As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he
saw Simon and his brother Andrew
casting their nets into the sea; they were
fishermen. Jesus said to them, "Come
after me, and I will make you fishers of
men." - Mk 1:16-17

Outreach - Red Cross
On February 21 at 9:00 a.m. the American Red Cross
will conduct training in Management of Emergency
Shelters at St. Joseph Catholic Church. This training
will be held at the Family Life Center. The four hour
session will give training in ice storm shelter management. Volunteers will work in shifts, and transportation will be provided for all shelter workers that reside
in Williamson County. Shelter shift length will be determined at the volunteer‟s discretion. While the facility is in no way prepared to serve as a long-term shelter, the Family Life Center can provide shelter for a
lesser emergency such as an ice storm.
Nevertheless, in the event of a tornado, the FLC could
be prepared and experienced enough to handle emergency food distribution. Our large field and parking
lot could also serve as an easy access for triage and
evacuation.
If you would like to help the Outreach Committee in
this community service project, please call the Parish
Office at 993-3194 opt. 1 and leave your name and
number with LaVerne.
Outreach thanks you and hopes to see you at the training. The outreach team meet the second Wednesday
of the month at 6:00 pm in the FLC Welcome Room.
Please join us!

Respect Life Corner
Carrying Christmas into the New Year – When we
witness suffering in the world around us, we know that
many did not have a carefree, merry Christmas. The
world is broken. There is suffering. And God Himself
comes into that suffering to be with us. This is the true
nature of compassion – to suffer with.
Learn, Act, Connect, Pray: In this new year, how do
we carry the message of Christmas in our hearts? How
do we live its truth in our lives, rather than pack it
away with the ornaments? Let us not forget that we
are called to love one another as Christ loved us, to
heal the brokenhearted and to enter compassionately
into the suffering of others.

Emma's Exposition
In his homily of November 14, Pope Francis said that “We
all have a responsibility to look out for children. We all
have a responsibility to give the best that we have and the
best that we have is the faith. In a world of images” and cell
phones, words are not enough; rather, “Example! Example!”
The Catholic Church teaches that parents are the first teachers of the faith to their children. As many parents may
agree, it is difficult to speak to children when competing
with so much technology and distraction. Parents may also
agree that it is easier said than done to provide an example
to children. However, there are many easy actions parents
can take to be an example of the Catholic faith:
Go to Mass every week and holy days (even on vacation);
Actively participate in Mass (sing, respond, leave after final
song); Bow reverently before receiving the Eucharist;
Genuflect when entering and exiting the pew, and encourage children to do the same; Bless yourself with holy water
at entering and exiting church, and encourage children;
Celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation regularly; Pray
before meals, at bedtime and in the car; Read from a children‟s Bible and a book about a saint; Use “teachable moments” (holidays, new items…) to talk to the children about
Jesus; Text quotes from the Bible etc. to your child; Look at
the Church calendar and learn something about the Church
seasons and the saint of the day; Leave notes on child‟s pillow or in lunch bag or around the house with quotes from
the Bible, etc.; Buy Catholic books for your children.
These are just a few suggestions. There are countless resources on the internet, Apps for I-phone (many are free)
and printed books to look through.

Message from TDF
Evangelization, Stewardship &
Community Building
Have you checked out the new St. Joseph
Church website? The website address is:
www.stjosephmarionil.com. You can read the bulletin
on line, connect with St. Joseph Church Youth Ministry and connect with the Diocese of Belleville website
and with the Vatican website. I am so grateful to
Donna Bragee and Mary Belanger who spent many,
many hours preparing the site. In the future, as I have
already written in this column, individual parishioners
will be invited to give a “View the Pew” – a witness
and part of the story of the faith journey. These stories
will be posted on our parish website, with a summary
in the bulletin. Stay tuned.

I would like to direct you attention to the website of
Diocese of Belleville: www.diobelle.org; on which are
links to the document produced at the October 2014
Synod of Bishops, called "Relatio Synodi." There is
also a link to a questionnaire for the upcoming 2015
Synod of Bishops on Marriage and the Family. As requested by the Bishop, all are invited to respond. I
would like to organize a small group or groups to pray,
reflect and respond to Pope Francis‟ questions. If you
are interested in participating in this process, please
call me or leave a message at the Parish Office. This
process will be conducted during Lent. I know that the
questions are many and will be impossible to address
all of them. I hope that we will be able to meet two or
three times and respond to areas of interest. Please go
to the diocesan website and view the questionnaire.
Also on the diocesan website is Bishop Braxton‟s recent reflection on recent racial issues facing our country, entitled, The Racial Divide in the United States: A
Reflection for the World Day of Peace 2015.

Congratulations to the
young people of our parish
who recently celebrated the
Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time.
