Have you ever felt called to do something? Perhaps it was the moment you realized you were called to a life vocation--marriage, priesthood, or consecrated life, for example--or when you recognized a call to a particular career. Maybe it was a time when you felt called to a certain kind of service or ministry, or to care for the needs of a family member or good friend. The truth is, we are all chosen as Christ's people, called to share in Christ's mission of love, to "exist for the praise of his glory," as we hear in the Letter to the Ephesians today. In today's first reading, Amos tells how he was called from the life of the shepherd to that of the prophet; in the Gospel we hear how the disciples were called out to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
CALLED TO MISSIONAs baptized Christians, each of us is called to mission. When Catholics hear the word "mission," most usually think of those who go to foreign countries to serve and share their faith. Some might also think of a parish mission, a time of focused reflection, usually led by a visiting speaker. Remember the often-quoted line from Mission Impossible, "Your mission, should you choose to accept it"? Sometimes we use the word mission to describe our purpose or goal, what we have been charged to do. Thinking of mission in this way makes our call as Christians clearer. Our mission is to live as Christian people, to share our faith, to be people of service, and to show Christ's love to others in the ways that we live our daily lives. The choice to live as people of mission is ours. How do you, or will you, live as a person of mission?
CALLED TOGETHERNotice that the disciples in today's Gospel were sent out two by two. This was not only a practical thing for Jesus to do as he sent the disciples out to preach, teach, and heal. It was also very spiritual, for being sent on mission together with another engenders mutual support. We live and grow in faith in deeper and more lasting ways when we are in community with others. Not only is our relationship with Jesus personal, it is also communal--we are drawn into communion with Christ, through and with the community of faith. Being part of a community offers us the strength and perspective found in relationship with others. We find support, encouragement, and consolation in trying times; we more readily challenge one another to live the gospel call to follow Jesus with our lives. What is your mission? With whom are you called?
Today's Readings: Am 7:12-15; Ps 85:9-10, 11-12, 13-14; Eph 1:3-14 [3-10]; Mk 6:7-13

Dear Parishioners of St. Joseph,
Results of Our 43rd Annual Parish Picnic
We served 1571 meals!
This year, we had another successful picnic that God blessed with perfect weather. On page 10 you will see our financial report from our annual parish picnic.
Thanks to everyone who made this year’s picnic a huge success. Our thanks to the many parishioners who faithfully volunteered to work at our picnic this year. You will also find the placemat ad on pages 8 & 9. We sincerely thank all those sponsors that contributed this year! Through the gifts of your time and talents to our parish, we were blessed to raise $29,321.77 for our annual budget!!
Do You Know Someone WhoWould Like to Become Catholic?
Have you or someone you know felt a nudge to look a little deeper into the Catholic Faith? Are you married to a Catholic and have questions? Have you been away from the church for a while and lost that connection? Are you visiting St. Joseph and interested in finding out more? Or maybe you have been Catholic your whole life and never learned what the faith is truly about.
If you find yourself in any of these questions, consider joining us for RCIA this fall. There is no commitment past listening with an open heart and letting the Holy Spirit take you on a journey. Our parish staff will be happy to direct you if you call the parish office: 756-4250.

Dear Father:
Good day! I am happy to give you our May 2018 report. For this month, we were able to accomplish our objective of having another beneficiary in a new location in the Philippines. Our new beneficiaries are the deaf students in Palawan under the care of Deaf Evangelistic Alliance Foundation, Inc. They are helping around 40 students with hearing impairments. Their ages range from 11 through 25 years old (5th to 11th graders). Together with her family, my good friend and a psychologist, Karen Rendeza, facilitated the drawing activity and endorsed our donation of school supplies during the whole-day Deaf Camp last May 11, 2018.
As for our Bright Start Angels in Cebu. I was able to meet and do occupational therapy consultation as well as distribute books, pencils, milk, and financial assistance. They have grown and it has been humbling knowing their challenges for the past 8 years. I have considered them as family and I always look forward seeing them twice a year.
Thank you Father! We are grateful and inspired to reach out to more persons with disabilities (PWDs).
In St. Joseph,Ging

From the beginning of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, members visit in pairs “two by two”, those who are poor and needy in their homes. It is there, in the family setting, that Vincentians listen, offer humble advice, and render assistance.

CD of the Week:
Has The Sexual Revolution Been Good
for Women?Both secular and religious observers agree that the sexual revolution has caused seismic changes for society across the globe. Mary Eberstadt, a secularly-trained writer who has written for Time magazine, the Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, among other publications, uses her training as a professional researcher to objectively assess whether or not the severing of sex and procreation has delivered on its promise to liberate women and make them happier.portrait that is a never failing source of information, consolation, and inspiration.
Check out the kiosk for more great titles!•Remade for Happiness

•The Faith for Beginners
The Physical Presence of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. “By the words of consecration, they (the bread and wine) become the Body and Blood of Christ. He becomes present whole and entire, it is phys-
ical reality and bodily presence.(cf. Mysterium Fidei #56)
We witness this miracle at every mass. Jesus, with His great love for us, remains with us to adore in tabernacles and chapels in all Catholic Churches throughout
the world. Come visit with Him.
