From the Pastor’s Desk…
I n his message for Lent and Easter 2018, Pope Francis points out that “During the Easter Vigil, we celebrate once more the moving rite of the lighting of the Easter candle. Drawn from the ‘new fire,’ this light will slowly overcome
the darkness and illuminate the liturgical assembly. “May the light of Christ rising in glory dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds,” and enable all of us to relive the experience of the disciples on the way to Emmaus. By listening to God’s Word and drawing nourishment from the Table of the Eucharist, may our hearts be ever more ardent in faith, hope and love.” Let's do as Pope Francis suggests: Let’s allow the new fire of the fresh proclamation of the resurrection to dispel whatever is dark in us and in our community and in our country and in our world. I pray the new fire will enlighten our awareness. May we come to see ourselves as new people, baptized people, washed and cleansed, a holy people, a people to whom the resurrected Jesus says, “Peace.” Let’s bathe in that wonder. Secondly, may this Easter allow us to revivify the experience in our lives of the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus. In that post-resurrection event, Jesus is not recognized by two of His disciples who are walking away. He walks beside them, He listens to them and He teaches them. Finally, when He breaks the bread, they recognize Him. They change their minds, take a 180 degree turn, and go back to the community in Jerusalem and proclaim Jesus alive. Like them, let’s no longer walk away from the power of the resurrection, saying to ourselves and others: We had hoped. No. Let’s renew our willingness to allow Jesus to walk beside us, narrating our lives to Him, allowing Him to open the scriptures to shape our response to our lives. Let’s allow Him to teach us (not the values of our culture) and let’s be loyal to the regular celebration of the Holy Eucharist. These steps will give our lives purpose and mean that we can remain true disciples. In the months ahead, I hope that all of us at St. Joseph will have resurrection joy in our hearts as we begin the Year of Jubilee to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of our parish. The center of that celebration is the joy and hope of the resurrection of Jesus. It is that we celebrate in the sacraments, it is at the center of our community interactions, and it is what makes us a community of missionary disciples. The purpose of the events of the Jubilee, starting at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 15th, is to bring joy to our community and to the broader community. I hope it will be a great success. Happy Easter, Alleluia! He is truly Risen! Rev. Neville O'Donohue, SM Pastor

What Kind of Woman Would Need to Receive Care from a Stephen Minister?
A women like Martha who was burdened by the demands of daily life and needed someone to help her regain sight of what was most important. A women like Mary Magdalene who received healing from inner turmoil and needed someone to walk with her as she built a new life. A women like you.
If you would like to know more about how a Stephen Minister could care for you, please call Cecilia “Cece” Bamford Stephen Leader at Saint Joseph Catholic Community 410-920-9100 or 410-795-8403.

We DREAM…
LAUNCHING May 15, 2018 Be a Part of the Future of Religious Education for Children, Youth, and Families!
Saint Joseph's is beginning to plan new initiatives in religious education for children, youth, and families. The needs of today's families are different than they were 20, 10, or even 5 years ago. To meet our mission of forming disciples, we must look at new program models and formats. The faith hasn't changed, but the needs have. As St. John Paul II said, "Look to the future with commitment to a New Evangelization, one that is new in its ardor, new in its methods, and new in its expression."
Plan now to participate in the following activities:
An online survey--open to all parishioners, but especially for parents of children and youth--will be open from April 8-24. Information and links will be available in the bulletin and on the parish website.
In-person gatherings for parents of children in Pre-K through Grade 5 (whether you currently participate in the religious education program or not) will be held DURING the regular religious education times on April 22, 23, and 24.
In-person gatherings for parents of children in Grades 6-8 (whether you currently participate in the religious education program or not) will be held DURING the regular religious education times on April 29, 30, and May 1.
Additional information will be available throughout the coming weeks in the bulletin and on the website. Join us!
Thursday Evening Scripture Forum Take a Mediterranean Cruise! Join us as we work our way through the Book of Acts and accompany St. Paul on his journey that will eventually bring him to Rome. Tony Room,
7-9PM April 12-May 17.
Following Christ (For those who took Discovering Christ)
Tuesday Evenings 6:30 – 8:30 PM FFC room 103. April 18-22 Retreat at Shrine of St.

Do you have a teen who is ready to take the next step in his/her faith journey? Our Confirmation Pro-gram at St. Joseph is a great place for Catholic youth to learn more about their faith, grow in holiness, build community with their peers, and share the love of Christ through service to others. We offer a two-year program beginning in 9th grade in preparation for receiving the Sacrament at the end of the 10th-grade year. Visit our Confirmation Page on the par-ish website for more information, or stop in at one of our upcoming events:

Parish Pastoral Council
Nomination & Discernment The parish is going to hold nominations for additional members on the Parish Pastoral Council. This year we will again be soliciting nominations, to be followed by a discernment process.
The council is a visioning and planning body of parishioners who foster full participation of the entire parish in the life and mission of the church as lived out in Saint Joseph Catholic Community. In consultation with the Pastor, the Parish Pastoral Council actively listens and identifies the needs and concerns of the people and reviews the parish pastoral plan to respond to these needs. The council also seeks to implement the plan by seeking the involvement of parishioners.
We are in need of parishioners with these qualities:
A desire for spiritual growth in themselves and our parish;
An enthusiasm about the future direction of our parish;
A willingness to inspire and empower others to participate;
Flexibility and openness with people and ideas;
Willingness to use the talents God has provided in the service of the parish.
Nominations will take place on the weekend of APRIL 22 & 23 at all Masses. Parishioners may nominate themselves or others. Those who are interested are invited to attend the Council meeting on Thursday, April 5th at 7:00pm in the Tonry Conference Room of the Parish Center, before the formal discernment process starts. Those who are identified as nominees will be invited to attend the information night in early May. At this session, all nominees will learn about the role of the Parish Pastoral Council. After this evening, all will be asked to reflect and pray on this information and discern whether or not they feel called to this ministry of service and leadership. The following week, a formal discernment night will be held where we will seek the help of the Holy Spirit to decide who should join the Parish Pastoral Council. The new Parish Pastoral Council members will be blessed by the community at a Sunday Mass. Please pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. To make your nomination online using Sign Up Genius go to link below. Nomination deadline April 23, 2017 http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090B45AFAB2DA02-parish
