As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. When we commit to serve the Lord, we must be willing to become a partner in the work of the Lord. A partner is a person who invests their time, talent and treasure. If we say we serve God, we must actually do something and not merely talk about it! TWE TY-FIRST SU DAY I ORDI ARY TIME August 23, 2015 As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. - Joshua 24:15b KEEPI G OUR COMMITME TS In the musical Fiddler on the Roof, the husband, Tevye, whose marriage was arranged years and years before, wants to know if his wife really loves him. Was their marriage just an arrangement, a deal? Did his wife, after all these years, ever love him? Does she still? We need to know if our loving commitment holds. We need to be reminded and reaffirmed. In the first reading, Joshua, Moses successor, needed to know if the people would remain faithful to their covenant with the Lord. Joshua was going to lead them to a new life a settled life. Would they be faithful? Jesus, who identified himself as the very life of his disciples life, needed to know: Will you also go away or will you stay. What will we do? The second collection this week is for the Mission Cooperative Appeal for the Diocese of Kumbakonam, India. For your convenience envelopes are available in the pews. ext weekend s second collection is an additional final collection during this fiscal year to supplement our delinquent parish obligations to the Diocese. Our fiscal year ends on August 31st. Please be generous. GREETI G FATHER EUGE E KARU AKARA This weekend we welcome Rev. Eugene Karunakaran from the Diocese of Kumbakonam, India, to celebrate Mass and speak to us about the missionary activities and challenges of that Diocese. Since its inception in 1999, they are trying to materialize their missionary goals including construction of churches, schools, rectories and convents. Every year, an average of 50 young men, like Fr. Eugene, and women go out to other parts of the world to serve God and His people as missionaries. The mission and spiritual prospects of Kumbakonam diocese are bright but 60% of its Catholics are depressingly poor. Therefore, your prayers and generous help are earnestly requested for building the KINGDOM of God in this diocese.

JOSEPH SCHOOL EWS Meet the Principal, Mr. Michael Hackenson - an assembly was held last Tuesday, Aug., 18th with faculty, parents, students and parishioners. In his introductory remarks, he enthusiastically outlined his vision and priorities for SJS and his eagerness to begin a new academic year. He emphasized the importance of cooperation between the parents, administration and teachers. This gathering provided the opportunity for our new principal to get acquainted with parishioners and parents. St. Joseph School - every year in the summer we address several issues inside SJS such as painting corridors, refreshing the classrooms and library. The new academic year begins on Wednesday, September 2nd and the children will be returning to an inviting bright and clean environment. We are grateful to a number of parishioners who have extended a helping a hand, together with members of the Knights of Columbus, to complete the check list of necessary chores. Pope John Paul II once said, to educate without the value system, which is based on objective truth, is to abandon young people. As we tune in to public media and observe the life of young people we are convinced that the Pope was correct.

