A TRADITION FOR 23 YEARS
Each year on Disciples’ Response Fund Sunday we have heard a letter from our
bishop inviting us to respond in giving to the work of our local Church. Our parish
church has benefited from these grant monies as they helped to fund our Hispanic
Ministry, Youth Ministry, Parish Block Party, and Religious Education Programs. I
am providing you with a copy of Bishop Medley’s letter to help you in your prayerful
consideration of what you can give in the form of a financial donation to the work of
our Diocese of Owensboro. You have received information about this giving through
your mail and there are additional envelopes at the end of each pew. May God bless
you for the faith and the love that you have for the Church. In Peace, Fr. Carl
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Today’s Gospel reading includes the passage that, “He
summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them,
‘Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me.’”
This reading goes straight to the heart of the Christian
calling. Crosses are not pleasant things and there is a
reason we call our life struggles “crosses.”
And yet, as Jesus so clearly tells Peter and the disciples in the Gospel, the sure way to follow him is to deny themselves of the very
things that are holding them to worldly pursuits.
Every day we need to choose whether we will use our resources for God’s
glory. Our daily decisions point to our true priorities, whether it’s budgeting our
time to visit a sick family member or writing out the family grocery list.
Do we truly focus our priorities on generosity and the needs of others?
We all know that we can sometimes be ungrateful for the resources God has
given us. With careful, prayerful discernment, we can foster a deeper appreciation for our gifts and a deeper awareness of how those gifts may be shared.
For 23 years the Diocese of Owensboro has set aside one Sunday in September to reflect on our individual gifts and ask for support for the Disciples’ Response Fund. We are extremely thankful for the thousands of faithful people
who have contributed. We ask those of you who did not contribute to consider
joining our efforts this year.
There are brochures and pledge cards in your pews about the powerful work
of the Disciples Response Fund. Every parish and ministry in our local Church
has benefited from this fund.
Without a doubt these are challenging requests. Our local Church community
has many needs, and likewise our homes have many needs too. The prayer of our
diocese is that we, as a faithful community, may reflect on our individual circumstances, meet our families’ needs, but also respond to this request.
Our people in the Diocese of Owensboro have always responded when they
could, and for that I thank you.
Speaking as your bishop, I ask for your daily prayers for me as I serve as
steward of the Diocese of Owensboro.
Please, prayerfully consider your response this year. Thank you, and may
God bless you.
Yours in Christ,

LOOKING TO THE SCRIPTURE
25th Sunday in Ordinary Time
September 20, 2015
The scandal of this gospel is that Jesus, the leader and teacher of
the disciples, will be reduced to the least when He is handed
over and dies. How do the
A WORD OF REFLECTION
disciples react to this scan How do I find myself clingdalous teaching? They
ing to status in my life?
argue among themselves
 How does Jesus challenge
about who is the greatest!
me to be a servant?
Jesus rightly reduces them
 How am I reduced to silence
to silence. They do not
in my life?
understand that Jesus’ own
death is a call to die to
self, to choose to become the greatest by being the least. Confronted with this saving mystery, we ought to all be reduced to
silence, but for the right reason.
Please remember Sts. Joseph & Paul Parish in your will.
Talk to Alan Sims, our Stewardship Minister, if you have
questions about estate planning.
Alan can be reached at 270-683-5641 ext. 239

LIFE MESSAGE
We can continue to look forward to reading these Life Messages written by our parishioner Stephanie Blondin. Stephanie
and her husband Phillip are members of Sts. Joseph and Paul
and they have 7 children. Stephanie is a stay at home mom,
who from home wants to work to make a difference in our
Church, and most assuredly with raising a greater awareness
for the issue of life and bringing an end to abortion in all its
forms.
CHANGING HEARTS
“There comes a time when we heed a certain call, when the
world must come together as one. There are people dying,
and it’s time to lend a hand to life, the greatest gift of all. Let
us realize that a change can only come when we stand together as one.”
Do you recognize these
lyrics? They are from the
1985 megahit “We Are the
World” which was released
in an effort to raise money
for the starving people of
Africa. In 2010, a remake
of the song was released to
raise money for Haiti after
the earthquake. The words speak volumes for combating not
only hunger and grave poverty, but abortion as well. If ever
there was a time to “heed the call” it is NOW. We must come
together as a faithful, loving, Catholic people, who acknowledge the evil that is abortion and fight to end it. I believe that
change can come when we unite to protect LIFE, the greatest
gift of all.
WORD OF LIFE
“Although we may feel unsure how best to comfort those who mourn,
we must stand with them in their time of suffering. Miscarriage touches
the lives of many people, yet all too often this tragedy remains unaddressed. This lack of response not only often leads to unresolved grief,
but also fails to clearly manifest our belief that each person, from conception onward, is precious and unique.”

