STEWARDSHIP: In the Gospel today, Jesus

warns us not to give in to hopes of repayment, but to give openhandedly to the poor and needy. That sort of giving mirrors the bountiful giving of God, and Jesus assures us it is blessed indeed!

CORRESPONSABILIDAD: En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos previene de que no tengamos esperanzas de ser recompensados por lo que damos, sino que: abramos con generosidad nuestras ma-nos para ayudar a los pobres y necesitados. Ésa es la única manera de reflejar la generosidad de Dios y Jesús nos confirma que está bendecida en sí misma.

Parents: For the safety of all children, I ask that an adult accompany them at all times while they are on the premises of the Church (church, gymnasium, etc.) Please escort them to the bathrooms so that they know, and we also, that they are safe. Thank you for your cooperation. Fr. Mike

Rooted in God’s love, St. Joseph Parish takes as its mission to be a welcoming faith community that lives and shares

the Gospel of Jesus Christ through prayer, formation, evangelization, fellowship, and service.

Arraigada en el amor de Dios, la parroquia de St. Joseph toma como su misión ser una comunidad de fe que da la bienvenida viviendo

y compartiendo el Evangelio de Jesucristo a través de la oración, formación, evangelización, confraternidad y servicio.

Regretfully, we have recently had several in-stances of items (money, cell phones, etc.) be-ing taken from cars parked in our lot. For your protection, we ask when you come to St. Joseph’s, to please lock your car. Make sure that you do not leave any valuables in the car. If you do have valuables, please put them out of sight. This is good advice for other places, too!

Lamentablemente, recientemente hemos tenido varias ocasiones de cosas (dinero, teléfonos celu-lares, etc.) que han sido llevados de nuestro esta-cionamiento.

Para su protección, les pido que cuando llegue a St. Joseph, por favor a tranque, con llave, su auto. Esté seguro que no deje nada de valor en su auto. Si tiene cosas de valor, favor de al-zarlas para que no estén en plano vista.

!Este es un buen consejo para otros lugares también!

class here in the fall!

If you have diabetes, you

have probably attended classes to help you

manage this disease, and feel that you don’t

need another one to tell you the facts.

You are probably right! But we are hosting a

class this fall that goes beyond that! You will

learn helpful tips on dealing with this disease,

and have the benefit of a peer group who can

talk about problems they have had, and solu-

tions that have helped them.

We’ll keep you informed about dates and times

of classes this fall when it is finalized!

Back to School time! A generous donor makes it possible for us to offer tuition assis-tance to our parish youth at (St. Augustine & St. Monica) CSGK schools the diocesan Cov-enant Scholarship program.

You’re eligible if you attend Mass regularly, are interested in a preschool to 8th grade Catholic education, and finances pose a difficulty in making this happen! For more info, call our parish office, 343-6256. (CSGK Hackett Catholic Prep has scholarships too!)
