Stewardship Reflection
“No servant can serve two masters. He will hate one and
love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and mammon (wealth).” LUKE 16:13
Is money a “god” that you put before God? Giving money to
support the Church and other charity is a pillar of our Faith,
just like attending Mass every Sunday and participating in
parish ministry. Giving money frees us from being a slave to
money and increases our dependence on God and to trust
that He will provide all that we need.
"Ningún siervo puede servir a dos señores. Porque aborrecerá
a uno y amará al otro, o se apegará a uno y despreciará al otro.
No se puede servir a Dios y a las riquezas." Lucas 16:13
¿Es el dinero un "dios" que se pone delante de Dios? Dar
dinero para apoyar a la Iglesia y otras caridades es un pilar de
nuestra Fe, así como asistir a misa todos los domingos y par-
ticipar en el ministerio parroquial. Dar dinero nos libera de
ser un esclavo del dinero y aumenta nuestra dependencia en
Dios y confiar en que Él proveerá todo lo que necesitamos.

Respect Life Corner
The Fruit of Our Lives – We see the fruit of our lives in
our children. But our vocation to fruitfulness is greater than
even this.
Learn, Act, Connect, Pray: Everything is called to gener-
ate new life in others and to proclaim the great hope of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Even if we cannot have children, our
love is called to be fruitful in our work and rest, our family
life, or adoration and mission. All of us, whatever our state
in life, are called to spiritual parenthood. Pray that we hear
and recognize our own call.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
Not enough.
A personal relationship with God is important. But it is not
enough. Not if we listen well to the spoken Word of God.
From Amos and the People of the Old Testament, we learn
this: do not be greedy, do not cheat, do not beat down the
poor. From Luke, we learn this: own your possessions and
use them for good. Do not let them own you. Do not – be-
cause we are mere stewards of what belongs to another. It
really all belongs to God the Creator of all.
If I look at all I have, what can I give away?
How will I serve God by serving others?
This week, I will _________________________.
Retired Priests Collection
On both ordinary and extraordinary days, our priests have been

them during their retirement years through a gift to the Retired
Diocesan Priests Collection. All funds will be used for long-term
nursing care, Medicare supplemental insurance and prescription
medications. Note: Our diocesan priests do not receive any fund-
ing from the Retirement Fund for Religious collection which is

Message from TDF
Evangelization, Stewardship & Community Building
Today, Sunday, September 18 is Catechetical Sunday. The 2016 focus is on the theme “Prayer: The Faith
Prayed.” Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists are called forth to be commissioned
for their ministry. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays,
by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all
to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith. In both St. Joseph Parish and St. Paul Parish there are
members of the faith community who have accepted the role of catechist, one who share the faith with others in the Parish
School of religion (PSR) program. There are others who serve as catechists in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
(RCIA), youth ministry and catechesis, Bible study programs and other adult faith formation programs. Through our Bap-
tism each one of us is called to be a “prophet”, on who elected to bring God’s message to others both in our words and ac-
tions. I extend my sincere thanks to all who have accepted the call to serve as catechists.
The first annual joint Parish Family Picnic was a great gathering on a beautiful day. I was quite delighted with the number of
parishioners from St. Paul Parish who attended. I am grateful to all who made the event so wonderful.
This past week I, with the priests of the diocese, participated in the annual Priests’ Convocation in St.
Louis. It is always good to gather with one another and share conversation, study, prayer, and fellow-
ship. Please pray for the priests of the diocese for vocations to the Priesthood.

The first annual St. Joseph and St. Paul Parish Family
Picnic was a great success. Parishioners from both par-
ishes came out in numbers that were even larger than
last years. Everyone enjoyed the plentiful great food,
music, games and attractions that were there. We also
paid a special tribute to all of our first responders in
memory of their efforts during the September 11th trag-
edy; who were represented at the picnic by our Fire,
Police and the Air Evac Helicopter Team.
We would like to give thanks to all those from St. Jo-
seph and St. Paul who worked so tirelessly and dili-
gently to make our picnic such a success and pleasure
for all who attended. Don’t miss looking at the pictures
and videos on our Webpage and Facebook page!