5 Page 5 KRO IKA PARAFIAL A WIARYGOD OŚĆ. W musical u pt. Skrzypek na dachu małżonek, Tevye, którego małżeństwo zostało zaaranżowane wiele lat wcześniej, pyta żonę, czy ona go naprawdę kocha. Zastanawia się, czy jego małżeństwo to tylko wyrachowana aranżacja, czy też raczej coś więcej. Czy żona go kiedykolwiek kochała? Sami często zastanawiamy się czy jesteśmy kochani. Czy ktoś kto przyrzekł nam miłość dotrzymał swojego słowa? W pierwszym czytaniu Joshua, następca Mojżesza, potrzebował wiedzieć, czy ludzie pozostaną wierni Przymierzu z Bogiem. Chciał ich poprowadzić do lepszego życia, ale wcześniej upewnić się czy pozostaną wierni, jak ich życie się polepszy. Jezus, który jest jest Drogą, Prawdą i Życiem również zastanawia się I pyta każdego z nas: Odejdziesz, czy pozostaniesz mi wierny? DRUGA KOLEKTA dzisiaj będzie przeznaczona na misje w Indiach. Ks. Misjonarz z Diecezji Kumbakonam podzieli się swoim doświadczeniem, trudnościami i sukcesami misji w ubogich dzielnicach Indii. Specjalne koperty na wsparcie tych misji znajduja się w ławkach. Ofiara $20 zapewni wyżywienie dla jednej ubogiej rodziny na 10 dni oraz umożliwi dojazd katechety do odległych dzielnic misij. Prosimy o ofiarność. OSTAT IA KOLEKTA A DIOCESA OBLIGATIO S przed końcem roku fiskalnego będzie w przyszłą niedzielę. Modlę się i wierzę, że każda rodzina parafialna zechce dołożyć swoją cegiełkę do polepszenia sytuacji finansowej parafii. Z góy dziękujemy za ofiarność. DOŻY KI. Serdecznie dziękuję wszystkim, którzy pomagali w przygotowaniu obchodów Dożynek w ubiegły weekend. Każde takie przedsiewzięcie wymaga przygotowania, obsługi oraz posprzątania po dobrej zabawie. Tegoroczne wydarzenie nie byłoby możliwe gdyby nie pomoc państwa Sirard, Marty Pająk, Betty Sabaj, Joli Podskarbie, Agnieszki Pianki, Teresy Parzych, Sylvi Kitka, Marlene Proulx, Diane Gajewski, Theresa Wagner, Ken Yash, Eugeniusza Rudnickiego, Lidki Nolle i Mieczysława Mietelskiego reprezentujących gospodarzy Dożynek. Dziękujemy państwu Madziar z Orawy za przygotowanie i ofiarowanie tradycyjnego chleba. Dziękujemy też wielu parafianom, którzy przygotowali smaczne desery. Tradycyjny wieniec dożynkowy był uroczyście wniesiony w procesji, w której uczestniczyły też dzieci w strojach ludowych. Wieniec ten, symbol wdzięczności Bogu za dobre plony, został poświęcony i umieszczony w sanktuarium. Po Mszy św. wszyscy mile spędzali czas w dobrym towarzystwie. ST. A DREW BOBOLA FESTIVAL.

W ubiegły wtorek parafianie, rodzice ze szkoły, nauczyciele i uczniowie mieli okazję poznania nowego dyrektora Michael Hackensona, który entuzjastycznie podzielił się z obecnymi swoją wizją I planami na kolejny rok szkolny. Nowy dyrektor podkreślił, że do osiągniecia sukcesu konieczna jest współpraca pomiędzy wszystkimi którym na sercu leży dobro szkoły a szczególnie liczy na pomoc parafian I rodziców. Powiedział, że drzwi do jego biura zawsze stoją otwore I z przyjemnością posłucha nowych pomysłów. Odnowa. W każde wakacje staramy się odświeżyć budynek szkolny oraz wykonać wszelkie drobne i większe naprawy. W tym roku malujemy korytarze, niektóre klasy i bibliotekę. Cieszymy się, że jak co roku uczniowie wrócą do czystego I odświeżonego budynku. Dziękujemy parafianom, którzy woluntaryjnie pomagali w tych pracach. Papież Jan Paweł II raz powiedział kształcenie dzieci bez sytemu opartego na wartościach jest równoznaczne z pozostawieniem ich samym sobie. Sądzac po wiadomościach przekazywanych w telewizji wygląda, że papież miał rację. Młodzi ludzie odchodzą od wartości, a nie mogąc znaleźć wzorców do naśladowania często wkraczają na niewłaściwą drogę. CASH CALE DARS. Rozpoczęliśmy rozprowadzanie wrześniowych kalendarzy. Za jedyne $10 otrzymuje się 30 okazji do wygrania dziennych nagród. Po każdym losowaniu, billet zwycięzcy jest wracany z powrotem do puli na kolejną szansę. Jest to przyjemy I niedrogi sposób wsparcia parafii, a przy okazji szansa wygrania aż do $500 dolarów. OWE A DO ŚW. JÓZEFA. W środę o 7 pm zapraszamy wszystkich na Nowennę do św. Józefa. Statuę wniosą do kościoła lektorzy. Prosimy o czytelne wypełnianie swoich intencji, które wraz z ofiarą można składać w specjalnej skrzynce.
