Mark Your Calendars! Mass Schedule Change Tuesday, July 13 I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the patience and 6:30 PM understanding you’ve shown during the months that our parishes have had to alter activities due to the Covid Pandemic. It is wonderful to see our churches St. Joseph Church filled again as we gather to celebrate the Holy Mass. With Fr. Sergio The question has come up about adding another Mass to the schedule at St. Charles. The 10:00 AM Mass that was celebrated on Sundays was eliminated Review/Training and the Spanish Mass is now celebrated at 11:00 AM. In discussions with Fr. Sergio, the parish trustees and the Tri-Parish Pastoral Council, we have decided For All Eucharistic to offer a 5:00 PM Mass on Sunday evenings at St. Charles. This was agreed Ministers and Sacristans upon for a few reasons: 1) We already offer a 5:00 PM Mass on Sundays twice a month from September to April for the Family Life Night, 2) This option still leaves five opportunities to attend Mass on Sunday mornings at the parishes, 3) This option was considered about 12 years ago by our trustees as plans for becoming a Tri-Parish community were just getting started, 4) This may be an attractive option not only our parishioners but folks from the neighboring parishes. 5:00 PM Mass on Sundays at St. Charles will begin on August 1. Last Sunday’s Receipts As always, I appreciate your willingness to adapt to changes in our parishes.

Maybe the work is best left to the professionals. That’s how many people view the preaching of the Gospel. That’s the stuff , religious, , lay ministers, and other professional Church people do. It has little to do with me. Well, that’s not really true. The fact of the matter is that preaching the Gospel has everything to do with you, with all of us who are baptized members of the Body of Christ. Nobody gets off the hook from that job. The question is, however, how do we do it? Well, there’s a safe way, which many choose, to Save The Date! preach the Gospel — and the risky way. The safe way pretty much keeps the St. Joseph’s Gospel in church and around like-minded people. I say my prayers, go to Mass, contribute to the food pantry, tithe, and attend Bible Study. That pretty much 150th Anniversary Celebration covers the bases, right? Wrong. Sunday, October 10, 2021 The risky way is the more challenging way and for many, the “road less Mass with Archbishop Schuerman traveled.” Imagine those first disciples going out and into people’s homes. They must have had some amazing conversations with folks about God’s kingdom, More information to come…. changing their hearts, forgiving sins, and looking at the world differently. They must have met people who were hurting, exiled from their communities, neglected, lost, or living self-insulated lives in a society that served the rich and neglected the poor. While there were many who welcomed what they had to say and the conversations they had, there were others who no doubt rejected them and literally tossed them out on their ears! The Gospel, while being a message of joy and hope, is not always received well by those who are very comfortable keeping things as they are. The risky way involves example and conversation. We have to take the Gospel from church and carry it with us wherever we go. What kinds of conversations Monday - Friday do we have with others? We interact with those closest to us, in our work, social 9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. circles, institutions, corporations, in politics, and beyond. Our conversations with others reveal a great deal about how we see things and what we consider important. If we are really interested in seeing God’s vision for the world succeed, then we will talk about it. It will become a part of our everyday conversation and find its way into our interactions with others. How will we preserve the dignity of human life and encourage others to have a relationship with God? We must be the example, live value centered, virtuous lives, stand against injustice, combating racism, and learn ways to resolve conflicts without violence. If we are going to succeed going forward, we have to find a way to bring our prayer centered lives into the marketplace. Our conversations have to change. Not everyone wants to hear what the Gospel has to say. That’s a risk God asks us to take. ©LPi

Thursday - St. Charles People can feel strongly about this on both sides. The main thrust of the Shoes- Friday - St. Mary Off Brigade seems to be this: we track a lot of weird stuff on the soles of our feet. Little reminders of all the places we’ve been — whether it’s a private home or a public bathroom — cling to our shoes long after we leave. This same theory applies to our spiritual lives. As human beings and as disciples, we visit a lot of figurative towns and pick up a lot of figurative dust. Sinfulness. Shame. Defeat. Anger. Fear. Doubt. No matter how hard we try to keep free of it, these things have a way of attaching themselves to us, sometimes without us even noticing. We need to take a good look at what unhelpful and unconstructive baggage from our past we’re tracking into our present and future encounters. What is the “town” God is asking you to visit today in His name? Is it a tough conversation with a friend, a brief witness to a stranger in the checkout line, a call to be present to someone in your family? Before you go, remember, shake off the dust. Don’t let a past disappointment constrain you. Don’t allow yesterday’s failures or burdens to keep you from the joy of today’s witness, whatever form it might take.
