The psalm and Saturday: 1 Jn 5:14-21; Sal 149:1-6a, 9b; Jn 2:1-11 Galatians remind us of the blessings given through God’s Son. Luke Sunday: Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-2, 7-8, 10-13; Eph 3:2-3a, tells of our ultimate blessing, that Mary, a human being like us, gave 5-6; Mt 2:1-12 birth to a child who is God’s Son. Mary, a young mother, watches all that is happening around the birth of her son. She listens as the shep- herds bring messages from angels, a message she also received from an angel, about her son. Yet Mary remains silent. She keeps all this MASS INTENTIONS news about her son to herself. She reflects on all these experiences.

In late No- vember, Advent began the new liturgical year, and today the secular New Year 2023 begins. In today’s Gospel, everyone who heard it was amazed by the story the shepherds told of the angels’ message regard- ing the child. Mary herself continued to reflect on all these things in her heart. With religious persecutions raging, international and domes- tic conflicts seething, our family and friends suffering various difficul- ties, and COVID not yet entirely in the rear-view mirror, not to mention our own personal problems, how much our world needs Jesus as an- other New Year veiled in mystery begins! As we pray for God’s mercy to enfold our world and embrace each of us in 2023, let our New Year’s resolution be to live for others, as Mary did, a channel of God’s mercy and an instrument of Christ’s peace.

Coming forward takes incredible courage and trust; it is usually very hard for children to open up. If a child discloses abuse to you, it is important to listen fully to what he or she is saying. Limit your ques- tions to short, simple queries: What happened? Who did this? Where? When? Let the child know you want to help and coming forward is the right thing to do. As soon as possible, make a report with a child pro- tection agency in your state.

A gift to the future of our parish will support its spiritual richness and many good works for generations to come. Please remember St. Joseph the Worker in your will or trust. To learn more about planned giving opportunities that can benefit St. Joseph the Worker, please contact the Parish Center or Kimberly Jetton, Planned Giving Manager, Archdiocese of Los Angeles; (213) 637-7504; plannedgiving@la-archdiocese.org. To make a gift: Our correct legal title is: The Roman Cath- olic Archbishop of Los Angeles, A Corporation Sole, for the benefit of St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church PARISH REGISTRATION To promote a spirit of belonging, we encourage all who worship here to become registered parishioners. Having registered makes the process much easier when it is time for infant baptism, school or religious education enrollment, weddings, when asked to be a baptismal or confirmation sponsor, and funerals. Simply attending Mass here does not make you a registered parishioner. Please call or visit the Parish Center to request a regis- tration form or complete the form online at the parish website: www.sjwchurch.com. Also, please contact the Parish Center if you have a new address or phone num- ber. The staff is able to serve you better if the parish records are accurate. REQUESTING USE OF PARISH FACILITIES Parish and School groups that would like to reserve any facility in the parish must contact Angela Escobar in the Parish Center (818) 341-6634, ext. 1003. Only rooms reserved in advance are open. If your group needs to cancel a reservation, please let Angela know so that the room can be made available to another group. Also, if your group needs a particular room arrangement, please bring a copy of the requested floor plan to the Parish Center a week ahead. BULLETIN AND MASS ANNOUNCEMENTS The deadline (strictly observed) for submission of Bulle- tin and Mass announcements is the previous Monday at noon.
