Pastor’s Column

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We are going to have a Healing Mass at St. Joseph Parish on September 10 at the 11:30 mass. We have many families/parishioners in the parish struggling with serious health issues. We hope they will be able to join us at the mass. In addition, there may be some of you in the parish who have serious health issues of which we are not aware. Father Nickolai and I will both be administering the Anointing of the Sick at the 11:30 mass on September 10th for whoever would like to receive the sacrament.

What is a Healing Mass?

- All masses are healing masses, for God wants you to heal through the powerful sacrament of the Eucharist. It is His gift to the Church.

What makes a Healing Mass unique?

- The theme of the entire mass is healing, from the celebrant to the participants in the mass. Feel free to ask people to pray with you. - Examples of prayer might be a physical, spiritual or emotional healing, a relationship problem or help to forgive. God is doing the healing. The celebrant and those praying with you are the instruments that the Lord is using to provide a prayerful environment for Him to work in.

How will I know that something special happened at the Healing Mass?

- A majority of the people prayed for will witness that they receive a gift of peace. - The healing may happen that evening but more than likely will happen over a period of time. Keep praying for your healing. - Even if you believe you were healed or your prayer was answered, keep praying and thanking God for that healing. - Keep attending and asking for healing and hope at every mass if you feel that the Lord has not healed you the first time. Many people are gradually healed over time.

God bless you!

Father Dan Shaughnessy

SAINT JOSEPH SCHOOL

6024 Old Antonia Road, Imperial, MO 63052 Phone: 636-464-9027 | Fax: 636-464-8792 New Faces at St. Joseph School, Pre-K

Picking up where we left off last week, we are excited to welcome Stefanie Taormina, Kimberly Mueller, Julia Haack, and Maria Merlo to our Pre-K team. Their collective experience, combined with that of returning Pre-K4 teacher Paige Preiss and returning Pre-K4 aide Christina Marty, will allow the Pre-K groups to emphasize dance and gymnastics, and also to focus on our school garden.

Stefanie is the new lead teacher in Pre-K3. A graduate of Southeast Missouri State University, she has been a dance instructor and really enjoys working with the “little ones.” She will be assisted by Kimberly, who graduated from Missouri Baptist University. Kimberly has previous experience as a volunteer with the Bellarmine Speech League, which fosters public speaking skills in students in grades 5-8.

At the Pre-K4 level, Paige (formerly in Pre-K3) will be assisted by Julia, a graduate of Lindenwood University. Julia’s experience as a dance and gymnastics instructor will ensure much coordinated activity! In the other Pre-K4 class, Maria Merlo joins us following her student teaching experience last year. Maria, who will be assisted by Christina, is a graduate of Rockhurst University.

Attention Now is Your Chance!!!

Now is your chance to serve God and your fellow Catholics!! We are in need of young people who want to assist in the celebration of Holy Mass as altar servers.

As it says on our parish website “Altar serving is not only important to the dignity of the celebration of the Mass, but it is very helpful to those who do it. Serving allows these young people to honor God in a special way, but also helps them to develop confidence and skills. Serving can be an important part of a child's spirituality and even their identity.”

Server must be in the 5th grade or higher, boys or girls are invited to participate in this very special ministry!

Those wishing to volunteer as Altar Servers will need to contact Deacon Don at [email protected].

Training sessions for those in St Joseph’s PSR will be held on Sept 6th at 5 pm and again at 6:45 pm.

The training for those in our Day school will be announced in the coming weeks.

Please Prayerfully consider volunteering as an Altar Server, time spent in serving others is time you will always remember!

For inspiration and encouragement in your spiritual life listen to AM 1460 KHOJ, Catholic radio.

Live programs include Called to Communion, Catholic Answers, and The Journey Home, plus, the daily Holy Mass, the Holy Rosary, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
