(The Parishes of St. John the Baptist & St. Joseph) THE GIFT OF JOY A farmer and his wife were hit by a bad situation which made it very difficult for them to make ends meet. They tried every means to live above their difficulties, but no better days came. Life got unbearable; happiness eluded them, but they had one thing - the spirit of prayer. As their difficulties multiplied, so were their temptation to curse God and the day of their birth. However, having been raised in the fear of God, they prayed, constantly begging God neither to let them be too poor as to curse him nor too rich as to forsake him. Every day, they prayed for their daily bread, lifted their lives into his hands, and asked at least to be happy and satisfied with their lot. One day they had the chance to welcome three elderly strangers to their home. As fate would have it, the couple was supposed to accommodate only one of them in accord with their priorities. They hosted the three men to a meal prepared from their scarce victuals. After the meal was the time for choice. The strangers introduced themselves as the angel of wealth, the angel of happiness, and the angel of love. After battling over the choice of either wealth or happiness, they decided to accommodate the angel of love. To their surprise, wealth and happiness followed their choice of love and the couple lived ever joyfully after. They constantly rejoiced in their love and love conquered in all the battles they had to fight in life. Dear friends, this Sunday is Gaudete Sunday. As the name implies, Gaudete means Rejoice and so the liturgy calls us to a life full of joy. It is in the spirit of joy that we light the rose candle of our advent wreath. It is in the same spirit that the priest dons the rose vestments. We rejoice because the Lord whose coming we await is the only source of our joy. He is our God who is love. We choose him when we choose to love and love spells out the abundance of wealth and joy. Pope Francis once laid out a beautiful distinction between joy and happiness when he said that to be happy is good, but joy is something more. There is one thing being happy and another thing being joyful. Whereas the former has external undertones, the latter does not depend on external motivations or transient issues. Joy, according to the Holy Father, is more profound, it is a gift. The Pope intimated that to be happy at all moments, at all costs, can, in the end, turn to superficiality and shallowness in the Lord, which robs us of Christian wisdom and makes us as dumb and naïve as to think that all is joy. Joy is a gift, a given from God, the God who is himself the source of our true joy. Gaudete Sunday thus reminds us that in the difficulties of life, we need not be afraid, because our God comes, he comes with might, his recompense is with him, he comes to save us, he comes to give us joy. Ours is to give our lives to him no matter what. Ours is to rejoice in him always. Our kindness should be known to all because the Lord is near. We should have no anxiety at all; rather in all things, let us by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make our requests known to God. So the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Gaudete Sunday then must be a moment to stop and reflect on the source of true joy. If in this season of Advent, we have been chasing happiness like chasing the wind, then lighting the rose candle is an opportunity to refocus on the fact that Christmas is about joy to the world. Joy because every heart prepares a room to receive the King whose love makes us wealthy and truly happy. Have a joy-filled week Fr.

  • Portuguese Language in Angola: Luso-Creoles' Missing Link? John M
    Portuguese language in Angola: luso-creoles' missing link? John M. Lipski {presented at annual meeting of the AATSP, San Diego, August 9, 1995} 0. Introduction Portuguese explorers first reached the Congo Basin in the late 15th century, beginning a linguistic and cultural presence that in some regions was to last for 500 years. In other areas of Africa, Portuguese-based creoles rapidly developed, while for several centuries pidginized Portuguese was a major lingua franca for the Atlantic slave trade, and has been implicated in the formation of many Afro- American creoles. The original Portuguese presence in southwestern Africa was confined to limited missionary activity, and to slave trading in coastal depots, but in the late 19th century, Portugal reentered the Congo-Angola region as a colonial power, committed to establishing permanent European settlements in Africa, and to Europeanizing the native African population. In the intervening centuries, Angola and the Portuguese Congo were the source of thousands of slaves sent to the Americas, whose language and culture profoundly influenced Latin American varieties of Portuguese and Spanish. Despite the key position of the Congo-Angola region for Ibero-American linguistic development, little is known of the continuing use of the Portuguese language by Africans in Congo-Angola during most of the five centuries in question. Only in recent years has some attention been directed to the Portuguese language spoken non-natively but extensively in Angola and Mozambique (Gonçalves 1983). In Angola, the urban second-language varieties of Portuguese, especially as spoken in the squatter communities of Luanda, have been referred to as Musseque Portuguese, a name derived from the KiMbundu term used to designate the shantytowns themselves.

