Saint Joseph Church Mission Statement
Declaración de la Misión de la Iglesia de San José
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.
Nosotros, la gente de la Iglesia San José, por la gracia de
Dios, nacidos de nuevo en las aguas del bautismo, buscamos
crear una comunidad donde nuestra fe en común en Jesús
como Señor y Salvador, nos anime a seguir creciendo como
discípulos. Creemos que el discipulado es una manera de
vida. Nos esforzamos por demostrar que somos discípulos
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
por la Eucaristía, nos comprometemos a ser discípulos
activos para mayor gloria y honra de Dios.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER
Last Sunday we heard the familiar passage from John’s Gospel
in which Jesus uses the metaphor of the vine and the branches. In
that passage we were told that if we remained in Christ we would
bear much fruit. Today’s Gospel tells us just what that fruit is: love.
Today’s second reading and Gospel together create a great hymn to
love. The chorus of this hymn is simple—God loves us so much
that Jesus was sent into the world so that we would have life. The
Lord Jesus, who last week told us to remain in him, this week tells
us to remain in his love. In a world marked by division and
terrorism, the Lord’s final words in today’s Gospel are a great
challenge: “This I command you: love one another.” Copyright © J.
S. Paluch Co.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the
Gentiles also (Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48).
Psalm — The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power
(Psalm 98).
Second Reading — God is love (1 John 4:7-10) or 1 John 4:11-16.
Gospel — No one has greater love than this: to lay down one’s life
for one’s friends (John 15:9-17) or
John 17:11b-19.
ÁMENSE UNOS A OTROS
El domingo pasado escuchamos el familiar pasaje del
Evangelio de san Juan en el que Jesús usa el símbolo de la viña y
las ramas. En ese pasaje escuchamos que si permanecemos en
Cristo daremos mucho fruto. El Evangelio de hoy nos dice cuál es
ese fruto: el amor. La segunda lectura de hoy junto con el
Evangelio crean un gran himno de amor. El coro de este himno es
sencillo –Dios nos ama tanto que envió a Jesús al mundo para que
tuviéramos vida. El Señor Jesús que nos dijo la semana pasada que
permaneciéramos en él, esta semana nos dice que permanezcamos
en su amor. En un mundo marcado por las divisiones y el
terrorismo, las últimas palabras del Evangelio de hoy son un gran
reto: “Esto es lo que les mando: que se amen los unos a los otros”.

"One of our dearest traditions in the Catholic Church is to
show our love and devotion to the Blessed Mother Mary with a May Crowning.
In this special adoration, we recognize Mary as Queen of heaven and earth.
Let us pray to Mother Mary for her guidance, her love, and, to intercede to her son, Jesus Christ on our behalf.
On May 10th at the 10AM Mass, St Joseph Church, and the Filipino Apostolate invite all
to witness the crowning of the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
This year, the May Crowning also falls on the same day as Mother's Day.
We are making a special request to all the mother's, grandmother's and maternal figures whom we are honoring on
Mother's Day to receive a special rose to be offered to our Blessed Mother during mass."
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
With June not far off, attention in the parish turns to
the celebration of weddings. Perhaps no other area of parish life is more shaped or challenged by the expectations
of our culture. An old Irish proverb, “Marry in Lent and
you’re soon to repent,” is amplified by another warning:
“Marry in May and rue the day!” Memories of old pagan
parties in May endured, and the Irish felt wedding receptions in May would be a stress on community morals.
Queen Victoria did not approve of May weddings either,
and her influence is still felt on family calendars, as is her
daughter’s introduction of the white wedding gown.
Sometimes we mistake customs and curiosities for tradition. Tradition with a capital “T” has to do with Christ’s
miraculous rescue of the wedding feast at Cana, his affirmation of a man and woman pledging lifelong fidelity at
the heart of a community’s feast. The Church cherished
that memory over time, but it took a millennium for us to
think of marriage as a sacrament. Much of the rest of what
we associate with weddings has to do with culture, customs, and family practices. A wise rabbi once said that
“tradition is not wearing your father’s hat; tradition is having a child.” Don’t let Queen Victoria reign over your
wedding plans!
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Gracias a los grupos, asociaciones y movimientos
tenemos muchos movimientos evangélizadores dentro de
la Iglesia católica. Movimientos como Cursillos de Cristiandad, Talleres de Oración, S.I.N.E., la Renovación Carismática, Espiritualidad de la Cruz, Jornadas de Vida
Cristiana, que dependen de himnos religiosos o de un
canto lema para ir formando una conciencia cristiana en
sus miembros o seguidores. Esta formación se basa en
una relación íntima y emocional entre Jesús y sus seguidores.
Un himno carismático dice así: “Yo tengo un amigo
que me ama”, y otro de ellos dice: “Él es mi amigo Jesús,
él es Dios, él es rey, es amor y verdad”. Estos dos himnos
de autor desconocido, enfatizan lo bello que es tener una
relación íntima con el Señor, mejor dicho, con nuestro
amigo Jesús. Jesús mismo enfatiza este tipo de relación
cuando dice: “No los llamo ya siervos... a ustedes los he
llamado amigos” (Juan 15:15).
Toda amistad se basa en una mutua atracción, simpatía y reciprocidad. Jesús dice que somos sus amigos 1)
cuando hacemos lo que nos manda y 2) porque nos enseña lo que recibe de su Padre. La amistad con Jesús, es
más que una emoción, se basa en el compromiso y la perseverancia. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

