszu Robert wyjeżdża na dłuższy urlop do Polski. Życzymy mu dobrego odpoczynku i jak najszybszego powrotu do nas. CHURCH NAME AND ADDRESS St. Joseph Basilica #511990 53 Whitcomb Street Webster, MA 01570 TELEPHONE 508 943-0467 CONTACT PERSON Fr.
