What is Stewardship?  “Stewardship” is a disciple’s response to what God asks.  We have all been given so many gifts and blessings by God.  He now asks us to share those gifts with others for the benefit of His kingdom!  These gifts include our time, talent and treasure. 
 
As a committed disciple of Jesus Christ, we make connections between stewardship, evangelization & Catholic social teaching and the challenges that consumerism & materialism are to the Christian steward. 

How to be a good steward….
FOCUS Missionary Team

The Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) is a Catholic collegiate outreach whose mission is to share the hope and joy of the gospel with college and university students, inspiring and equipping them for a lifetime of Christ-centered evangelization, discipleship and friendships in which they lead others to do the same. 

St. Joseph parish's assessment balance is $7830.00 toward the expenses of the FOCUS team that is ministering to the Mesa Catholic students at CMU. 

If you would like to help underwrite some of this expense, please contact Belle in the parish office at 243-0209.  Thank you for your kind generosity. 

A very BIG ‘Thank You’ to Mr. & Mrs. Robert C. Gochee for their generous donation to the FOCUS Missionary Team.

Glory and Praise to God!
 
This year’s Totus Tuus was a tremendous success!  Thank you so much to our generous parishioners for the food and drink donations!  (We went through 750 bottles of water!)  Thank you to our praying parishioners who held us in prayer all week!   And to the hands-on  volunteers who worked tirelessly during the week and set a shining example of Christ’s love for our children.   I truly believe that many good seeds were planted and great fruit is to come!  The team was so impressed with the kids, the parents, and the entire parish.  Our seminarian Andrew remarked that he sensed something really special is going on here.  Praise Jesus, and again, thank you all so very much!
 
In Christ,     Teresa Gill                             

Intentions/Intenciones
 
Regular Mass intentions require an offering of $10.00/Mass.
Other prayer intentions can be entered into the ‘Intentions Book’ which is located on the shelf near the west entrance of the Church (by the St. Joseph banner).  These intentions will not be ‘named’ for a particular Mass, but will be silently included in the general intentions.  Please consider this book for general prayer requests.  

* * * *
Las intenciones regulares de misa requieren una ofrenda de $ 10.00 / misa.
 
Se pueden ingresar otras intenciones de oración en el "Libro de intenciones" que se encuentra en el estante cerca de la entrada oeste de la Iglesia (junto al estandarte de San José).  Estas intenciones no serán "nombradas" para una Misa en particular, sino que se incluirán silenciosamente en las intenciones generales. Por favor considere este libro para peticiones de oración generales.

Welcome to St. Joseph parish, Fr. Ernesto Rodriguez!  God bless you.
