For those individuals who are unable to walk the entire length of the center aisle, the gifts may be positioned at the half-way mark. Please identify yourself to one of the Ushers and make the request before Mass begins so that the Priest/Celebrant is aware of the change and can direct the Altar Servers prior to the start of Mass.

From the Pastor’s Desk
Human Solidarity
The principle of solidarity, also articulated in terms of “friendship” or “social charity,” is a direct demand on human and Christian brotherhood or sisterhood. “An error, today abundantly widespread, is disregard for the law of human solidarity and charity, dictated and imposed both by our common origin and by the equality in rational nature of all men, whatever nation they belong to. This law is sealed by the sacrifice of redemption offered by Jesus Christ on the altar of the Cross to his heavenly Father, on behalf of sinful humanity” (Pius XII, Summi Pontificatus, October 20, 1939). Solidarity is manifested in the first place by the distribution of goods and remuneration for work. It also presupposes the effort for a more just social order where tensions are better able to be reduced and conflicts are more readily settled by negotiation. Socio-economic problems can be resolved only with help from all the forms of solidarity: solidarity of the poor among themselves, between rich and poor, of workers among themselves, between employers and employees in a business, solidarity among nations and peoples. International solidarity is a requirement of the moral order; world peace depends in part upon this. The virtue of solidarity goes beyond material goods. In spreading the spiritual goods of the faith, the Church has promoted, and often opened new paths for the development of temporal goods as well. And so throughout the centuries has the Lord’s saying been verified: “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well” (Mt 6:33). In Christ, Rev. Peter John Sheehan Prayer Ministry: Would you like to join the “prayer warriors” of St. Joseph’s parish? Do you know someone who could use a special prayer? Or, would you like someone to pray for you? If so, please call Rita at 568-7058 or Pauline at 568-5644.