The members of the Chief Justice White Council are

Tickets will be sold as in the Rectory Office, and after

box of pasta, or other food supplies for the food pantry.
Knights of Columbus Chief Justice White Council works with
Family Promise of Bergen County
Family Promise assists working families with dependent
children, who are temporarily homeless, due to financial or other
problems. Family Promise works with churches and synagogues in
Bergen County to provide temporary shelter for these working
homeless families as they strive to overcome the crisis of
homelessness.
Local congregations host the families, generally from
about 6:00 PM, overnight, through about 6:30 AM, on a weekly
rotating basis. Volunteers from the Knights, and other organizations, purchase and prepare food for the evening meal, serve dinner, clean up, and provide needed support to children and adults.
2-3 volunteers also serve as “overnight hosts” during the stays.
Saint Anastasia’s and Saint Joseph’s co-host these families, 3 to 4 times a year, in Saint Anastasia’s Little Church. The
next occasion is the week of May 10-17, 2015. The Knights of
Columbus are proud to support this effort, preparing the dinner meal,
doing the clean-up, and staying as overnight hosts.
The Knights are looking for volunteers to support these
working families in their time of temporary need. You don’t need to
be a Knight to help!

TUITION ANGEL FUND
As we know, the downturn of the economy in recent years has had a tremendous impact on all of us. Many families who have
students in Catholic schools feel the ever increasing pressures of meeting their family's needs along with the additional impact of tuition.
We here at Saint Joseph Academy have established a "Tuition Angel Fund". The purpose of the fund is to help families who are
struggling financially yet are committed to providing their child(ren) with a Catholic education. We look to our parishioners to help us keep
this vital resource available to the young families of our parish. Please consider making regular donations to this fund knowing that you are
helping spread the word of God through your generosity by supporting some very needy families and their children in Saint Joseph Academy. Donations may also be made in memory of a loved one or a friend with an acknowledgement being sent to their family. We even
have children that look to share their blessings by asking their families to make donations to the "Tuition Angel" fund instead of receiving
presents at birthdays, holidays, etc.
Also, if your resources are such, please consider "adopting" a student, thus supporting a student(s) by paying all or part
of the monthly tuition. We have many single parents and families who desperately would like their child to attend Saint Joseph Academy
but do not have the resources to pay. Please feel free to add your check to the weekly Vestibule Area-lection basket in an envelope clearly
marked "Tuition Angel" or contact the school office for more information at 201-487-8641. May God bless your generosity. Your donations can truly make a difference in a young child's life.
