SACRIFICIAL OFFERINGS - July 12, 2009
Weekly $5714.92 (including $227.92 in loose cash), Fuel $533;
Diocesan Obligations $424.
REPORT ON PHASE III. We are extremely grateful to those
parishioners who already have contributed to the much needed
Phase III program. Together with last week-end's collection the
donations total $10,774 with $6200 in pledges. Thank you for your
generosity and understanding and may God bless you for your
spirit of stewardship. We kindly ask that donations be returned with
the form for bookkeeping purposes. Although every 2 weekend
of the month, the second collection will be for Phase III, you may
return your contribution any weekend via the collection basket or
dropped off at the rectory.
Stewardship Note. "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want."
(Psalm 23:1) Modern advertising tempts us to want so many things.
Yet a faithful steward knows the difference between what he wants
and what he needs. On the grave marker the sum of your life will
be represented by the hyphen that separates the date of your birth
and the year of your death. But the impact of your life is not
relegated to the etchings on the tomb stone. The heritage that you
leave behind will be the influence you left on others. The assets we
leave for the parish, children and community should have eternal
and everlasting value. The true asset is the example of life
committed to God and the Church.
SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
July 19, 2009
Behold, the days are coming,
says the Lord, when I will raise
i
up a righteous shoot to David.
—Jeremiah 23.5a
Rest in the Lord. For several
weeks we have listened to readings that have recounted just
how arduous the work of prophets and disciples can be. In
today's Gospel, the Lord Jesus listens to the reports of those
he had sent out "two by two" to minister to the people.
After the apostles reported what they had done, Jesus,
recognizing their fatigue, says, "Come away by yourselves
to a deserted place and rest awhile" (Mark 6:31). Perhaps
this is what the Lord is telling his disciples in the year 2009
as well. We need to pause on our journey of discipleship
and simply rest in the Lord. Sunday Mass provides many
opportunities for quiet times, particularly during the periods
of silence following the readings. Why not take the time
today to allow the saving word of the Lord to penetrate your
heart during those silent times? Ask the Lord to renew you
in body, mind, and spirit for the arduous work of
A second collection will not be taken this weekend
The second collection next weekend will be taken for all
remaining envelopes in your budget pack for the month ofJuly

CATHOLIC EDUCATION IS A TREASURE
It is encouraging that when a child gets sick the parents
make every effort to help him/her. It seems there are no
limits of time, money, and effort the mother and father are
capable to undertake to ensure the child's physical well
being. Likewise, the parents who truly love their children
will make every effort to provide them with the best
available education. In the P letter of John the Apostle verse
4 he said I could have no greater joy than to hear that my
children live in truth. Knowledge is important but wisdom
determines a happy and fulfilling life. True wisdom is
achieved through a Catholic education which places God at
the center of one's life. St. Joseph School wants to keep the
door open for parents with moderate income and therefore
lowered the tuition and provided many other cost saving
benefits.
There is on-going registration for every class during the
normal summer working hours schedule at school from 9 to
1, 508-943-0378 or call the rectory, 508-943-0467. Pre-K is
almost at capacity.

Love Them Both. We must love them both—those whose
opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject. For both
have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us
in the finding of it. - Thomas Aquinas
SUMMER CLEAN-UP
Summertime is associated with
vacations for the children which they
rightfully deserve, but for the
Administration of the school and the
4
parents preparation of the classrooms
for the new academic year is essential.
On Saturday, July 25th, from 9 a.m. to
If
2 p.m. there will be a mega cleaning
day in St. Joseph School under the
direction of Eugene Rudnicki and John
Szymczak. May I ask the parents, guardians, parishioners and
friends to volunteer their services. We pay great attention to the
cleanliness and sparkling appearance of the school where the
children spend a lot of time. Your participation will reduce our
cleaning expenses. We look forward to seeing you at 9 a.m.
SAINT ANNE FEAST DAY
On Sunday, July 26th, on the occasion of the St. Anne Solemnity,
all the members of St. Anne Society at Saint Joseph Basilica are
asked to participate in divine worship at 8:15 a.m. The members
should gather at the entrance to the church and walk in
procession for the Mass. Members are invited to gather in the
parish Conference Room after Mass for a short meeting.
Refreshments will be served.
St. Anne is not only the patroness of grandparents and
guardians, but also the patroness of hope. Her spirit of prayer and
continuous faith in God was generously rewarded. On Thursday,
July 23', we will begin the triduum to St. Anne following the
morning Mass. We ask the members of the organization and
parishioners to come to church on these days to pray to God
through the intercession of St. Anne for particular graces we need
in our life.
