St. Joseph Parish The Vigil September 29th, 2019

Rooney Tunes RELICS: In his Letter to Riparius, Saint Jerome (d.420) wrote in defense of relics: We do not worship, we do not adore, for fear that we should bow down to the creature rather than to the Creator, but we venerate the relics of the martyrs in order the better to adore Him whose martyrs they are. The veneration of relics of the saints is found in the early histo-ry of the Church. As far back as the year 156 the faithful in the Church in Smyrna (modern day Turkey) give an account of the death of Saint Polycarp, their bishop, who was burned at the stake. We took up the bones, which are more valuable than precious stones and finer than refined gold, and laid them in a suitable place, where the Lord will permit us to gather ourselves together, as we are able, in gladness and joy, and to celebrate the birthday of his martyrdom. I have no doubt that many folks in our technological age may find the idea of relics ‘strange’. However, if we think about it for a minute or two, we all treasure things that have belonged to some-one we love. These days, the people at the funeral parlour might offer us to have a piece of jewelry made from my granny’s ash-es. It is true that abuses surrounding the ven-eration of relics (and the selling of forgeries) prompted the Protestants to attack the idea of relics. The abuses and the negative reac-tion surrounding relics has led many people to this day to be skeptical about them. In our own time the Church has taken stringent measures to insure the proper preservation and veneration of relics. FATHER SOLANUS OFM..CAP: This last cou-ple of days we have had the privilege of

hosting the holy relics of Blessed Solanus Casey. Barney Casey was born 25th Novem-ber, 1870 on a farm in Oak Grove, Wiscon-sin. After a series of jobs and an engagement to be married, Barney felt a call to priest-hood. After being in the seminary for a short while he was told to leave because of his limited academic abilities. While praying at a shrine of Our Lady, he heard Mary’s voice telling him to go to Detroit. It was there that he was accepted as a friar with the Capu-chins at Mt. Elliot. Barney was given the name ‘Solanus’ after the Spanish friar St. Francis Solanus. The letters after Fr. Solanus’ name OFM Cap stand for ‘Order of Friars Minor Capuchin’. Which simply mean the little brothers who wear a hood. BLESSING ANIMALS: This Friday, 4th Octo-ber, we celebrate the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. On that feast day we usually we ask God’s blessing on our pets. We’ll have that blessing outside the front of church at 4:30 that afternoon. Bring your pets and bring a scoop – just in case. Saint Francis had a great love for all creatures and for God’s creation. Francis wrote the lovely Canticle of the Crea-tures, a hymn to God’s living things. “All praise to you, Oh Lord, for all these brother and sister creatures.” Most of us know that the bond between us and our pets is like no other relationship, because the communica-tion between us and them is at its most basic. Eye-to-eye, my dog or my cat, two creatures of affection and trust. I hope you will plan to join us for the blessing. May God, through Solanus, bless us! Stephen Rooney

A Note from Fr. Jerry Hackenmueller

Dear Parishioners of St. Joseph Church, I am most grateful to carry home with me fon d memories of your beautiful parish and loving community. Most importantly, I carry back with me 50 spon-sorship forms –meaning there are many more children, youth, and elderly who have a future that suddenly has become brighter, unbound from constraints of poverty and hope that God doesn’t disappoint. Be assured that your parish will be greatly blessed, especially you new sponsors as you come to experience the mutual benefit of sponsorship. Those we sponsor are gifts, a form of grace, for they help unbind us from an over attachment to our own needs and resources. As Proverbs 11:26 puts it, “Blessings are on the head of one who distributes love; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” You can still become a sponsor by using the UNBOUND bulletin insert from last weekend or do so online at unbound.org/Room4more to choose a child, youth or elder to sponsor. Thank you on behalf of the newly sponsored and thank for pleasant stay. Sincerely in Christ from Unbound, Fr. Jerry Hackenmueller


