My Jesus,

I believe that You

are present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

I love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite

myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

Your generous contribution to support the mission and

ministries of St. Joseph/St. Anthony Parishes has always

been greatly appreciated. Your stewardship is an act of

thanksgiving for all that God has done for you and your

loved ones. During the Coronavirus pandemic, some of

us cannot be physically together to celebrate the Holy

Mass, but we can still make a gift of ourselves by

continuing to support our parish by digital giving or

through the US mail. No gift is too small or

insignificant. God bless you in advance for your parish

support.

Dear Parishioner, With so much uncertainty regarding the COVID-19

virus and increasing recommendations to avoid crowds

and take proper safety precautions, we wanted to remind

you that we have options in place now that you can use

and our mission should you elect to stay home and

worship. Online Giving is available for you to make

contributions to the church. This option makes use of

That Man Is You

Starting Back in

the Fall!

TMIY is back this coming

fall! Starting Friday September 11 -- 5:45 am

Breakfast, 6:20 Presentation, 7:30 dismissal.

Whether you plan to meet in person, plan to meet

virtually, or need to do a combination of the two,

we've got you covered! Men need spiritual

development now more than ever. Don't delay. Let's

get started!

St. Joseph Now Has

an Assisted Listening

System 72.9MHz

A personal PA allows

parishioners to use their own

audio device to listen to priest/speaker/lector so that

they may hear what is being said. The sound is

broadcast on 72.9MHz which is a FM frequency

(although not on the regular radio which is 87 to

109MHz). Devices can be purchased from William

Sound retailers, online retailers, EBay, and the like.

Some cheaper units will be available for purchase

from the Parish Office. In general, the device allows

the listener to control the volume and hear better

what is being audibly conveyed. These devices are

not necessarily for those whose hearing is impaired

but also for those who want to hear more clearly

and distinctly what is being said. The better the

device and/or earphones; the better the sound

quality. It is well worth the investment to get

something that allows one to hear better. Our

Church is like a cave with an echo. It is great for

concerts and chorales but not so great for public

addresses. Bad acoustics, area of seating, and other

factors affect how we hear. This system will help us

all out. These PA devices help eliminate a lot of the

interference that comes from these negative factors.

If interested in utilizing this system, speak to your

Pastor, Fr. Gary.

Food Pantry Catholic Charities’ food pantry is

open Monday – Thursday from

10 am – 2 pm. The food pantry is

located at 2505 Maine Ave in

Metairie. Clients should go down

the driveway to the left of the building. The food

pantry is located in the back building, fourth door

from the front. Clients can receive a pre-packed bag

of food and some optional supplemental items every

two weeks. Clients fill out a simple intake form at

their first visit, and at subsequent visits only need

provide their name. Please wear a mask and respect

social distancing when receiving assistance.

“In Silence with the Cloud

of the Unkowing” Registration is now open for the 2020-21 schedule

of “In Silence” retreats at Saint Joseph Abbey. The

first retreat takes place Labor Day weekend, Sept.

4-6, 2020. A series led by the Abbey’s Fr. Ephrem

Arcement, O.S.B., “In Silence” is intended to help

adults find spiritual renewal and awakening by

entering more deeply into the silent depths of God’s

presence through exploring the life and writings of

the mystics of the Christian tradition. The theme

this year is “In Silence with the Cloud of the

Unknowing.” Visit www.saintjosephabbey.com/in-

silence for additional dates and to register.

If Gretna Fest happens this year, it will be

Friday September 25th through Sunday

September 27th.

St Joseph's Third Annual Chili-Cookoff will

happen this year only if Gretna Fest happens.

We will keep you posted as to certainty of this

wonderful event.
