Update on Prince Closing The developer has requested an exten-sion on the closing of Prince Avenue. The deadline is now October. Every deadline missed by the developer means additional funds are placed into escrow. Unfortunately, the Archdiocese will not let us start on planning the new church until Prince is sold and we know the total funds we have to begin our plans. Right now, we are estimating 5.5 million for the property and 3 million from our Capital Campaign. We recognize everyone’s frustration at the long process and thank you for your patience. In every cloud, God sends a silver lin-ing—this delay enables our RE program to use the Prince parking lot during home football games to raise money! This will be a great blessing as we have over 400 students in RE this year!
40 Years of Charity
St. Joseph Charities are gearing up for their 40th year helping those in our community! Stay tuned for information on a celebration as well as the Giving Tree Program.

The Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend is 44 hours where married cou-ples can really make some “home im-provements”.

I may be poor but no millionaire can be
so happy as me, if they haven’t got the
love of God in their souls. Think what it
is—not to hate anything but evil; to be
full of love for every creature; to be
frightened of nothing; to be sure that all
things will turn to good; to know that
nothing can separate us from God who
loves us, and who fills our souls with
peace and joy.
This blessedness is offered to everyone;
it is the good news that Jesus came to
preach to the poor.

Come join us for an Apologetics Series with Fr. Paul! The word “apologetics” refers
to explaining the Catholic faith to those who disagree with it or don’t understand it.
The term comes from the Greek word “apologia”, which means explanation. In this
use of the term, we are not talking about making an apology for some kind of offense
or mistake, but rather explaining why the Catholic faith is true, reasonable, and re-
demptive. All mature Catholics needs to be able to do this in order to fulfill their mis-
sion as witnesses of Christ and missionaries in the world.
Series topics include “Common Ground, Bishop Robert Barron, and Intelligent De-
sign.”
There is no charge for classes; food to be provided by participants on a rotating basis
via sign up sheets.
Classes start August 16/17

Se puede ser pobre pero ningún mil-lonario puede ser tan feliz como yo, si no tienen el amor de Dios en sus al-mas. Piensa lo que es, no para odiar todo lo malo; llenarse de amor por todas las criaturas; tener miedo de nada; para asegurarse de que todas las cosas volverán a ser buenas; saber que nada puede separarnos de Dios que nos ama, y que llena nuestras almas de paz y alegría. Esta bendición se ofrece a todo el mundo; es la buena noticia de que Jesús vino a predicar a los pobres.
