It is customary and fitting to remember loved ones who have died with memorial donations
to a favorite cause or charity. In this way, the memory of the deceased is honored and a good work, either civic or religious, is perpetuated. There are numerous charities that have been traditionally designated for such purpose. At times, we are also offered donations to these funds to honor particular individuals at special times of the year or to commemorate an event in their lives.
Memorial donations to the Remembrance Fund are restricted to the betterment and furtherance of our worship and our place of worship - the Church, as the needs present itself, or as determined by the Pastor.
We are grateful to the following who have donated to St. Joseph Remembrance Fund:
In Remembrance of William Lindsay
Helen Viner Valerie Stelma James & Frances Gothers Warren & Ruth Johnson
Lisa Marquardt’s Friends at Great Lakes
We are grateful to the following who have donated to St. Gabriel Remembrance Fund:
In Remembrance of Anthony Toce and Mary Drost Joe Cymerys
In Remembrance of Dorothy Spataro and Vinnie D’Angelo
Marge & John Conforto
In Remembrance of Anna Rogovich Judith & Timothy Kowal
In Remembrance of Victoria Noga Steven & Helen Fetko Pat & Stanley Zimowski Steve Fetko

In Loving Memory of Jim & Vinny Melluzzo

The Liturgy Corner
In a world where much turbulence and
suffering abounds throughout the earth,
we must stop and take time to notice the
beauty of all that God brings to us and the
wonderful and giving people who surround us. Prayer for the Protection of Children and Young People Heavenly Father,
You have entrusted us with the protection of our children, young
people, and vulnerable adults. May the Holy Spirit guide our
steps as we help shepherd their paths.
May our Church leaders, teachers, parents, and those entrusted
with care, responsibility, and/or supervision of vulnerable
adults, be filled with a wise and discerning spirit, fostering an
environment that is embracing, instructive and safe.
Widen our hearts and perspectives to listen gently and with
compassion to the experiences of this suffering, victims and
potential victims of abuse, being ever mindful of the fragility and
honor in safeguarding their trust.
May the Holy Spirit embolden us to speak and act judiciously,
wielding the sword of truth, and may Your courage be ours as
we stand in the gap on behalf of the innocent.
May we continue to grow in our own paths to holiness, ever
listening to the rhythms of Your voice, ever obedient in following
Your will, ever humble in our responsibility. Amen.
Pro-Life Thought of the Week We are the people of life because God,
in His unconditional love, has given us the Gospel of life
and by this same Gospel we have been transformed and saved.
The Gospel of Life, # 79 Pope John Paul II
