Due to the cancellation of public Masses we will suspend requests for

intentions until further notice. Mass intentions that have been requested

and already scheduled will be honored during Fr. Pastorius’ daily private

Mass in the order that they were scheduled. Since he is saying only one

Mass a day there will be an abundance of requests that will not be

fulfilled until our schedule returns to normal. Please know that all

intentions not used during this time will be rescheduled when normal

Masses resume.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Parish Office is CLOSED.

Employees will be coming in periodically to check mail and voicemails and

many are continuing to work from home. Please be patient as we all adjust

to this new way of doing business. If you need to speak to someone in the

office but are not sure who to direct your call to, please leave a message for

Maria Murillo and she will be sure to forward your request/question to the

correct employee. She can be reached at 636-227-5247 ext. 1604.

From the Pastor Notas del Párroco 3

1. Letter Regarding School

Dear St. Joseph Parishioners,

One of the formal prayers that I include

in my daily prayers is called the Prayer for

Resignation to God’s will:

Lord, if what we seek be according to Your will,

then let it come to pass and let success attend the

outcome. But if not, my God, let it not come to pass.

Do not leave us to our own devices, for you know

how unwise we can be. Keep us safe under your

protection Lord our God, and in your own gentle

way guide us and care for us as You know best. We

ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

I have always found this prayer to be

both powerful and helpful because it

intentionally reminds me that God’s plans

for my life are even better for me than the

plans that I have for my own life. The

prayer gives me hope because it prompts

me to recall that God sees the entire

playing field and I only see a small section

of the board. Finally, it inspires me to

recall the stories of Scriptures and it

therefore aids me to trust in God during

difficult times.

I share this prayer with you now because

despite the overwhelming generosity of the

people of the parish and the hard work of

so many, it has become evident to me that

God desires for St. Joseph Parish to go

forward towards the future without a full-

time school and that the 2019-2020 school

year should be the last year for St. Joseph

School.

Our parish was making great progress

towards being able to address the many

issues concerning our school viability. Our

Legacy Wall fundraiser for the parish was a

huge success, our plans to expand the Early

Childhood Learning Center were on track,

and we had a very successful Catholic

Schools Week.

Then the Coronavirus hit our parish

hard, not only spiritually but also

financially. Our Sunday collections went

down over 60% during the time of social

distancing when we did not have any

public Masses. In addition, we stopped

receiving any income from the Early

Childhood Learning Center during this

same time. We also know that this time of

social distancing has not only affected the

parish financially, but many of our

parishioners as well.

Also during our time of social distancing,

our principal, Mr. Sturgill, informed the

school community that he had decided to

take on a new job as principal of St.

Stephen School in South St. Louis closer to

his home. Three other faculty members

have decided to retire or take teaching

positions elsewhere. Our efforts to be

transparent and discuss this situation with

our school parents resulted in some

parents deciding to enroll their children in

a different school.

I have shared with all of you from the

beginning that the following words from

St. John Paul II have been the words that

have guided me: “Let us remember the past

with gratitude, live the present with

enthusiasm, and look forward to the future

with confidence.” As much as I am

tempted to look to the past to blame

someone or some group for our current

situation, I know that it will not change

our situation or bring about any sort of

healing. I choose therefore to focus on

being grateful to everyone who has prayed

so fervently, worked so hard, and given so

much to keep St. Joseph School open for

these many years, especially our amazing

faculty.

With a heart full of sadness, I make this

announcement. I have tried to live in the

present with enthusiasm by focusing on

the many great relationships I have made

working so hard with all of you to keep our

school alive. We truly gave it our best

shot. I also know that if there is any parish

in the Archdiocese that can move forward

without a K-8 school it is St. Joseph Parish.

It will be a challenge, but one that I am

sure that we are more than capable of

facing as we pray and work together to

discover a new way of being Church.

Finally, I am challenging myself, and I

invite all of you to look to the future with

confidence. Some of the staff and I have

already begun brainstorming ideas about

how St. Joseph can show other parishes

that it is possible to be a vibrant parish

without a school because other parishes

may eventually find themselves in a similar

situation. We also look forward to making

our Early Childhood Learning Center even

more extraordinary.

Just as St. Joseph discovered that God’s

plan for him was not only confusing but

also much more rewarding than the plans

that he had for his own life, may we,

through the intercession of St. Joseph, put

aside our dreams for this wonderful parish

so that we may be able to put God’s dream

for our parish into action.

With deep gratitude for the past,

enthusiasm for the present, and hope for

the future,

Fr. Thomas M. Pastorius

2. Public Masses to Begin Archbishop

Carlson has given permission for public

Masses to begin on Monday, May 18

th

so

we will begin to resume our regular Mass

schedule on May 18

th

starting with 6:30am

and 8:30am Masses. The Archbishop has

asked that parishes follow all health and

safety guidelines. Please visit our parish

website for more info and to watch a short

video on what these procedures will be.

