JMJ
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
We o en hear the word “stewardship” when talking about various ministries in the Church. The
U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops says this about Stewardship: “Stewards of God’s gi s are not
passive Beneficiaries. We cooperate with God in our own redemp on and in the redemp on of others. We are also
obliged to be stewards of the Church. This mission—proclaiming and teaching, serving and sanc fying—is our task. It
is the personal responsibility of each one of us as stewards of the Church. All members of the Church have their own
roles to play in carrying out its mission.”
Our Parish Council members are stewards who work to make our parish a true community of faith. I’d like to welcome
the newest member to our Parish Council, Bob Zelinski. Bob is a graduate of St. Joseph School, Joliet Catholic High
School, and Joliet Junior College. He is married to Debbie (Vicich) and they have two young children, Eli and Olivia.
Bob was a member of the St. Joseph Youth Group and is a current member of the Holy Name Society. Please join me
in welcoming Bob and in thanking him for his willingness to serve.
I would like to thank Nancy Churnovic and Nick Szalinski for their service to Parish Council. Nancy served for many
years at various mes when the parish needed her. Nick, one of our youngest Parish Council members, also gave of
himself to serve St. Joseph Parish. I pray their service to our parish encourages others to step up and serve in ways
that they are able.
There are only two weeks un l our parish picnic—the 30th Annual Homecoming Fair. The event chairpersons, Lillian
Cepon and Mary Leja, are busily working on the final details for the weekend. The individual chairpersons are working
on volunteer schedules for their par cular areas. Have you signed up to work a shi or two yet? If not, please contact
one of the chairpersons or call the rectory. This is the main fundraiser for our parish each year. Invite your family,
friends, and neighbors to join us at St. Joe’s Park the weekend of June 22nd and 23rd. There will be plenty of food,
drinks, music, games, and much more, for everyone. Also, don’t forget to turn in your raffle ckets. If you need more,
call the rectory.
I ask for your prayers for Bob Zelinski as he begins his service on the Parish Council. Also, remember Nancy Churnovic
and Nick Szalinski in your prayers of thanksgiving for their devoted service over the years, and for all of those who
serve St. Joseph Parish in various ways. Pray, too, for the success of our Homecoming Fair and for good weather. Be
assured of my prayers for you.
Wishing you a Blessed Sunday and a wonderful week of work and prayer.
May God bless you and all those you love,
Fr. Timothy P. Andres, O. Carm.

Prayer to St. Joseph
(over 1900 years old)
Oh, St. Joseph, whose protec on is so great, so
strong, so prompt, before the throne of God, I
place in you all my interests and desires.
Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession,
and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings
through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, so that having engaged here
below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and
homage to the most loving of Fathers.
Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary contempla ng you and Jesus
asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while He reposes
near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine
Head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my
dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of depar ng souls, pray for
me. Amen.

Communications from the Bishop
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
On Father’s day, June 16, there will be a special
collec on to care for our infirm and re red
priests. The money raised from this collec on will go to the
fund which provides long term care for our priests who
need assisted living or skilled nursing care. Currently the
diocese cares for seven of our re red priests who need
these services. While we were blessed to ordain five young
men to the priesthood on May 18, we have many more
priests approaching re rement age. As such, there is a
need to strengthen the fund that will provide for their care
should they not be able to care for themselves. This collecon should not be confused with the collec on for the Rerement Fund for Religious, which is taken in December
and assists religious men and women who belong to religious orders. That collec on does not benefit or provide
care for our re red diocesan priests.
As we celebrate this Year of Faith, prayerfully consider making a dona on to help our aged and sick priests as an expression of apprecia on for all they have done to nourish
your life of faith through their spiritual guidance and celebra on of the sacraments. On behalf of all the ac ve and
re red priests of the diocese, I am grateful for your prayers
and for your generous support of the Father’s Day Collecon for our aged and infirm diocesan priests. Please be
assured of my prayers for you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend R. Daniel Conlon
Bishop of Joliet

Although Bishop-emeritus Joseph Imesch’s for eth anniversary as a bishop was marked last month, it is not too late to
congratulate him and to thank him for the many ways he
con nues to serve our diocese.
Please pray for all three of us.
Bishop R. Daniel Conlon
Thank you Lillian Cepon, Julie Kaluza, Mary Leja, and
Kay Lennon and your devoted helpers for providing

the calm moments trust Him, in the storms
call on Him and in all you do, be strong in
the power of His might. In Jesus’ name.
Amen

Vigil for Life, January 24, 2013
Hope and Life
Today’s readings tell the story of two widows. The first
reading relates the plight of the widow with whom the
prophet Elijah stayed; the Gospel tells about the widow of
Nain. In each story, the widow’s only son had died. For people who lived in those cultures, the son was the only support of a widow, and the carrying on of the family name by
the son was equal to immortality. A widow whose only son
has died could lose all hope.
Elijah and Jesus are the restorers of hope; they bring the
sons back to life. Saint Paul was metaphorically raised from
the dead when he experienced the conversion and call from
God that he describes in today’s second reading.
What are Chris ans called to do today? We may not be able
to raise the dead, but perhaps we can rekindle hope for a
single parent. We may not be able to convert a persecutor
like Paul, but if we speak the gospel openly and gently with
our lives, we might touch a life with the Good News.

“Father of love, hear our prayer for the sick
members of our community and for all who
are in need. Amid their suffering may they
find consola on in Your healing presence.
Show Your mercy as You cure illness, and
make broken bodies whole. We ask this through the Lord
Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.” Please
take the list below home & pray for the sick of our Parish.

Fifth Grade Assignment
A teacher in a Chris an school asked her 5th graders to
look at TV commercials and see if they could use them in
ways to communicate ideas about God:
God is like Tide, He gets the stains out others leave behind.
God is like Allstate, You’re in good hands with Him.
God is like Bounty, he’s the quicker picker upper...can
handle the tough jobs...and He won’t fall apart on you.
God is like Dial Soap, aren’t you glad you have Him? don’t
you wish everybody did?
God is like Coke, He’s the real thing!
