Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament
Our parish will soon be extending the Exposition of the
Blessed Sacrament hours that takes place on Thursdays.
Starting at 8:30AM after morning Mass until 10:00PM.
We are in need of parishioners that have a calling to be
with Jesus and commit to an hour time slot. We would
like to eventually have an adoration chapel that will
have the Blessed Sacrament Exposed 24 hours 7 days a week. Please contact Stephanie to (559)348-3598 for information. Blessings.
Exposición del Santísimo Sacramento
At the end of Luke’s gospel, the disciples were still
trying to understand what happened to Jesus, and
Jesus was still trying to help them figure it out. Following his resurrection, Jesus appeared to the disciples again. They still had a hard time recognizing him
and figuring out if he was a ghost. To help them
know he was really there with them, Jesus ate a piece
of fish and asked the disciples to go out into the
world to tell others the Good News. The early Church
of Luke’s community had the same problem, and
much of Luke’s writing was intended to help these
new Christians see that the resurrection was indeed real. As he did at the Last
Supper Jesus once again broke bread with the disciples and offered them his
body.
Reflection for Families
Changes take place in all of us that prevent people who have not seen us for
some time from recognizing us. When friends and relatives see our children
after a long absence, they almost always comment on the changes in size,
height, hair color, voice, and mannerisms. While Jesus appeared changed to the
disciples and we have never even seen him at all, we still know he is with us.
Each week at Eucharist, Jesus appears to us. Sometimes it is we who have to
change in order to recognize Jesus and receive the joy he brings us in the Eucharist.
Bringing the Gospel Into Your Family
Bring a globe or world map to your family prayer table or area. Try to name as
many places as you can where the Good News has reached the people of the
world. Share your ideas with one another about what this means to us Christians
and Catholics. How are we united throughout the world? What work still lies
ahead for us? How can we help accomplish that work? Conclude your discussion by praying for our church and its missionaries.

Saint Joseph
“Building the Future” Scholarship
The parish of St. Joseph’s would like to offer this scholarship to any young Catholic student who is
seeking out higher education. We do this in the spirit of beloved St Joseph. St Joseph was a husband,
father a carpenter and builder. Our Father in Haven placed Jesus into his and our Lady’s care. Through
this modest scholarship we commend you to the care of St Joseph. As he cared and provided for Jesus,
as he taught him to work and construct, our humble parish attempts to do the same as our sons and
daughters begin to build the future for themselves, our community and Gods Church.
Application forms are available in the parish office.
Deadline is May 29, 2015 by 4 pm. No late entries will be considered.
