Saint Joseph Church Mission Statement

We, the people of Saint Joseph Church, by the grace of God, born again in the waters of Baptism, seek to create a

community where our mutual faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior, encourages us to continue growing as disciples. We believe that discipleship is a way of life. We strive to show

that we are committed disciples, eager to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and comfort the bereaved. Inspired by God’s word and nourished by the Eucharist, we pledge ourselves to active discipleship all for

God’s greater glory and honor.

comprometidos, deseosos de dar la bienvenida al extranjero, alimentar al hambriento, abrigar al desprotegido y confortar al afligido. Inspirados en la palabra de Dios y alimentados

DIOS ESTÁ CON NOSOTROS El libro de la Sabiduría nos dice que el Espíritu de Dios está en todas las cosas. ¡Qué maravilloso pensamiento! ¡Qué maravillosa imagen para tenerla frente a nosotros mientras vamos por el camino de la vida! Si el camino se revela al an-dar, es bueno saber que Dios está con nosotros –y alrededor de nosotros– a cada paso. Pero Pablo sabe que esta divina presencia no es tímida. En vez de eso, Dios nos llama, y Pablo ruega que nosotros, junto con los tesalonicenses, nos hagamos dignos de ese lla-mado. ¿Y quién sabe más acerca del llamado de Dios que Zaqueo, el recaudador de impuestos? Todos sabemos que Jesús lo llamó que bajara nada menos que de un árbol, por su bien. Tal vez más correctamente, al reflexionar en el final de la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, podríamos decir que para bien del cielo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Señor, tú amas todo cuanto existe (Sabiduría 11:22 — 12:2). Salmo — Bendeciré al Señor eternamente (Salmo 145 [144]). Segunda lectura — Oramos siempre por ustedes para que el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo se glorifique en ustedes y ustedes en él (2 Tesalonicenses 1:11 — 2:2). Evangelio Zaqueo, cobrador de impuestos, considerado social-mente como pecador, se convierte al Señor(Lucas 19:1-10)

GOD IS WITH US The book of Wisdom tells us that the spirit of God is in all things. What a wonderful thought, and what a wonderful image to keep in front of us as we travel down life’s road. For if the path is revealed in the treading, it’s good to know that God is with us—and all around us—every step of the way. But Paul knows that this divine presence is not timid. In-stead, God calls out to us, and Paul prays that we, along with the Thessalonians, might be made worthy of that call. And who knows more about God’s call than Zacchaeus, the tax collector? Jesus called him out of a tree, for goodness’ sake. Or perhaps more correctly, as we reflect upon the end of to-day’s Gospel reading, for heaven’s sake. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — LORD, you love all things that exist (Wisdom 11:22 — 12:2). Psalm — I will praise your name forever, my king and my God (Psalm 145). Second Reading — May the name of Christ be glorified in you and you in him (2 Thessalonians 1:11 — 2:2). Gospel — Zacchaeus, a tax collector, considered to be a sin-ner, is converted to the Lord (Luke 19:1-10).

PASTOR’S DESK—ESCRITORIO DEL PASTOR

You may notice as you sit in church today and clean and shiny it looks. We want to thank all the parishioners who worked so hard last Saturday and Monday to clean the church. We had about 20 volunteers each day who spent long hours dusting and cleaning the entire church. All the statues were cleaned as were the columns and other areas of the church. On Monday all the pews were washed, years of gum removed and they were stained. The will be polished in a few weeks. What a difference their hard work has made in our church. Thanks to all for their dedication and love for the church and parish. This afternoon there will be a Vesper Service and Presentation at St. Paul Lutheran Church on River Road in Teaneck at 4:00. Several Lutheran and Roman Catholic par-ishes are sponsoring 4 such gatherings over the next year as part of a Family Reunion around the Anniversary of the Refor-mation. That which Pope Francis is celebrating in Sweden this week we are celebrating here in our own area. If you are inter-ested more information is in the bulletin. If anyone is going to be alone this Thanksgiving sev-eral members of the parish will be having a parish Thanksgiv-ing Dinner at the Academy Cafeteria on Thanksgiving Day. Further details will be in the bulletin over the next few weeks. As we enter into the month of November where we remember the Souls of our family members and loved ones please be assured of the prayers of the parish as we remember them at our masses this month. May we always honor and pray for those who have gone before us. Peace, Fr. Tim

Usted puede notar mientras se sienta en la iglesia hoy y limpio y brillante que se ve. Queremos dar las gracias a todos los feligreses que trabajaron tanto el pasado sábado y el lunes para limpiar la iglesia. Tuvimos alrededor de 20 voluntarios cada día que pasaba largas horas quitar el polvo y la limpieza de toda la iglesia. Todas las estatuas se limpiaron al igual que las colum-nas y otras áreas de la iglesia. El lunes todos los bancos se lava-ron, los años de la goma retiraron y se tiñeron. La voluntad de ser pulido en unas pocas semanas. Qué diferencia su trabajo duro se ha hecho en nuestra iglesia. Gracias a todos por su dedicación y amor por la iglesia y parroquia. Esta tarde habrá un servicio de Vesper y Presentación en la Iglesia Luterana San Pablo en el camino del río en Teaneck a las 4:00. Varias parroquias luteranas y católicos están patroci-nando 4 tales reuniones durante el próximo año como parte de una reunión familiar en torno al aniversario de la Reforma. Aque-llo que Francisco está celebrando en Suecia esta semana estamos celebrando aquí en nuestra propia área. Si le interesa obtener más información en el boletín. Si alguien va a estar solo esta acción de gracias a varios miembros de la parroquia va a tener una parroquia Cena de Acción de Gracias en la cafetería de la Academia el día de Acción. Más detalles estarán en el boletín durante las próximas semanas. A medida que entramos en el mes de noviembre, don-de recordamos a las almas de nuestros miembros de la familia y seres queridos puede estar seguro de las oraciones de la parro-quia como los recordamos en nuestras masas de este mes. Que siempre honrar y orar por los que nos han precedido. Paz, P. Tim