3. New Mercies For the last couple of

weeks during our time of social distancing,

I have been producing some daily Scripture

Reflections that I have entitled “New

Mercies.” The title comes from the

following quote: “The Lord’s acts of mercy

are not exhausted, his compassion is not

spent; they are renewed each morning”

– Lamentations 3:22-23a. You can find

these videos posted on our website and on

our Facebook page. I will be continuing

these reflections even though our time of

social distancing is coming to an end. Also,

stay tuned for an update coming to Elevate,

our Sunday morning Zoom session.

4. First Communion Even with the

opportunity to celebrate public Mass

again, we will be under a lot of limitations

that will prevent us from filling our church

building to its normal capacity. We are

looking at a few options on how best to

celebrate First Communions at this time

and will have a plan in place soon. Sorry

for the delay. We just do not know what

the future looks like at this time.

5. Larger Gatherings While public

Masses are beginning again, the

Archbishop has not given permission for

other larger gatherings to take place. As

restrictions lessen, we will do our best to

restart other aspects of parish life. Many of

our groups have continued to meet over

Zoom. You may think about joining one of

their Zoom meetings.

6. Celebrating a Deceased Loved One’s

Life During the strange time of social

distancing, some of us lost loved ones and

did not have the ability to celebrate their

life in the way that we may have wished

because of the restrictions. If you would

like to celebrate a deceased loved one’s life

now, please contacted David Broemmelsick

at [email protected] to

schedule a memorial Mass. We will be

happy to host a funeral luncheon for you as

well once restrictions are lifted. We do ask

that families pay the cantor and musician.

There will be no Church fee and a donation

to the priest is acceptable but not needed.

“As Americans, as Catholics and

as pastors of our people, we

write therefore today to call our

fellow citizens back to our

country's founding principles,

and most especially to renew

our national respect for the

rights of those who are unborn,

weak, disabled and terminally

ill. Real freedom rests on the

inviolability of every person as a

child of God.”

Bishops “Living the Gospel of Life,” ©

The covid-19 virus has

dramatically altered everyday

living. We want you to know

that even though we have

suspended ‘home visits’ to our

neighbors in need we are still

making phone calls and ‘virtual

visits.’ If you or someone you

know needs help with food or

financial assistance please call

our St. Vincent de Paul office

phone at 636-779-5616. All calls

are confidential. We pray for

God’s loving grace and

protection.

Stephen Ministry Whatever you

did for the least of these...you did for Me.

In Matthew 25, Jesus says, “For I

was hungry and you gave me

something to eat, I was thirsty

and you gave me to drink, I was a

stranger and you invited me in.”

We have many opportunities to

respond to Jesus’ great love by

showing that love to others.

Stephen Ministry is one way our

congregation shows that love. As

you encounter people this week,

try asking yourself, “How can I

show them Jesus today?” Call

Anne Grant, 636-399-7633 or

Spiritual Ponderings

Coronavirus & the Sacraments

I am using an article that I read to guide my reflections on the Church and the Coronavirus. The

article is called: “Epidemic Danger and Catholic Sacraments” and was written by a theologian

named Thomas Joseph White. Quotes from his article will be in bold and my commentary and

reflections will be in normal font. Thomas Joseph White, O.P., is director of the Thomistic Institute in Rome.

There are many other medieval and early modern examples that could be cited, but much

more recently, in 1918, the churches in many parts of the United States closed for public

worship during the Spanish Flu. In New Orleans (hardly a Protestant city) the city ordered

that churches had to close, which did prompt some outcry from Catholic pastors who said

that this had not been done during earlier epidemics. They were in error. Old moral theology

manuals classically indicate that one of the reasons a priest can celebrate Mass

privately without a server is due to plague, which shows that earlier moralists understood

that priests might not be able to celebrate publicly during such times. The bottom line is that

the Catholic Church generally did whatever was reasonable to prevent the spread of disease

and to comply with rational city ordinances.

Jesus, in the temptation stories, tells the devil that “it is not good to put the Lord your God to the

test.” And throughout the Gospels He is always confronted by the Pharisees and Scribes

demanding that He perform some sort of miracle. This normally happens right after He has

performed an amazing miracle like the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. Maybe the miracle

that He has performed in these cases is creating creatures (human beings) with the capacity to

overcome these problems using their reason and intellect. Remember God did not create illness

and natural disasters. These happen because sin throws the world into chaos. Jesus did though

conquer sin and death and walks with us even during these hard times.

Secondly, it is in fact seriously unethical to attribute to the leaders of the Catholic Church

the principal intention of selfishly trying to protect themselves from getting sick. (The

technical word here is “calumny.”) Bishops and priests do have the right to try to avoid

getting sick, as a matter of fact, and it is a natural right that cannot be denied to them even if

one disagrees with their prudential decisions. More to the point, they also can infect older

members of their communities who will be likely to die. (As I write this, two older

Dominican priests I know have died from the virus this past week, and dozens of others are

struggling with the illness. I wonder how many of my confreres will have to die before critics

will concede that it is reasonable for younger priests who live in rectories with them to take

serious precautions?) But this set of concerns, while legitimate, is in fact secondary. The

primary issue the bishops are concerned with is the protection of others. This virus spreads

through social contact, purely and simply. Often those who have it are asymptomatic and

can transmit it even when they think they are healthy enough to say Mass or attend Mass.

