Stewardship: A Way of Life
Epiphany of the Lord
“...they fell down and worshipped him. Then they opened their
treasures and
offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh…”
Matthew 2:11
Notice the order of events in the Magi’s visit. First, they
knelt before Jesus and prayed to Him. Then they presented Him with
their gifts. We, too, must take time to pray before we present our
gifts to the Lord. We never know what God may be asking us to
share!
WORD OF LIFE: “Through the Incarnation and birth of Christ, God
reveals to us the dignity of all human life. Human life, as a gift
of God, is sacred and inviolable. The Son of God has united himself
with every human being and desires for us to share eternal life
with him… Each of us is made in the image and likeness of God, and
we reflect his glory in the world.”

MASS INTENTIONS AT ST. JOSEPH: A wonderful way to remember a
deceased family member or friend is to offer a Mass for that
person. As determined by the Diocese there is a $10 stipend fee for
the intention. It is given to the presiding priest. Several weekday
Masses are currently available. If you wish to request a Mass
intention for a loved one, please contact the office at
608-884-3038. SANCTUARY CANDLE AT ST. JOSEPH: Consider honoring a
loved one by having the Sanctuary candle burn in their name. A new
seven-day candle is lit every Sunday. A donation of $10 will cover
the cost of the candle. ST. JOSEPH 2020 CHRISTMAS PROGRAM: The
highly anticipated Christmas Program “2020 News: Reporting Live
From Bethlehem!” is now available!
A note from director Becky Backhaus: “All I can say is WOW - you
all really went above and beyond. I have had so much fun listening
and watching all the videos - this was a lot of fun for me!”
A link to the program has been added to St. Joseph’s website and
Facebook page. The kids and parents put a lot of effort in this
year – we hope you enjoy it!
EUCHARISTIC ADORATION AT ST. JOSEPH: Tuesday, JANUARY 5th 5:30
–
8:30 p.m. and Friday, JANUARY 8th after 8:00
a.m. Mass Spending time with Jesus in Adoration can make
closeness to Him a reality. He wants to hear your joys, your fears,
your worries… anything that is on your mind and in your heart.
Whether it is for a mere five minutes or a full hour, sitting
quietly with our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament will bring you
peace, comfort, and the assurance that no matter where you are on
your spiritual path, you have a loving and constant friend. PRAYER

Dear Fellowship of St. Mary: I was so delighted to see such
generous blessings from your church and congregants to help give
the children of the Rock County incarcerated gifts! I personally
know the hope it brings the inmates when I see them smile over the
opportunity to do something for their families during their season
of separation. And oh the smiles from the children! Thank you for
your giving into Christ’s Kingdom! Blessings to you all!
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year
to you and Yours!
Sincerely, Chaplain Julaine Williams
