On December 8, 2020, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, Our Holy Father, Pope
Francis, proclaimed a YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH — from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021. This year
marks the 150th anniversary since Blessed Pope Pius IX declared St. Joseph Patron of the Universal Church!
This year should be particularly important to all of us because as Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, says in his
book Consecration to St. Joseph, “NOW IS THE TIME OF ST. JOSEPH!” We need St Joseph. In some
unprecedented ways, the Church finds herself in crisis and confusion, we need the Guardian of the Redeemer to
protect and guide the Mystical Body of Christ (the Church) in this difficult time. The very notion of what it
means to be “a man” is under attack. We need St. Joseph to stand as a model of the character men should strive
to form within themselves. The place of the husband in the family and “fatherhood” itself is in crisis. We need
St. Joseph to teach us what it means to be a loving husband and a caring Dad who has time for his wife and
family. In truth, NOW IS THE TIME OF ST. JOSEPH!
However, while we naturally think of St. Joseph to model what it is to be a faithful and loving
husband and father and provider and protector of the family — he remains a model for everyone. In his
beautiful Apostolic Exhortation, Guardian of the Redeemer, St. Pope John Paul II wrote: Besides trusting in Joseph’s
sure protection, the Church also trusts in his noble examples, which transcends all individual states of life and serves as a
model for the entire Christian Community, whatever the condition and duties of its members may be. In other words, not
just men, but all the faithful: men, women, young people and children can find in St. Joseph a real model and
example to follow.
Some of St. Joseph’s titles tell us he is: the Patron for a Happy death, the Model of Workmen, the
Guardian of Virgins. St. Joseph also is the TERROR OF DEMONS! In a time when the devil is wrecking
havoc simply by convincing so many to no longer believe in him, his power and his evil, St. Joseph stands as our
special protector against the devil and the powers of evil! NOW IS THE TIME OF ST. JOSEPH.
During the year, here in the parish, we will run some programs and do some things to help us come to
know and love St. Joseph more and to put him in the fore of our spiritual life and growth. For today, I want to
thank our Father Joe for making available to us Pope Francis’ Prayer for the Year of St. Joseph, copies of which can
be found on the kneeler at the altar of St. Joseph. Pray that prayer, especially on Wednesdays (the day
dedicated to St. Joseph) and the 19th of each month throughout the year. Visit his altar and ask for his interces-
sion. Spread devotion to him. Each Wednesday, after the Prayers to St. Michael, we will say the Prayer to St.
Joseph at the end of every Mass. We ask St. Joseph to protect our parish; to support young couples as they pre-
pare for marriage; to be a continual source of strength to all the men in our parish and to be for all of us a
“terror of demons” that we must fight every day.
St. Joseph, pray for us!
God bless you!

Celebrating Sunday Throughout the Week 2nd
Sunday in Ordinary Time Gospel: John 1:35-42
In today’s Gospel, Jesus asks Andrew and the other
disciple, “What are you looking for?” When you gather to pray as
a family throughout the coming week, begin your prayer time
by inviting family members to quiet themselves, close their eyes, and
think about Jesus’ question, “What are you looking for?” Spend a few -
moments in quiet reflection and prayer. At the end of the week, ————————————————–————
discuss how you carried through on your action plan (s) to share the
Good News with those most in need of hearing it. Celebrate the ways
you have taught others about Jesus by your words and deeds, and also
share ways others have shared his Good News with you.
QUESTIONS: Adults: What qualities do you have that would cause
others to recognize you as a disciple of Jesus? Children: What must a -
person do to be a follower of Jesus?
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Day — January 18
Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Christian minister and activist
who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights
movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. “Injustice anywhere
is a threat to justice everywhere. Darkness cannot drive out dark- ness. Only
light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that.”
Dr. King was known for his peaceful protests against
injustice. He galvanized the people of America in the struggle for civil
rights. Action: This week, take time to look up some of Dr Kings’
quotes to learn more about him.
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’ -
– Dr Martin Luther King Jr. -------------------------------------

Celebrando el domingo durante toda la semana
Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Evangelio: Juan 1, 35-42 -
En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús le pregunta a Andrés y al otro discípulo: "¿Qué
buscan?" Cuando se reúnan para orar en familia durante la semana,
comience su tiempo de oración invitando a los miembros de la familia a que se
callen, cierren los ojos y piensen en la pregunta de Jesús: "¿Qué estás
buscando?" Dedique unos momentos a una tranquila reflexión y oración. Al
final de la semana, analice cómo llevó a cabo su (s) plan (s) de acción para -
compartir las Buenas Nuevas con quienes más necesitan escucharlas. Celebre ---------------------------
las formas en que ha enseñado a otros acerca de Jesús con sus palabras y hechos,
y también comparta las formas en que otros han compartido sus Buenas Nuevas
con usted. PREGUNTAS: Adultos: ¿Qué cualidades tienes que
harían que otros te reconozcan como un discípulo de Jesús? Niños: ¿Qué debe
hacer una persona para ser un seguidor de Jesús? -
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Día - 18 de enero
Martin Luther King Jr. fue un ministro cristiano y activista estadounidense que
se convirtió en el portavoz y líder más visible del movimiento de derechos
civiles desde 1955 hasta su asesinato en 1968. “La injusticia en cualquier lugar
es una amenaza para la justicia en todas partes. La oscuridad no puede
expulsar a la oscuridad. Solo la luz puede hacer eso. El odio no puede expulsar
al odio. Solo el amor puede hacer eso ". El Dr. King era conocido por sus
protestas pacíficas contra la injusticia. Impulsó al pueblo estadounidense en la –
lucha por los derechos civiles.
-----------------------------
Acción: esta semana, tómese el tiempo para buscar algunas de las
citas del r. King para aprender más sobre él. “La pregunta más persis-
tente y urgente de la vida es, '¿Qué estás haciendo por los demás?' - Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. -
