many valuable stewardship lessons. We are quickly realizing that as
individuals and as a society we really did not need everything that we
wanted. We are also learning to count our blessings and to see that we
have been abundantly blessed by God. And, hopefully, we are becoming
more willing to share our gifts with those who truly are in need.
THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
June 28, 2009
You changed my mourning into dancing;
0 Lord, my God,forever will I give you thanks.
- Psalm 30:13
0 Lord, Be My Help. Today we encounter readings
that draw us into the mystery of suffering and death. In the
past few years we have witnessed the devastation of life and
property through tsunamis and hurricanes. So many lifted
their lament to God, simply asking, "Why" This is an
honest expression of anger toward a God who we believe is
the gift of life. When we lose a loved one, we can wonder
why the presence of Christ is not enough to make that
person rise, even from death, as did the little girl in today's
Gospel passage. Again we raise our voices and ask, "Why?"
At moments such as these, let us make the prayer of the
psalmist our own: "Hear, 0 Lord, and have pity on me; 0
Lord, be my helper."Let us pray that our mourning will one
day be turned into dancing.
The second collection this weekend is for the Holy Father

SACRED HEART SOCIETY
We welcome the Sacred Heart Society members to the 8:15 liturgy
this Sunday morning when the installation of new members will

refreshments in the Parish Conference Room.
SOLEMNITY OF SS. PETER AND PAUL
This solemnity is a feast commemorating
the martyrdom in Rome of the apostles Saint
Peter and Paul of Tarsus, observed on June
A 29. The celebration is of ancient origin, and
___________ is one of the higher ranking holy days during
the ecclesiastical year, but is not a holy day
_________ of obligation, however, in Vatican City, it is
a holiday. On this day newly appointed
archbishops receive the primary symbol of
their office, called pallium, from the pope. With the celebration of
this solemnity, the year of St. Peter will conclude.
Day of Indulgence. On the solemnity of SS Peter and Paul, Saint
Joseph Basilica has the privilege to grant indulgences to the
faithful. A plenary indulgence may be obtained under the usual
conditions, which means reception of Communion, confession if
needed, a visit to Saint Joseph Basilica, and prayer in the intention
of the Holy Father. A plenary indulgence may be obtained only
once and a partial indulgence as many times as the Basilica is
visited and a prayer is said in the intention of the Holy Father.
FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION
A brief adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will take place after
the 7 a.m. Mass on Friday, July 3rd praying the Chaplet to the
Divine Mercy and benediction. An evening Mass will be celebrated
at 7 in Polish, as scheduled.
June 28. 2009 - 28 czerwiec 2009 r.
A WORD FROM THE PASTOR
The festival at Saint Joseph Basilica was the first major event in
town and, as always, opened the vacation season. It was a very
enjoyable and rewarding social, cultural and fund raising event. A
large number of people from various cities and even states attended
the festival. I am grateful to the kitchen staff under the leadership
of Artie Hunt and to his co-workers for the countless hours of work
in preparing the food for so many people; the grounds crew under
the leadership of Michael Kane; General Treasurer James Davey;
and all the chairpersons and volunteers from the parents of the
school children as well as parishioners who dedicated their time
and talent to make this event successful. A word of gratitude to our
custodian, Eugene Rudnicki; the Principal and teachers of St.
Joseph School; and the rectory staff. Thank you to chairpersons
Cindi Gardner and Stefanie Fasulo for their leadership in
coordinating the important Money Raffle fund raiser. Above all, we
are grateful to God for the break in the clouds of the gloomy days
and giving us some sunshine. The gross income will be
communicated to you as soon as it is available.
Money Raffle Winners: l prize -$5000 Tessa Mailloux;
prize-S 1000 Paula Aubin; 3' prize-$500 Marcus Robbins, 4 ' prize$100 Regina Sielawa. Congratulations!
SOAPY'S FLOWER GARDEN
We owe special gratitude to the family of Felix "Soapy" Miller
for cleaning and creating a flower garden between the rectory and
the church in memory of Soapy. By doing so, they continue his
legacy of dedication to the church. It was Soapy's favorite area in
which he spent many hours for several years planting flowers,
especially lilies, and keeping the area well kept. It is a beautiful
Catholic tradition to perform acts of charity on behalf of a deceased
loved one and through this act extend their service and mission to
the Church. The family hired and paid for professional people to
clear the area and then planted various flowers to beautify that
portion of the landscape.
DONATION TO THE PARISH CENTER AND GYM FUND
I am pleased to announce a donation of $100,000 for the
Children's Playground from a family who has special ties to our
parish. They want to remain anonymous for the time being. I am
profoundly grateful to these individuals whose vision, sharing and,
above all, their faith in God which motivates them to respond to the
needs of children. The existing playground will be relocated,
expanded and provided with appropriate additional equipment for
the learning and enjoyment ofthe children. The children, especially
from Pre-K and Kindergarten, learn and interact with one another
not only in the classroom but also during various recreational
activities. The emerging personality of a child includes selfconcept, self-esteem, self regulation of emotions and empathy.
Cognitive ability plays a significant role in the nature of play as
well as regulating the formation and expression of one's
personality. A major benefit of play is also physical growth which
is an outlet for muscle and coordination of development. Jesus
loved the children and used them as an example of many virtues,
and therefore there must be a special place in heaven for
individuals who help the children.

CORPUS CHRIST! PROCESSION
I am pleased that the Corpus Christi liturgical pageant with
Bishop Daniel P. Reilly attracted a large number of faithful from
the Webster-Dudley communities and many families from
Connecticut and Rhode Island. The public worship of the
Eucharistic Jesus has a long tradition in many countries of the
world and is becoming more and more a regular form of worship in
our country. I am grateful to all those who attended, parish
organizations, First Communion children, altar servers, and boy
scouts. I would like to recognize the Sacred Heart Society for
preparing the special outdoor altar at the rectory. I also want to take
this occasion to thank Mrs. Sylvia Kitka and her crew for preparing
the grounds and the church for this Eucharistic devotion.

Joseph Basilica parish: Shaun and Maggie Boynton, Marc and

INDEPENDENCE DAY
As Independence Day draws near, we think of the men and women
of the military who served with courage and competence, some far
from home. How does the Church
accompany them? In 1939, Pope Pius
XII created an independent
jurisdiction of the Catholic Church
called the "Military Vicariate." In
**
1985 Pope John Paul II created the
* * "Archdiocese for Military Services,
*
*
USA." Spanning the globe and
serving nearly one and a half million
Roman Catholics, more than one thousand priests minister in
hospitals, on military bases of the armed forces, on ships at sea, and
on the battlefield. The AMA does not ordain priests, but accept
priests on loan from religious orders and dioceses.
Fourth of July is celebrated by many families in the United States
with traditional cookouts. As you gather with your family and
friends, let us remember to thank God for our gift of freedom. May
you all have a pleasant, healthy and safe Fourth of July!
