St. Joseph the Worker Photo Directory
We are creating an updated church photo directory for the 2018/19 year! This directory will help to foster our beautiful church community but putting names to the all faces at our church.
All parishioners are encouraged to participate. Participation is free for parishioners and participants will receive one free 8x10 photo and a free copy of the new church directory. Photo sessions will occur in August (28th to Sept 1st) and will continue again in September (17th - 20th and 25th - 27th). We have many families to include, so be sure to set up an appointment early!
Booking an Appointment:To book a sitting with a photographer for the church photo directory, you can sign up online at the following website: https://booknow.appointment-plus.com/ye81lcke/
Volunteers:If you want to help out with this project, you can sign up for volunteer times at http://signup.com/go/WNoOUgd
Please contact Ted or Pam Corpus at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Jesus silences the murmurers, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.” What does it mean to “listen to the Father”? It means being attentive to the needs and desires of our own humanity. If Elijah had not been brought to the point of starvation, he would not pray as he does today. What the doubters in the Gospel find so far-fetched - “I am the living bread that came down from heaven” - is in fact exactly what they need in order to be drawn to the Father’s love. That is why “Christ loved us” by handing himself over for us “as a sacrificial offering.”

From today’s Gospel: Jesus said, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (John 6:51)Adults: When has the bread of life given you the strength you needed to face a difficult situation in your life?Children: What will you ask Jesus to help you with when you receive Holy Communion this week?
