The ashes have been washed off our to make decisions that will build up the parish and foreheads, and now we move forward into this time of strengthen the faith of the people; second, that the council Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. As I mentioned in my is active, investigating all aspects of parish life and homily last weekend I am looking forward to this Lent reflecting on what it has investigated; third, as a group together. I quoted Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI who said they are able to form a conclusion which it offers to the “Lent stimulates us to let the word of God penetrate our life pastor in the form of a recommendation. These aspects of in this way to know the fundamental truth: Who we are, a Parish Council seem real, positive, engaging, forward where we come from, where we must go, what path we looking, and most importantly, Christ centered to glorify must take in life.” I hope and pray that the Lenten program God. that we have prepared for the Cathedral Parish will help us all to be stimulated so that we may have a greater In order to reestablish the Pastoral Council of awareness of the fundamental truth. I am particularly approximately 11-13 members I would like to invite grateful to Joan Poro, Mother Paul Marie, Msgr. James parishioners who are interested to serve to contact me at Moroney and Fr. Marc Montminy for their willingness to the parish office to set up an appointment to meet. I would come to our parish to speak to us about their love and hope to hear from a variety of parishioners in order to devotion to St. Joseph during the Wednesdays of form a Council that as best as possible represents the Lent. Please check the bulletin regularly and keep the Cathedral Parish of St. Joseph. Please prayerfully Parish Lenten Schedule close by. Let us continue to pray consider this opportunity to serve our parish. for each other during this holy season. St. Joseph, Patron of our parish, pray for us! In these days of reflection and renewal I would like to In Christ, present to the parish community my desire to reestablish and reengage our Pastoral Council. After experiencing Fr. Jason parish life at the Cathedral for a year I feel much more prepared to engage with active and invested parishioners on the pastoral council level. Although I know I will never have it all together, or know all the ins and outs, or have all the facts, I have had the opportunity to learn so much about our rich parish life at St. Joe’s, and I am excited to see us prosper and grow in so many different ways! I truly believe that God can do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine using you and me as His instruments. Although the Pastoral Council is not required by Canon Law it is indeed an important and vital part of most parishes in the United States. A Pastoral Council can be seen as a way to formalize the relationship between the Mass Schedule pastor and the parishioners; a relationship that can be likened to that of Jesus and His followers. Jesus is the Monday-Friday Good Shepherd, He knows His flock and they know 7:00 a.m., 12:10 p.m. in the Chapel Him. He is the Good Shepherd because he leads His people to flowing waters and to green pastures. They know His Saturday voice and He hears them. The idea is, if He brings them to 8:00 a.m. in the Chapel flowing waters and to green pastures, He knows what they need. 4:00 p.m. in the Cathedral Today, thinking about the Good Shepherd, we have to say Sunday All in the Cathedral that the good pastor is the one who knows his people 8:30 a.m.; 10:30 a.m. with choir, 7:00 p.m. because he listens to them, he knows them, and he loves them. It’s a relationship between the pastor and his people. What am I looking for from pastoral council? I am seeking prudent, thoughtful, respectful, and wise advice to help Confessions expand and deepen my understanding of the needs of this Monday-Friday: 7:30-8:00 a.m. parish so that I can strive with the collaboration of parishioners to meet those needs. Stations of the Cross Fridays at 12:30 p.m. in the Chapel 6:00 p.m. in the Cathedral The First Sunday of Lent Ite Ad Joseph Go to Joseph Seven Sundays Devotion to Saint Joseph The Seven Sundays Devotion is a long-standing tradition of the Church that helps us to prepare to celebrate the feast of Saint Joseph on March 19. The devotion begins on the seventh Sunday prior to March 19 and honors the seven joys and sorrows that Saint Joseph experienced as husband of the Mother of God, faithful guardian of Christ, and head of the holy family. When praying the Seven Sundays devotion, it is customary to pray for a specific intention, asking Saint Joseph’s powerful intercession for your needs. O glorious Saint Joseph, who faithfully obeyed the law of God, your heart was pierced at the sight of the most precious blood that was shed by the infant Savior during his circumcision, but the name of Jesus gave you new life and filled you with quiet joy. By this sorrow and this joy, obtain for us the grace to be freed from all sin during life and to die rejoicing, with the holy name of Jesus in our hearts and on our lips. The joys and sorrows to reflect on for the third week are: Sorrow (Luke 2:21) The Circumcision Joy (Matthew 1:25) The Holy Name of Jesus Lenten Mission: Ite Ad Joseph, 7:00-8:00 p.m. in the Chapel.

A pilgrimage to Panama… From January 21 through January 28, World Youth Day (WYD) 2019 was held in Panama City, Panama. World Youth Day (actually a week) is an international event promoted by the Catholic Church. In 1984-1985, Pope John Paul II was inspired to create this religious event with the vision that young people from around the world would converge on a host city without barriers of race, culture, or social class.

With the coordinated efforts of Rivier University’s Office of Global Engagement, three chaperones and seven students were sent on a pilgrimage from northeastern North America to the southernmost country in Central America to share faith experiences with young people from all corners of the world. For the Office of Global Engagement, the world is its classroom… The Office of Global Engagement (OGE) provides its participants with opportunities for a valuable, experiential education through learning experiences that include immersion in culture, language, and customs.