    History of St. Michael the Archangel Parish. A Half Centry of Saint Michael Catholic Church, Olyphant, PA. 1912-1962. CAP at Orchard Lake. The growth of coal mining in the Lackawanna Valley brought a great number of Polish immi- grants to Olyphant at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Soon there arose a need for the establishment of a parish and the building of a church to serve these people. The organization of the parish was initiated by Mr. Joseph Kwiatek, a hotel owner in the borough, in the Spring of 1909. A committee was organized to lay the foundation of the new parish. The following men served on the committee: Messrs. Joseph Kwiatek, Michael Borys, Michael Ksydar, Louis Naglak, Joseph Guzek, Andrew Naglak, George Klocek, Joseph Pijar, John Pasko, John Swieton, Frank Szarek, Joseph Borys, Matthew Dutka, Anthony Oleniacz, and Jacob Czeluszniak. The first meeting of the committee was held in the home of Mr. Louis Naglak. It was decided at this meeting that a census be taken of the Polish families living in Olyphant and that affairs be held to raise money for the buying of property. On September 13, 1909 property was bought from Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Kelley. There were three homes on the property: one was to serve as a rectory; another was to become a convent; and the third was to be raised for the construction of a church. The Committee reported its progress to His Excellency, the Most Reverend Michael J. Hoban, who at that time was the Bishop of the Diocese of Scranton.

  • St. Joseph and St. Michael the Archangel
    DECREE EFFECTING THE MERGER OF SAINT JOSEPH PARISH (DUBOIS) INTO SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL PARISH (DUBOIS) History A. Saint Joseph Parish From 1877 to 1893, the only Catholic parish in DuBois was Saint Catherine of Siena Parish. In 1893, Bishop Tobias Mullen established Saint Joseph Parish in DuBois as a personal parish for Catholics in the DuBois area who were of Lithuanian or Polish descent. Parishioners quickly began construction of the original parish church, which was dedicated in 1894. For eighteen years, Lithuanian and Polish Catholics worshipped together in DuBois, until a separate parish was erected in DuBois in 1912 for Catholics of Polish heritage. With the creation of Saint Michael the Archangel Parish, Saint Joseph Parish was effectively split in half. Since the number of parishioners was still significant, however, a larger church was needed, and the present church was constructed in 1924. The former church building was converted to use as the parish school. For a time, Saint Joseph Parish administered a mission at St. Anthony church in Helvetia. The mission had previously been a parish in its own right before becoming a mission of Saint Stanislaus Parish in Tyler and then of Saint Joseph Parish in DuBois, until fire destroyed the mission in 1955. Saint Joseph parish school, housed in the former church, closed its doors in 1971. Since 1999, Saint Joseph Parish has not had a full-time pastor, sharing a pastor first with Saint Catherine of Siena Parish from 1999 to 2009, and then with Saint Michael the Archangel Parish from 2009 to the present.

  • The Figure of Joseph the Patriarch in the New Testament and the Early Church
    ABSTRACT “Much More Ours Than Yours”: The Figure of Joseph the Patriarch in the New Testament and the Early Church by John Lee Fortner This paper investigates the figure of Joseph the patriarch in early Christian interpretation, demonstrating the importance of such figures in articulating a Christian reading of the history of Israel, and the importance of this reading in the identity formation of early Christianity. The paper also illumines the debt of this Christian reading of Israel’s history to the work of Hellenistic Judaism. The figure of Joseph the patriarch is traced through early Christian interpretation, primarily from the Eastern Church tradition up to the 4th century C.E. The key methodological approach is an analysis of how the early church employed typological, allegorical, and moral exegesis in its construction of Joseph as a “Christian saint of the Old Testament.” A figure who, to borrow Justin Martyr’s phrase, became in the Christian identity “much more ours than yours.” “Much More Ours Than Yours”: The Figure of Joseph the Patriarch in the New Testament and the Early Church A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of History by John Lee Fortner Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2004 Advisor ________________________ Dr. Edwin Yamauchi Reader ________________________ Dr. Charlotte Goldy Reader _________________________ Dr. Wietse de Boer Table of Contents Introduction 1 Early Christian Hermeneutics 1 The Aura of Antiquity 6 Apologetics of Hellenistic Judaism 8 Scope and Purpose of Study 12 1.
