You will find the readings for the mass on page 465 in the Red missal. Pastor: Fr. Patrick Chisholm Assistant Pastor: Fr. Giovanni Schiesari Deacon: Dan Ritchie Secretary: Pat Wright Bookkeeper: Trina Tang Catechism Coordinator: Kris Blair Youth Coordinator: Daniel Wack Confessions during new normal – Saturdays between 10 am and 12noon. 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Readings : Isaiah 56:1, 6-7; Psalm 67; Romans 11: 13-15,29-32; Matthew 15: 21-28 Who did Jesus come for ? Certainly the Jews – “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” But what about the Canaanite Woman whose daughter was tormented by a demon? Who would be admitted to his Holy Mountain? This questioned what was debated by the prophets. Isaiah tells us that salvation is possible for those who keep the Sabbath and hold fast to the covenant. Indeed foreigners could join themselves to the Lord. As the Canaanite Woman approaches Jesus she does so in the form of prayer… “Lord, Son of David”, but Jesus doesn’t answer her at all.” As she persists, Jesus responds that, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” She was on the outside looking in. She still persists, but Jesus answers “It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.” Instead of giving up at being compared to a dog (which Jews did compare gentiles to) The woman responds, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat from crumbs which fall from their masters table.” To which Jesus answers, “Woman great is your faith, let it be done for you as you wish.” The path of the gentile to the Kingdom of Heaven is faith. Jesus can work in the woman and her daughter’s life based on her faith. As we read Matthew’s account of Jesus and the Canaanite woman it will appear that he was treating her rudely. In reality he was treating as a Jew would treat a gentile, but at the same time he was calling her to respond in faith. Thus allowing her to be brought into the Kingdom. St. Paul had a different problem; although the Jews were the people of God, of the Covenant, they did not as a group respond to Jesus’ teaching. While this saddens Paul, that they were not accepting Jesus, he realizes that God is not turning his back on them. He will not revoke the Covenant. That while we sometimes turn our backs on God, he is always faithful. His love is eternal, it is not given just to be taken away. Jesus was not rejecting the Canaanite Woman, rather he was opening the way. This is the God that we are called to live in relationship with. He calls on us to have a faith which persists. This is a week of comings and going at St. Joseph’s. Last Monday Fr. Lawrence moved into the St. Joseph’s Residence in the St. John Paul II Pastoral Centre. This Wednesday Fr. Giovanni (Gio) Schiesari moved in to assume his role as Assistant Pastor. This coming Tuesday afternoon our Seminarian Jerome Robles will be leaving us to prepare for his last year at the Seminary of Christ the King, in Mission. My best wishes to all of them as they live out their vocations. I am particularly looking forward with the rest of the parish in getting to know Fr. Giovanni and to thank Jerome for all that he has done in St. Josephs’ this past Summer. Fr. Patrick Welcome to St. Joseph’s: Rev. Father Giovanni Maria Schiesari was born in the city of Verona (Italy) on June 24, 1985 (The Feast of St. John the Baptist). He is the 4th child of a large family of 14 people. His parents and 12 children: 7 boys and 5 girls. Fr. Giovanni first felt the call to follow Christ when he was three years old. At this early stage in his life, Pope John Paul II visited Giovanni’s hometown of Verona, for the purpose of beatifying a local saint: Don Giovanni Calabria. When the Pope passed in front of Giovanni’s parish, he felt the desire to follow Christ. Since that moment, Giovanni has never felt the vocation leave him. After Confirmation, and a time of catechesis, Giovanni joined the Neocatechumenal Community in Verona. He credits the community with keeping his call to follow Christ alive. At the age of 15, Giovanni went on a pilgrimage with Pope John Paul II to Israel. There he once again felt a strong call to pursue the priesthood. In September 2005, Giovanni went to a vocational meeting with the founders of the Neocatechumenal Way in Italy. There he made known his desire to join a “Diocesan International Missionary Seminary for the New Evangelization” anywhere in the world. Giovanni was sent to the Redemptoris Mater Seminary of Toronto. After eight years in this seminary (a formation which included a missionary work-period in the countries of Colombia, Canada, and Italy) Giovanni was transferred to the Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Vancouver, BC. He completed his third and fourth year of theology at Christ the King Seminary in Mission. On May 6th, 2016, Giovanni was ordained deacon for the Archdiocese of Vancouver, and sent to St. Matthew’s Parish in Surrey to do one year of pastoral internship. He was ordained priest for the Archdiocese of Vancouver on June 3, 2017. Fr. Giovanni is grateful to God for his whole life, and especially for his experience here in Canada as a missionary. He asks for your prayers. PARISH NEWS: FAREWELL: To desire is to long for that which we do not have. And how great was my desire to meet you, the parishioners of St. Joseph’s! I admit, there were times during Mass when I would often gaze at empty pews and imagine them filled with people, to hear the cries of infants, to offer a handshake or high-five at the door… may this not be a distant memory of the past but a hope to anticipate in the near future. And so, as I bid farewell, I leave you with one word: hope. The day will surely come when the doors of this church will not be able to contain the throngs of people gathering for Mass again – let us earnestly pray for that! Thank you for the summer and please pray for me. May God bless you and your families, Jerome Robles – Seminarian St. Joseph’s Parish, Summer 2020 Recently Baptized: Dominic Canil R.I.P.: Please pray for the souls of Robert Edward Blair, John Philip Hagan, Peter Francis Wright Maria Van Vugt – NET Ministries – Maria will be going for a second year with NET ministries.