The readings from Sacred Scripture, which we hear each week at Mass, can seem strange, impossible to un-derstand, and so very far removed from our everyday life. It might help us once in a while to re-cast them in the language of our modern world and re-interpret them related to ex-amples of our common experience. Let’s take a look at the first reading for this Sunday. The prophet Amos is giving a mes-sage from God to the people of Isra-el. “Woe to the complacent in Zion!” Complacency is certainly a common concern for people in our time. We talk a lot today about motivation, trouble getting started, wanting to have a personal trainer at the gym, devices like fitbit that tell us to walk more often, and energy drinks are all the rage. We might notice when we are complacent about our physical habits, but do we realize when our intellectual, moral, social, and emo-tional capacities have fallen into complacency? Do we know the neighbors on our street, and speak to them, and care about what’s hap-pening in their lives or has the busy flow of life pushed us into compla-cency toward people who live all around us? Why do we find it so hard to get moving on more things like this? “Stretched comfortably on their couches” the prophet Amos contin-ues. He wants to help us identify the problem. Well what do you know, they even had “couch potatoes” back then! Once we find ourselves so relaxed on the couch after work, be-fore lunch, or any Saturday after-noon, we don’t want to move and complacency sets in. The ancients would lounge and eat on their couches probably watching a snake charmer and maybe some jugglers. But, thank goodness we have got

“Netflix and chill” with “binge watch-ing” as a new national pastime. Amos mentions how comfortable the people were on their couches. One thing we certainly don’t like is to be outside of our comfort zone. And, God forbid that anyone at Church should dare to ask us to try some-thing new or do something that might challenge us. God always sends His prophets to comfort and challenge us. Those people who wor-ship greed and hedonism are work-ing overtime in pursuit of their be-liefs, while we (on our couches) de-bate over our clickers what to watch tonight. Amos pointedly tells us, “They eat lambs from the flock…they devise their own (musical) accompani-ment…they drink wine from bowls…and anoint themselves with the best oils.” This is not a grumpy tirade against simple pleasures and self-care. This is a description of life dom-inated by materialism and human people who are drowned in self-interest. We are not so far from this with our exotic wine and perfect mu-sic playlist, our Grub Hub food deliv-eries and hand lotion. But the problem with all this, Amos tells us, is that “they are not made ill by the collapse of Joseph!” Treating ourselves and enjoying life are not wrong nor are they sinful. However, when pleasures and entertainment and luxury and laziness blind us to the real suffering and hardship of the people around us then we have fall-en very far from what followers of Jesus should be about. “The collapse of Joseph” is a phrase meant to stop us in our tracks. Who is the one in our world collapsing from hunger, oppression, unfair employment, in-adequate pay, racial discrimination, healthcare burdens, a cycle of pov-erty, and economic imbalance? It is

Joseph. What we in our time might call the ordinary Joe, or from politics “Joe the plumber,” or even Joe-schmo, the bible refers to simply as Joseph. This is the everyday man, the ordinary person, the-man-on-the-street, the guy next door, the com-mon human being in our society. Yes, rock stars go bankrupt, billion-aires die, politicians lose elections, athletic champions lie, televangelists go to jail, and movie legends get a DUI, but when it is the regular per-son (plain Jane or Joe-schmo) that is in trouble, who collapses on the street in front of us and we are too complacent to notice, too full of our-selves, too busy to care, then the prophet is right, “Woe to you says the Lord God of hosts… your wanton revelry will be done away with.”

So, once again, summing up in our own lingo… The Lord God says, woe to you who are on Netflix or Amazon Prime binge watching your life away, end your complacency, jump up off the couch and out of your comfort zone, life is so much more than your iphone, ipod, ipad, real people are suffering, on the verge of collapse, I’m talking to you… members of St. Joseph Church TAKE A LOOK, Jo-seph is all around you.

St Joseph School

The third grade class is having a wonderful school year. We have welcomed 4 new students to our class. We enjoyed doing the opening mass of the school year. They did an amazing job. The students have started to make cards for the parishioners and guests that attend Tuesday morning Mass. They pass them out before the Mass starts. This helps them to get comfortable meeting other people, and being independent. Some of the third graders are excited to join choir in a few weeks.

St Joseph Sports

Cardinal teams had a busy week and found lots of success on the field and on the court.

