St. Joseph Catholic Parish/School

Fun Fact: Christ instituted the Sacrament of Reconciliation to help us get back on our feet. Make sure you go to confession often — no sin is too great for God's mercy!

Virtues, EXPLAINED!
God Himself is Truth. Therefore, if we belong to God, we must live truthfully — in small matters and in large ones, so that the witness we bear to the ultimate Truth of God shall always be taken seriously.

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK —
In his mercy, Jesus sent his Apostles into ministry — and the Apostles are still ministering today. We see them in the sanctuary, in the confessional. They are our priests, sent to shepherd Christ’s sheep. This week, let’s pray for our shepherds.

Question of the Week — Jesus commissioned his 12 Apostles to carry on his missionary work of healing the sick and exorcising unclean spirits. Do you have a sense of mission for your life? What is it?

Did you know that June is the Month of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and that today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart? This feast celebrates Jesus' divine love, mercy, and his humanity!�
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you!

Our St. Joseph Youth Group hosted its very first Light Project! ✨ Entirely designed and led by our amazing high school youth, students in grades 2–7 were welcomed to grow in their Catholic faith. Our older youth dove deep into this weekend’s Gospel, while the younger kids learned about St. Anthony (feast day June 13th) with a fun "lost sheep" scavenger hunt. We are so proud of our teen leaders! 🐑❤️

Please join us next month Tuesday, July 14, from 6:00-7:00.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK — Jesus teaches the crowds that whoever eats his body and drinks his blood will live forever. Who could you invite this week to attend Sunday Mass and receive the Eucharist with you?

Virtues, EXPLAINED!
Gratitude pays a kind of “moral debt.” Children owe it to their parents; citizens owe it to their country. The Eucharist is the most perfect act of gratitude, wherein God is acknowledged as the source of all good.
