RECIPES WANTED !
So many folks have asked to buy St. Joseph Cookbooks but we no longer have those available and we will not be able to reprint them because of copyright laws. We are asking for your favorite recipes to put together a new Parish Cookbook. These cookbooks make wonderful gifts to pass on to family members and keep Mom’s traditional, favorite recipes into the new generations. Please bring your recipes to the Pastoral Center.
A SEASONAL REMINDER
Now that it is summer, please remember that the clothing ladies, young women, teenagers and girls wear to weekend and weekday Masses, be modest and appropriate. Short skirts, halter tops, short shorts, revealing tops and clothing that exposes more than it covers should not be worn to Mass. Please be respectful.

Stained Glass Windows
The roles of Jesus, Mary, Joseph, God, The Blessed Trinity and the Saints have been communicated to us through the symbol of stained glass. This is a key Catholic characteristic—sacramentality. Simply put, this means that God is made personal and concrete through ordinary actions and words, as well the saints. Stained glass emerged with the great Gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages. During a time when few people could read or write, these churches took on the role of “bibles in stone.” When people came to these churches, as we still do to ours today; they saw characters from the Scriptures, scenes from the life of Jesus and images of the saints and Mary. The Christian journey that they struggled to live daily is revealed in the stained glass images that are portrayed for us.
Tuesday, July 6 is the feast of Maria Goretti, child martyr. Born in 1890, Maria was twelve years old when her beloved father died in 1902. She was put in charge of the family while her mother, Assunta, worked in the fields. Allessandro Sernelli, a nineteen year old man who along with his father lived with the Goretti family, was someone who spent much time reading magazines of a questionable nature. On July 1, knowing she was alone, he attacked Maria growling, “Submit or die!” Maria, repelling his advances, replied, “Death, but not sin!” which so angered Allessandro that he fatally stabbed her over and over. She forgave him from her deathbed and he went to prison unremorseful until Maria came to him in a dream vision. Maria was canonized in 1950. It was the first time both a Saint’s mother and a Saint’s murderer attended a canonization, as Allessandro was now a Capuchin Franciscan lay brother. Maria Goretti is the patroness of teenage girls and a model of purity for youth.
RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults, also known as the RCIAis the process of study and preparation for adults wishing to become Catholics and/or receive the sacrament of Confirmation, if they were not confirmed as before the age of 18. It is a year of study and prayer that prepares and educates the individual for full initiation into the Catholic Faith. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a Roman Catholic, please call the Pastoral Center and ask for Louise. RCIA sessions will begin in September after Labor Day.
ATTENTION EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS: FOR YOUR INFORMATION
When Deacon Phil is present to assist the presider at weekend Masses, it is his responsibility and privilege to cleanse the sacred vessels after Holy Communion. If you are a Eucharistic Minister at a Mass where Deacon Phil is assisting, please allow him to fulfill his responsibilities in this capacity. After Holy Communion, the Eucharistic Ministers should bring the sacred vessels to the credence table and then return to their pews, unless otherwise requested to stay and help. Hopefully, this will alleviate any confusion there may be regarding the cleaning of sacred vessels after Holy Communion. If Deacon Phil is not present, Eucharistic Ministers serving at any given Mass should follow the procedure already established for cleansing the sacred vessels. Thank You for your understanding.
A Symbol of the Church
Lighted Candle: These suggest Jesus’s words, “I am the light of the world,” John 8:12. They also represent his twofold nature—human and divine, when two candlesticks are used.