SJFC started the season strong against Holy Ghost in their first home game opening up a 3-0 lead 13 minutes in and finished with an 8-0 win. Six players scored for the Cardinals – Braden Bazner, Thomas Cappellino, Easton Demers (2), Dominic Fiorito (2), Thomas Szczechowski, and Isaac This was the first regular season victory for the Cardinals since joining the Monroe CYO.

On the road SJFC outshot MCES 12-6 but couldn’t get to the back of the net in a 3-0 loss last Saturday. The Car-dinals controlled much of the flow of the first half but fell behind at half, 1-0 on a MCES corner kick. MCES scored twice within the first ten minutes of the second half for the win. SJFC hosts a re-match with MCES at home this Wednesday, September 25 at 6 pm and they will travel to St. Joe’s Erie for a game vs. Holy Trinity on Saturday at 11:30 am.

Last weekend the volleyball teams swept through their schedule with a 6-0 record. Playing at home, the Cardi-nal JV#2 and Varsity #2 defeated teams from Gesu. Varsity 2 won their first two sets, but JV2 lost their first set and came back to take the next two to take the match. JV1 won 2-0 over Our Lady of Victory and the Varsity took their match 2-0 over Our Lady of Good Counsel. At Cabrini, the Cardinals were taken to 3 sets in both matches by the Monarchs. The JV split the first two sets and then in the third won a very tight match 16-14. The Varsity match was similar with the Cardinals winning the first, but dropping the second and then coming back to win the third 16-14. Bella Chiles played strong at the net and the team had 12 kills in the first two sets. All four volleyball teams are back at home on Saturday, September 28 starting at 10 am. Come on out and support the Cardinals.

Registration is now open for Junior Cardinal basketball. This is a 6 week program for boys and girls in grades K-3. Sessions are held on Saturday mornings starting October 12. To register go to www.sjcardinals.com Tim Mullahy, Athletic Director 734-507-0521

Prepare the Word

September 30th MEMORIAL OF JEROME, PRIEST,

DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH Consider the source

When you make a photocopy of a photocopy, the original becomes

harder to see, read, and understand. Saint Jerome, the great linguist, ex-

perienced this with the Septuagint, a Greek version of the Hebrew Old

Testament. As the use of Latin spread with the Holy Roman Em-

pire—edging out the Greek used by early Christians—the church began to rely on Latin translations of the

Septuagint. Jerome thought we could do better. He went back to the original Hebrew, mining the texts as

Jesus and other Jews knew them. Not everyone agreed with Jerome.

Saint Augustine preferred the Greek. Arguments ensued; a compromise

evolved. A strength of church teach-ing that benefits us today: Differ-

ences of opinion can birth a better outcome.

Today's readings: Zechariah 8:1-8; Luke 9:46-50 (455).

“An argument arose among the disci-ples.”

October 1st MEMORIAL OF THÉRÈSE OF THE

CHILD JESUS, VIRGIN, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH

Sailing toward the eternal shore How would you describe your life’s

journey? Thérèse of Lisieux—Carmelite nun, saint, and doctor of the church—imagined her life jour-

ney as sailing the sea. Reflecting one evening on the sun setting across the

sea at Trouville, she wrote of how the sun left a “luminous trail.” “It

was to me the image of God’s grace shedding its light across the path the little white-sailed vessel had to trav-el.” She committed herself to follow-ing Jesus “in order to travel peaceful-ly towards the eternal shore." What image would you use? And how do you experience God with you along

the way? Today's readings:

Zechariah 8:20-23; Luke 9:51-56 (456).

“I too will go to seek the Lord.”

October 2nd MEMORIAL OF THE HOLY GUARDI-

AN ANGELS Stand by me

Today the church gives a shout-out to guardian angels. “Beside each be-liever stands an angel as protector

and shepherd leading him [or her] to life,” is how the Catholic catechism puts it. Whether you picture a com-forting winged angel at your shoul-der, or see your guardian angel as

more of a metaphor for God’s loving care, great comfort can be found by

relaxing into this protection. Today's readings:

Nehemiah 2:1-8 (457); Matthew 18:1-5, 10 (650).