Program, USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities www.goo.gl/1BM5HC
CHURCH DOOR OPEN FOR PRAYER DURING THE
DAY– The side door of our Church, located by the ramp, is
open on weekdays beginning at 8am through Mass and Confession times in the evening. This will give our parish a place of
solace and peace to come and pray and to be in the presence of
Jesus, whose mercy endures forever. When we can spend time
in quiet with God, we can more clearly see where Jesus is.
CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD IS NOW BEING OFFERED AT OUR SUNDAY EVENING 6PM MASS
- Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLW) is for children ages 3
through the 1st grade. While they are attending CLW, they will
listen to the Sunday Scripture, and work on a project, a song, or
dramatization of the Scripture that will help them to learn about
Jesus and our Catholic Faith.

24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
CAN YOU HELP WITH FOOD FOR ST
VINCENT DE PAUL FOOD PANTRY? Our
St Vincent de Paul food pantry is in need of
food. You can help by bringing canned food,
and other non-perishable food items to Church. You can place
your gift of food in the wooden food box located in the main
entry of the church. Thank you for your care for the poor.
ST VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY REFLECTION
September 13-Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time:
In today’s Gospel Jesus says “If a man wishes to come after me, he
must deny his very self, take up his cross, and follow in my steps.”
The cross of Jesus and the crosses of his members can evangelize us:
the sick, who bear illness with courage; the grieving, who hope
against hope; the dying, who clearly trust in the resurrection; the
suffering of our poor brothers and sisters who are hungry and homeless, but who still trust in God’s love. Is there a neighbor or friend
of yours who is in temporary need because of a loss of a job or an
illness? Please leave a message for the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul…we want to help!
THE WELCOME CENTER
At Sts. Joseph and Paul we want to
welcome each and every person to
our Church family. We do this by
caring for them and inviting them to
be a part of Jesus, who especially
reaches out to the lost. To assist with
this work of Jesus you can stop by the
Welcome Center at the doors of our
church.
At The Welcome Center You Can:
 Become a Member of our Parish.
 Learn about how an adult or child receives the Sacrament
of Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist, Confirmation, etc.
 Ask about Marriage in the Catholic Church.
 Join the ministry of Hospitality, Lector, Server, Eucharistic

Sunday of Advent, November 30, 2014. It will close on the World
Day of Consecrated Life, February 2, 2016. In his Apostolic Letter
Pope Francis writes: “Together let us thank the Father, who called us
to follow Jesus by fully embracing the Gospel and serving the
Church ...”
In response to this Year of Consecrated Life, this Vocation Statue,
along with the following prayer, will be given to a volunteer at each
weekend Liturgy. The volunteer will be asked to pray this prayer
every day along with their household and return the Vocation statue

“The Lord God opens my ear that I may hear;”

MINISTRY OF THE WEEK
Crosswalk Minister: This ministry serves as an extra means of safety, particularly for the physically impaired and children as they seek to cross 4th Street
through the designated crosswalk in the intersection of 4th and Bolivar streets
before and after a weekend Mass. Those who assist in this ministry are not
police officers and simply escort folks through the crosswalk when there is a
sufficient break in the flow of traffic to make it safe to cross. The minister
wears an illuminated vest with a Velcro closure in the front of it that easily fits
over whatever the minister may be wearing. There is also a flashlight for use
as needed according to the degree of darkness outside and a hand held stop
sign to be used should an emergency arise (such as a fall or ankle sprain)
among one of the individuals being escorted through the crosswalk. The vest,
etc. are stored in the closet beside the Reconciliation room in the church.
Frequency of serving will depend upon the number of parishioners who participate in the ministry and the time required is from 30 minutes before Mass
until time for Mass to begin, and approximately five minutes after Mass.
For more information about this ministry, or any other ministry in the church,
contact Alan Sims or April Dickens at the parish office at 270-683-5641.

Hearts for Haiti Student Sponsorship Program for St. Joseph Catholic School is up and successfully running. We want to thank those
who have agreed to sponsor a child for another year. If you would
like to sponsor a child, call the parish office at 270-683-5641.
Sponsorship Forms are also available on Sunday in church at the

Education is these children’s only hope to end their extreme poverty. Thank you for your kindness and prayers for our Haiti Sponsorship Program.
ITEMS NEEDED:
BLESSED WITH A DRESS
Katherine Brand is accepting
donations of fabric, lace and
thread to make dresses for the
girls of our sister parish in

We thank
Mrs. Brand for the over 2,280

for the girls at St. Joseph Parish. Three yards of fabric will make two teen dresses. You may
bring your donation to Mass or the parish office. Please mark your
bag containing supplies for “HAITI”. More fabric is needed!
“WATER WITH BLESSINGS” PROJECT – These monies were used
to purchase water filters at $60 apiece. These filters were

as well as three other families each. If you have questions or

marriages on January 1, 2015. This was done in relation to Pope Francis' desire to make it more accessible for marriages to be annulled in the

CHASTITY PROJECT SEMINAR
In this seminar, which has been delivered to more than one million teens
on six continents, Jason and Crystalina Evert reveal the compelling vision of God’s plan for human sexuality and present an uplifting case for
practicing the virtue of chastity. By addressing the issues that teens
struggle with most, such as sexual pressure, pornography, modesty, and
starting over, Jason and Crystalina offer encouragement for teens to
maintain their purity, or begin again if they’ve made mistakes in the past.