  • Father Giovanni Gaddo (8Th Provost General)
    Father Giovanni Gaddo (8th Provost General) by Domenico Mariani (Translated by J. Anthony Dewhirst) Is it possible that a little boy of 12 could be convinced that he had a religious vocation, to the point of devoting himself to serve the Lord all his life with the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience in a religious Institute? Would he have sufficient maturity and knowledge of his own powers and human life to be definitely sure about it? Or would it not rather be autosuggestion, domestic economic problems, or the influence of some good person influencing his choice? We know how modern psychologists would answer these questions. But we can say positively and absolutely ‘yes’. This is borne out by the reality of the facts; for instance, his life, the supernatural gift of a religious vocation, in which grace is grafted on to human nature, and incessant prayer reinforcing his human efforts. Giovanni Ferdinando Angelo Gaddo was born of Carlo and Maria Amiotti at Vercelli, the Casa Borgogna in the Via del Duomo, on 7 February1895. His father was a worker in marble, and this work provided for the upkeep of the family. His mother was a housewife and died early (1903?), so little Giovanni and his sister Lucia (a year his junior) were looked after by their grandmother. But she also passed away in 1907 and the Parish Priest of Crescentino, Don Pietro Gianotti, taking an interest in the family, wrote to Don Policarpo Garibaldi, the Novice Master at Calvario in Domodossola, in order that he might intercede with the Provincial, Giambattista Pagani, to accept the boy into the Institute of Charity.

  • With Trusting Hope
    WITH TRUSTING HOPE Writings by Don Luigi Caburlotto Analysis of his educational method ANNA BALDUIT – BRUNA BIANCHIN MARIA TERSA STEFANI – TANIA DA RIOS Introduction by GIUSEPPE GOISIS INSTITUTE “DAUGHTERS OF ST. JOSEPH” VENETIAN CATHOLIC STUDIUM 1 PREFACE Luigi Caburlotto (1817-1897) was a priest of action in the diocese of Venice, he had been a parish priest in S. Giacomo dell’Orio for twenty-two years, but for a longer period he was engaged in an educational work of assistance and redemption of the young ones,, mainly of those who were more exposed to the sad consequences of poverty and to the dangers of an inadequate moral formation. He founded the institute of the Daughters of St. Joseph to set up his undertaking and to ensure its continuity; after the necessary adaptations to the new social and cultural situations today this institute is still continuing with tenaciousness, intelligence and generous dedication along the furrow that he traced. A priest of action but inspired from above: the texts and the notes of his meditations and of his sermons, although with the limits of the biblical and theological culture of the time, show the evidence of his careful listening to the Word of God. Besides he was solicitous in the study and reflection on the problems that a wise education would put to those who meant to contribute to the maturation of the young consciences. His writings that have a pedagogical mark are gathered in the present volume in order to put them first of all, at the disposal of the religious Sisters and of the teachers of the schools where the Institute of S.

  • Latin in Seminaries/A
    Fœderatio Internationalis Una Voce Positio N. 12 THE TEACHING OF LATIN IN SEMINARIES OCTOBER 2012 From the General Introduction These papers, commissioned by the International Federation Una Voce , are offered to stimulate and inform debate about the 1962 Missal among Catholics ‘attached to the ancient Latin liturgical tradition’, and others interested in the liturgical renewal of the Church. They are not to be taken to imply personal or moral criticism of those today or in the past who have adopted practices or advocated reforms which are subjected to criticism. In composing these papers we adopt the working assumption that our fellow Catholics act in good will, but that nevertheless a vigorous and well-informed debate is absolutely necessary if those who act in good will are to do so in light of a proper understanding of the issues. The authors of the papers are not named, as the papers are not the product of any one person, and also because we prefer them to be judged on the basis of their content, not their authorship. The International Federation Una Voce humbly submits the opinions contained in these papers to the judgement of the Church. The Teaching of Latin in Seminaries: Abstract The question of Latin as a liturgical language has been dealt with in a previous paper; here the issue of Latin as the common language of the Church is addressed. The importance of Latin as a component of seminary education has been stressed before, at, and following the Second Vatican Council, but not only because of its liturgical importance: its wider importance is that it makes possible communication between generations (from the past to the present, and from the present to future generations) and between nations, in a stable language which can be learnt by all.
