An aspect of Saint Joseph that has been emphasized from the time of the first social Encyclical, Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum, is his relation to work. Saint Joseph was a carpenter who earned an honest living to provide for his family. From him, Jesus learned the value, the dignity and the joy of what it means to eat bread that is the fruit of one’s own labour.
In our own day, when employment has once more become a burning social issue, and unemployment at times reaches record levels even in nations that for decades have enjoyed a certain degree of pros-perity, there is a renewed need to appreciate the importance of dignified work, of which Saint Joseph is an exemplary patron.
Work is a means of participating in the work of sal-vation, an opportunity to hasten the coming of the Kingdom, to develop our talents and abilities, and to put them at the service of society and fraternal com-munion. It becomes an opportunity for the fulfilment not only of oneself, but also of that primary cell of society which is the family. A family without work is particularly vulnerable to difficulties, tensions, es-trangement and even break-up. How can we speak of human dignity without working to ensure that everyone is able to earn a decent living?
Working persons, whatever their job may be, are cooperating with God himself, and in some way be-come creators of the world around us. The crisis of our time, which is economic, social, cultural and spiritual, can serve as a summons for all of us to rediscover the value, the importance and necessity of work for bringing about a new “normal” from which no one is excluded. Saint Joseph’s work re-minds us that God himself, in becoming man, did not disdain work. The loss of employment that af-fects so many of our brothers and sisters, and has increased as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, should serve as a summons to review our priorities. Let us implore Saint Joseph the Worker to help us find ways to express our firm conviction that no young person, no person at all, no family should be without work!
Excerpt from the Apostolic Letter Patris Corde of the Holy Father Francis on the 150th Anniversary of the proclamation of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church.
Pope Francis describes St. Joseph as a working father.

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells His disci-ples to “Come away by yourselves to a desert-ed place and rest a while.” Vincent de Paul, a great man of action was also a contemplative.
His contemplation of God’s love overflowed into practical love for the poor.
Please say a special pray for the poor and forgotten, as you give your gift to the Society of
St. Vincent de Paul.
“Because of our belief and hope in the Resurrection, we can face death not with fear, but with preparation…. We prepare for eternal life by choosing to love and follow God now, in our daily lives and decisions.” Read more at www.respectlife.org/end-of –life considerations

St. Mary Parish’s tithe for the month of June
Is unavailable at this time
Parish Monthly
Tithe
2021 being a year of healing and reconcilia-tion, we need to be mindful of the loss in order to seek healing. Our Junior High students are working on a project to give names to the roughly 17 children that enter eternity silently and prematurely in our area each month through this source of pain, so that we can pray for these young lives and for healing for the families. These are the names chosen for the month of July. George Roberto Sandra Ashley Sam Laura Angel Alana Ciara Leo McKenna Zach James Max Nathan Jake Mia
Please pray for these innocents and their families and for protection for every human
being without exception.
Join us in the mission of passing the faith to our youth!
A Catechist is someone who is called to teach and share the faith by word and example. At St. Mary, it is important to find individuals who would like to journey with the students and their families as we all grow into a deeper relationship with the Lord and seek to become His disciples. St. Mary Religious Ed program is in need of volunteers for the next school year to help as catechist and classroom aides. To learn more about the requirements, time commitment and skills needed please use link below. Please let us know if you feel called to this ministry or if you
have any questions. Contact Annalisa at

Stewardship
In today’s Gospel, Jesus planned to slip away from the crowds for a few moments of peace and a little rest.
When He saw the people gathered, however, He put His needs aside to meet the needs of others. Sometimes, as
good stewards, we are called to do the same.

ST. MARY MAGDALENE FEAST DAY - JULY 22
She is one of the most appealing characters in the Gospels. Only a few details about her appear there, yet Christians know her as woman of great love, desire, and unwavering loyalty. She was born at Magdala, near Tiberias, in Galilee. She stood beside Jesus while He was dying on the Cross, with Mary, His mother; His beloved apostle, John; His mother’s sister, Salome and Mary, wife of Clopas. They watched helplessly as Jesus suffered through the dark hours of Good Friday. Then with the others she prepared His body for burial. Early Easter morning, she returned anxiously to His tomb to complete the burial anointings, only to find His body was gone. She began to weep. Through her tears she suddenly saw a man standing bedside her whom she thought was the gardener. When He spoke her name, she knew He was Jesus, risen from the dead. “Mary!” Jesus said to her. “Rabboni! Teacher!” Mary joyfully responded. Then Jesus spoke these mysterious words, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.” We can see Jesus, not rejecting her at this joyous moment, but readying her, who followed Him so devotedly in life, for following Him now in faith. “I have seen the Lord,” she announced to Jesus’ disciples. Her experiences of the Lord, in His ministry, in the desolate hours on Calvary, in the brightening hours of Easter morning, echo through the centuries to strengthen our faith. She loved much, and through her love she found the God she sought.
“Bach and Beyond” Organ Concert at the Abbey The Fox Valley Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will be presenting the 22nd annual “Bach and Beyond” Organ Concert on Friday, July 30 at 7:30 PM at Marmion Abbey, 850 Butter-field Road (Rt. 56) in Aurora. Twelve local organists will be playing music composed by Bach, Buxtehude, Couperin, and others on the Marmion Abbey’s magnificent Martin Ott pipe organ, one of the finest organs in the Fox Valley area. There is no cost to attend, but there will be a “free-will offering” to sup-port scholarships for young organists. All are welcome! Please contact Karl Bruhn at [email protected] or Br. Mariano DiCristofano, OSB at [email protected] for additional information.