"See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that

their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Fa-

ther." October 3rd

MEMORIAL OF THEODORE GUERIN, RELIGIOUS (SAINT THEODORA)

Discipleship with backbone “Sisters, let’s pack our bags,” Mother

Guerin’s community responded when a clueless bishop locked her up and tried to excommunicate her for

challenging his need to control. Guerin inspired loyalty; the first sis-

ters bonded after landing on the raw Indiana frontier, speaking only

French. As if hunger, overturned stagecoaches, financial hardships, and terrible health weren’t trials enough, the bishop believed he owned them. After epic battles,

Guerin finally triumphed. A simple frame shed eventually became Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, the country’s

oldest Catholic liberal arts college for women. Learn how Guerin’s college

empowers students at the web-site: smwc.edu.

Today's readings: Nehemiah 8:1-4a, 5-6, 7b-12; Luke

10:1-12 (458). “The harvest is abundant but the

laborers are few.” October 4th

MEMORIAL OF FRANCIS OF ASSISI, RELIGIOUS

Faithful to the end Saint Francis of Assisi gave us two

kinds of crosses. One is the San Dam-iano Cross, depicting the Crucifixion and its witnesses. It replicates the cross Francis prayed to when God

said, “Rebuild my church.” The other is the simple T-shaped tau cross,

made of wood—reminding us to be flexible and humble—which is the

final letter of the old Hebrew alpha-bet (as omega is in Greek, when we say Christ is “Alpha and Omega”).

Francis loved the tau and used it as his seal. The prophet Ezekiel said

that those faithful to God at the end would be marked with a tau. Re-

member this Beatitude: Those who are last will be first with God.

Today's readings: Baruch 1:15-22; Luke 10:13-16 (459).

“Will you be exalted to heaven?” October 5th

Good medicine Born in Bavaria, Francis Xavier Seelos joined the Redemptorists to serve as a missionary to German immigrants in the United States. By all accounts he flourished in ministry—and did so

with a kind and cheerful attitude. After being stationed in New Orle-

ans, however, he contracted yellow fever caring for the ill and died at the

age of 48 in 1867. Imagine the suffering that could have been avoid-

ed if the yellow fever vaccine had been available then. So it is discon-

certing today to see the anti-vaccine movement grow so strong. The

World Health Organization identifies this movement as one of the top 10 global health threats of 2019, all the

more troubling given the over-whelming scientific consensus about the safety and efficacy of vaccines. God gave us intelligence so that we might use it to alleviate suffering in the world. Get the facts and talk to

those who have been swayed by baseless claims.

Today's readings: Baruch 4:5-12, 27-29; Luke 10:17-24

(460). “Blessed are the eyes that see what

you see.”


For Our Military Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for their selfless acts they perform. Pray for us in our time of need. Amen.

Mass for Commerce

Please join His Excellency Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron and the Catholic business and professional community for a morning of inspiration at the 26th Annual Mass for Commerce on Wednesday, October 23, at 8 a.m. in the Chapel of Sacred Heart Major Seminary, 2701 W. Chicago Blvd., Detroit 48206.This celebration of the Eucharist reminds Catholic men and women that they are not merely business and professional people who happen to be Catholic, but people who recognize they are stewards of God’s gifts and their need for the Holy Spirit to be with them, guiding them every day. A breakfast will follow Mass. At the end of breakfast, a panel of local business leaders will discuss how their Cath-olic faith has impacted their business life. For more information, call 313-596-7430 or visit the web at

It was a great weekend at St Joseph for all of us involved with Charity. The St Vincent de Paul drive had two pods located near our church offices. They were filled from top to bottom, which will fill the stores for a while. Money raised from the sale of these goods will help send kids to camp next summer. Thank you Father Rooney for your help in promoting the drive. Over 650 bags were picked up. If you forgot to bring your clothing donation, there is a collection box on the church property that you can donate at your convenience.

Women’s Guild: The next meeting will be on Thursday, October 3rd at 7pm in

the Activity Center. Fr. Rooney will be the speaker. The $10 annual dues are due and can be paid at this meeting. If you are unable to attend, please place them in the weekend’s collec-tion basket in an envelope ad-dressed Women’s Guild.
