THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT
Fish Fry Desserts
We could use some help with our desserts for the fish fry
dinners. Our students’ parents provide desserts, but we
have been blessed enough in the last couple of years to
have an increase in the patronage of our fish frys.
Therefore, we could use some extra desserts for our
dinners so that all diners may enjoy a sweet ending to their
meal. Desserts may be taken to the school office Fridays
or when you come to the Fish Fry Friday evenings. Thank
you for your consideration and last week’s donations. It
was greatly appreciated.
Third Fish Fry This Friday
Here we are again at the half way point of the Lenten Fish
Frys! This Friday’s fish fry is indeed mid-way through the
Lenten Season so if you want to get a great fish dinner,
please don’t put it off too long as you wouldn’t want to
miss out on this wonderful meal. Bring your family and
friends and have an enjoyable time. Fish Frys are from
5:00 to 7:00 PM in the school hall and remember that
carry out is available.
The Grotto Store has Lenten Items
Don’t forget our own Grotto Store has many items for the
Lenten Season. Perhaps a statue of the Pieta would do for
your home or a specific piece of literature is what you are
looking for. Of course, after Lent is Easter and the Store
has many items for Easter giving also. Stop in to the store
and see what is available for you. The Store will be open
from 5:00 to 6:45 PM during the Fish Fry, or by
appointment for a specific time.
Offertory Envelopes Have Arrived
The boxed offertory envelopes (remember for the entire
year) have arrived and can be picked up at the back of
church. The envelope boxes are arranged by letters of the
alphabet with a label on top for easy finding. Please pick
your envelopes up as soon as you can. Thanks!
Lenten Penance Services
Mark your calendars for this year’s
Lenten Communal Penance services.
Priests of the Deanery will be present
for the Penance Services which will be
held on the following dates at the following parishes:
March 19th - Immaculate Conception, Ravenna
March 23rd - St. Joseph, Mantua
March 26th - St. Patrick, Kent
All services begin at 7:00 PM. Weekly confession here at
St. Joseph is every Saturday from 4:00 to 4:30 PM, or by
appointment with Fr. Tom.
MARCH 8, 2015
Rice Bowls - Hungering for a Bountiful Earth
This third week of lent our journey with Catholic Relief
Services takes us to the coffee highlands of Nicaragua,
where we are called to protect both the goodness of
creation and the livelihoods of struggling families. How
will this week’s fast remind us of the sacredness of God’s
creation and our duty to protect it?
Remember to pick up your Rice Bowls located at the
back of church. Put your spare change into them and
return them Holy Week to the back of the church.
Holy Week and Easter Schedule
We are already half way into the Lenten Season with Palm
Sunday (the beginning of Holy Week) only 3 weeks from
now. Palm Sunday is when our finalized Holy
Week/Easter schedules are ready to be picked up. Located
at the back of church is the signup sheet for all Liturgical
Ministers so you may choose your desired Mass(es) for
that week. Please sign up early, not only to get your
preferred Mass, but also for the schedule to be finished on
time. Thank you for your consideration. Any open
ministries will be assigned.
“Wisdom is with aged men, With long life is
understanding.”
Job 12:12
St. Joseph Parish has a lot of wisdom and understanding!
We have over 120 members over the age of 80, 30 of
whom are over the age of 90 and of course we all know
Mary Denny will be 105 this June.
One of our revered parishioners who celebrated his 90th
birthday not too long ago is Paul Schaefer. You can see
some of Paul’s celebration in this week’s bulletin.
May the Good Lord bless all you folk of wisdom.
