The Josephites
Most Pure Heart of Mary Church & School is a gospel faith community baptized into the life, death and
resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We invite all people into a personal relationship with Christ
through prayer, worship, stewardship and service to God and neighbor.
Eucharist is the center of our faith and we celebrate our Catholic African American Heritage.
We empower our youth to be gospel witnesses through faith-building programs.

Thank You For Your Stewardship
This year World Mission Sunday will be
celebrated on the weekend of October 23rd.
Who can administer Anointing of the Sick? Only a priest can administer Anointing of the Sick
(i.e. Extreme Unction).
When is it advisable to call the priest to visit the
sick? It is advisable to call the priest to visit the
sick in any serious illness, even though there be no
apparent danger of death, as it is the duty of the
priest to visit the sick and to administer to them the
sacraments they need.
In case of sudden or unexpected death, should a
priest be called? In case of sudden or unexpected
death a priest should be called always, because
absolution and Extreme Unction can be given
conditionally for some time after apparent death.
CCC 1514-1516

A priest was near a group of his parishioners
when he overheard them talking about
various pastors who had served the parish.
His ears perked up when he heard an older
man say, “Whenever someone asks me,
‘Which of our pastors did you like best?’ my
answer is always, ‘The pastor we have at any
given time is my favorite.’”
The pastor who was listening in breathed a quiet sigh
of relief. God sends each pastor to us with his own set
of spiritual gifts, and God works through each pastor’s
gifts to bring us God’s blessings.
So we thank our Pastor, Fr. Ugwu, and ask God to
bless and protect him.
