Sunday, July 5th

. They will be serving from 7:00

A.M. until 12:00 noon. The cost is $7.00 for adults

and $4.00 for children ages 6-12. (Under 6 – no

charge.) At St. Joseph Parish Hall. Come and enjoy

“all you can eat” pancakes, sausage, eggs and

Mark your calendars now for the final Pancake

.

It’s not too late to volunteer for the Parish

Festival! There are areas of the Festival that still

need a few extra hands. Sign-up sheets are

available in the back of the church. Please

consider giving a little time to help out. Also, the

advance sale of chicken dinner tickets, will end on

Tuesday, July 7th

. They will be available after Mass

this weekend and in the Parish office until that day.

Anointing of the Sick One of the seven sacraments of the Church is the

Anointing of the Sick. In the past it was called

“Extreme Unction” which is Latin for “The Last

Anointing” and was typically done only for people

who were near death. That is not the case anymore.

The sacrament can now be given to anyone who is

seriously ill, preparing for surgery or near death. If

you, or someone you know, would like to receive

the Anointing of the Sick please contact Fr. David

in the parish office at 920-787-3848 during office

hours. If it is a dire emergency after office hours

please call 920-765-3382. If at all possible, please

do not wait until death is imminent before

calling because Fr. David may not always be

immediately available. We do understand that there

may be times when something traumatic (e.g.

sudden heart attack, car accident, etc.) suddenly

happens. In that case we will try to do our best to

respond. Thank you and God bless you all.

A BIG “Thank You” to Ken Wenninger and Don

Maes for sharing their time and artistic talent to

paint all the trim on the church. It looks great!

Children’s Worship Bulletins

Age appropriate (ages 3-6 and ages 7-12) activity

sheets, generously provided by our CCW ladies, are

available on the shelf under the Youth bulletin

board at the northwest corner of the church. These

sheets incorporate the Sunday readings into simple

learning lessons and fun activities for the kids.

Parishioners and visitors – please feel free to take

them for your children or grandchildren.

Joseph Parish road sign that faces Cambridge Street.

martes, 7 de julio. Estarán disponibles después de la

misa este fin de semana y en la oficina parroquial

Unción de los Enfermos

Uno de los siete sacramentos de la iglesia es la

Unción de los Enfermos. En el pasado se le llamaba

"Extrema Unción", que es Latino para "La última

unción" y fue hecho típicamente solamente para las

personas que estaban cerca de la muerte. No es el

caso. El Sacramento puede administrarse ya a

alguien que está gravemente enfermo, preparación

para la cirugía o cerca de la muerte. Si usted o

alguien que usted conoce, le gustaría recibir la

unción de los enfermos por favor póngase en

contacto con Padre David en la oficina parroquial al

920-787-3848 durante horas de oficina. Si es una

emergencia grave después de horas de oficina por

favor llame a 920-765-3382. Si es posible, por

favor no espere hasta que la muerte es inminente

antes de llamar porque el Padre David pueden no

estar disponible inmediatamente. Entendemos que

puede haber ocasiones cuando sucede algo

traumático (ataque repentino al corazón, accidente

de coche, etc.) de repente. En ese caso intentaremos

hacer nuestro mejor esfuerzo para responder.

Gracias y Dios bendigan a todos.

Bulletin Sponsorship

In an effort to have the bulletin budget totally

self-supporting we are striving to have every

issue of the 2015-2016 year sponsored. This

would pay approximately one half of the

production costs. The other half would be paid

by the Business Ads at the back of the bulletin.

This is how it works… call the Church Office to reserve a weekend sponsorship and it will be listed in the upcoming bulletins as taken (not yet scheduled weekends would be listed as open). We will list the upcoming 8 weekends, BUT… you would be welcome to plan farther ahead and reserve a weekend well in advance of your special date. Call to Reserve Your Special Date Soon!