I remember a priest giving a homily saying that “he wished that his wishing would make pizza

nonfattening,” but alas he knew no matter how much he wished, traditional pizza would never be

nonfattening. I wish this virus was not transmitted the way that it is. I wish that I could say

Mass with all of you in the pews, but not if it means that I would be responsible for the death of

any of you.

In saying this I am presuming that some essential services can and should be made available

to the laity, such as keeping churches open for public prayer or Eucharistic adoration with

spatial distancing. Churches should be able to provide confessions in safe circumstances,

facilitate anointings, and carry out private marriage ceremonies and baptisms, all under the

guidance of due prudence. I’m also presuming that the measures enacted by the bishops are

temporary, as clearly, they are intended to be. A worldwide pandemic of this nature is not an

ordinary event, and thus leads to many uncertainties in the short and long term. That the

Church should suspend public Masses temporarily is defensible as the most reasonable

course of action given the novel and unpredictable nature of the illness. It is objectively the

best course in such circumstances to err on the side of safety in the protection of life.

When I get really frustrated with everything, I remind myself that a month or two is really not

that long of a time in an institution that has lasted for close to 2,000 years. It is a reminder to me

that what irritates me most is that I do not have control of the future. I don’t know when

“normal” will be here or even what “normal” will look like. I then remind myself that it is not my

job to know. It is my job to remain holy during this time. What I mean by “holy” is to “love

everyone as God loves them.” How am I doing that to the best of my ability?

minors and vulnerable adults in the Archdiocese is required

to register in the new system before December 31, 2020.

This includes those new to service and those who are currently

in service. For those who have already attended a Protecting

God’s Children workshop, your previous training date will

transfer to this new system. All clergy, volunteers, and

employees will register for an updated background screening,

view two new online training modules on abuse reporting and

the Code of Ethical Conduct, and agree to the updated Code of

Ethical Conduct. Please go to www.preventandprotectstl.org to

register. The passcode is stlprotect. More info can be found at

https://www.stjoemanchester.org/safe-environment-program.

When SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital opened

its doors as the nation’s first free-standing Catholic pediatric

hospital, a promise was made to the community that any child in

need of care would be welcomed, whether their parents could afford

to pay for care or not. That promise still holds true today.

St. Louis has a long tradition of responding generously in times of

crisis, coming together in solidarity to give hope to those in need.

SSM Health Cardinal Glennon is a proud part of that tradition, and

we need you now more than ever.

In this extraordinary time of crisis, our costs to deliver care are

extraordinary as well. Now is the time for our dear friends in the

faith community to come together and partner with us as we uphold

a commitment to our mission of faith-filled health care services,

delivered by some of the region’s best caregivers: Through our

exceptional health care services, we reveal the healing presence of God.

Please join us by making a gift during Glennon Sunday weekend,

June 6-7, online at glennon.org. Together we will continue to make

miracles possible bringing God’s love and joy into the lives of our

young patients. On behalf of our patients and families, may God

bless you for providing hope, healing, faith and compassion to every

child who walks through the doors at SSM Health Cardinal

Glennon.

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They do not need to wear a

cape or be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Neither

Marvel nor Disney has a cornerstone on the hero market. During

these challenging times, all around us, we see everyday people

doing extraordinary things. We're coming together as a parish

community to honor the workers and volunteers who are making a

difference. To the healthcare providers, first responders, delivery

drivers, sanitation workers, mail carriers, supermarket cashiers,

schoolteachers, and thousands of others, we say thank you.

We'd like to take our appreciation one step further. If you know a

parishioner who is that hero making a difference in their essential

work, we want to know. Please send us their picture for our

"Everyday Heroes" display. They will be recognized through the

bulletin, website and visual display in the church. When we are

able to return as a community, we will all see the faces of the many

who made a difference.

public display in one or more media sources. When submitting a picture,

include name of person in photo, profession, and contact number. If a

picture of someone under the age of 18 is submitted, an accompanying

��A��N��Q��RF��

Sharing the Gospel Jesus gave us two commandments. The first

is Love God above all things and the second is Love your neighbor

as yourself. Make good choices. Put God first in your life. Say a

prayer before getting out of bed every morning. Say a prayer every

night. Treat others like you would like to be treated. If you love

Jesus and obey his commandments, the Holy Spirit will be sent to

help you.

Prayer Jesus, help me be kind and helpful to my family and

friends.

Something to Draw Draw yourself saying a prayer before you

get out of bed in the morning.

Mission for the Week Every morning and every night I will

thank God for my family and friends.

Sunday Mass recorded at St. Joseph is available on

the parish website.

Daily Masses (Monday through Saturday) from

Bishop Barron’s private chapel are also available

on the parish website.