HERE ARE FIRST 8 ACTUAL SCHEDULED DATES:

July 12, 2015 Taken August 9, 2015 Taken

July 19, 2015 Taken August 16, 2015 Taken

July 26, 2015 OPEN August 23, 2015 Taken

August 2, 2015 Taken August 30, 2015 OPEN --------------------------------------------------------------

Remember you can use

the sponsorship for:

• Memorials • Birthdays • Graduations

• Anniversaries • Baptisms • Confirmations

• Get Well Wishes • Other Special Occasions

Please Consider a Bulletin Sponsorship to Help us Cover the Cost of all

52 Issues of the 2015-2016 fiscal year.

Sponsorship donations are recorded as part of your annual

giving to St. Joseph. Payments of sponsorships must be paid

within 7 days of reserving a date.

(All sponsorship content is subject to Church office approval)

Some Thoughts on Marriage—by Fr. David

Greskowiak

Some people may feel that the decision by the

Supreme Court on June 26th

to legalize same-sex

marriage has redefined the hallowed and sacred

institution of marriage throughout our country. Let

me tell you though that no such change has taken

place in the Catholic Church—our Church, nor will

it. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that

marriage is: “A covenant or partnership of life

between a man and woman, which is ordered to the

well-being of the spouses and to the procreation and

upbringing of children.” This is the long-standing

teaching of the Church, and no civil, judicial or

political person has any authority whatsoever to

challenge, change or interfere with it within the

church; and no practicing Catholic should lightly

disregard it. This is both an issue of religious

liberty and personal morality.

The Church’s teaching on marriage is rooted in

Sacred Scripture and Natural Law. Natural Law is a

philosophy of law that says that binding rules of

moral behavior for both individuals and societies

can be deduced from nature by the simple use of

human reason. Applying this to marriage we can

easily see that by nature only the union of a man

and woman can produce children. Two men or two

women cannot. In the Catholic Church, openness to

children is one of the necessary ingredients for

marriage. The Church also recognizes the ability of

married couples who do not or cannot have children

to generate fertility in other loving ways.

The Catechism states: “Sacred Scripture begins

with the creation of man and woman in the image

and likeness of God and concludes with a vision of

‘the wedding feast of the Lamb.’” It goes on to say:

“God himself is the author of marriage. The

vocation to marriage is written in the very nature of

man and woman as they came from the hand of the

Creator. Marriage is not a purely human institution

despite the many variations it may have undergone

through the centuries in different cultures, social

structures, and spiritual attitudes.” It also observes

that: “Christ (himself) chose to be born and grow

up in the bosom of the holy family of Joseph and

Mary.”

To those individuals, especially those Catholics,

who say that the Church is old-fashioned, out-of-

date, or not-in-keeping with modern attitudes

toward love and marriage, I would say

unapologetically that it is not our Church that is

wrong, but rather that the acceptance of same-sex

marriage as a part of the “new normal” that is

wrong. The Church’s view of marriage has been

around for a long time and is well-grounded,

morally, philosophically and theologically. I would

compare it and other teachings to places like the

Rock of Gibraltar, Cape Horn, or a sturdy

lighthouse on a rugged coast. No matter what the

wind and seas may be doing at any particular time,

those places still stand.

There is much more that could and will be said

about marriage, but it would make this essay too

long. For now though, it is hoped with regard to the

issue of marriage, that all people of faith—young,

middle-aged and senior, will in the words of the

Collect from last Sunday: “…not be wrapped in the

darkness of error but always be seen to stand in the

bright light of truth.”

Summer Prayer

Creator of all, Thank You for summer.

Thank You for the warmth of the sun and the

increased daylight.

Thank You for the beauty I see all around me and

for the opportunity to be outside and enjoy Your

creation. Thank You for the increased time I have to

be with my friends and family and for the more

casual pace of the summer season.

Draw me closer to You this summer. Teach me how

I can pray no matter where I am or what I am doing.

Warm my soul with the awareness of Your presence

and light my path with Your Word and Counsel.

As I enjoy Your creation, create in me a pure heart

and a hunger and a thirst for You.
