Dear Parishioners, Today we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. This is an aspect of our faith that is so very central, but yet impossible to

understand completely. It reminds me of our universe, in that we can know some things about it, but it is so enormous and

incomprehensible that we can’t know everything about it. God is even more incomprehensible, because He is far greater than

the universe is, since He is its creator. But God has revealed Himself to us in small ways, especially through the person of the

Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in order that we can know Him and love Him. Many of the questions we have about God won’t be

answered until we get to Heaven, so for the time being we continue to grow in our prayer life and the life of love; and as we do,

God slowly reveals Himself to us as individuals. We don’t wait until we get to Heaven in order to get to know God, but we begin

now, and He will reveal aspects of Himself that we never knew existed. I was recently asked about the status of our church building becoming a basilica. Before I arrived two years ago, there had been

some investigative work done to assess what it would take in order for our church building to be recognized as a basilica. As

you probably know, there is an application process that includes questions about statistics of our building, its history, why it

should be considered a basilica, numbers of visitors, assurances that certain liturgies are celebrated regularly, the purchasing

of certain items that would reside in the church to denote it as a basilica and some other requirements. Once completed, the

paperwork is sent to Rome for approval. I was told that the process would have a cost of over $35,000.00. At that time, two

years ago, I stated that the paperwork and investigations could be worked on and readied, but we would not apply for the sta-

tus until our debt was paid off. I haven’t forgotten about the possibility, and once the debt is finished, I am happy to consider,

along with our Parish Pastoral Council, our possibilities as a basilica. Reminder that the new Mass schedule, beginning June 2nd, is Saturday, 4:30PM Sunday, 8:30AM, 11:00AM

and 5:ooPM. May the blessing of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, descend upon you and remain with you forever. Fr. Winchel

Deacon Informational Meeting

Do you think that God is calling you to commit to doing more

for your church and community? Are you a man between 35

and 60? If so, and you are Catholic in full communion with the

Church, with no more than one prior marriage, you may want

to learn more about becoming a deacon. Some of the ways

deacons serve are to perform baptisms, marriages and funeral

services; assist at Mass and preach; plan liturgical celebrations

and teach RCIA. Deacons visit the sick, the hospitalized and

dying; they serve in the prison ministry, and in the social

services ministries (e.g., homeless, or those with addiction.)

Some deacons work in parish administration. The Office of the Permanent Diaconate is accepting applica-

tions for the next diaconate formation class which will begin

September 2019. Applications will be accepted until

September 30, 2018. All application materials are available on

the Diocese of Savannah web site, under the link for the

Permanent Diaconate office.

http://diosav.org/permanent-diaconate-Formation An informational meeting for those who may be interested

(and their wives) or have questions will be held at St. Joseph

Catholic Church in Macon on June 4th at 7:00 P.M. in the

social hall. You may also contact Deacon Don Coates (deacondon@st-

joseph.cc) or Deacon Tom Eden ([email protected]) if

you have questions.

Mass Intentions Due to the changes in Sunday Mass times on the weekends, this will affect some of your requested Mass Intentions. We ask for your patience so that we can effectively honor all requests and make all needed changes.

Respect For Life Did you know we, as Catholics, have a moral obligation to pro-

mote the common good by exercising our privilege to vote?

(CCC 2240) So how does one navigate the choices in the voting

booth? According to the Congregation of the Doctrine of the

Faith, "a well-formed Christian conscience does not permit

one to vote for a political program or an individual law that

contradicts the fundamental contents of faith and morals."

For a brief Catechism for Catholic voters, visit

ewtn.com/vote/brief-catechism.asp. As voters, we are one step removed from resolutions that

impact important non-negotiable life issues such as abortion,

euthanasia, and embryonic stem cell research. By casting our

vote, we elect individuals who represent us in making these life

-impacting decisions. This is extremely important at the state

and congressional level, but still applicable in local elections

where future leaders often begin. The Georgia gubernatorial and congressional races offer us

several candidates who either publicly support the protection

of life or have proven their commitment through their individ-

ual voting records in office. For a recap of the candidates'

positions, visit respectlifemacon.wordpress.com. In the words of St. John Paul II, "The common outcry, which is

justly made on behalf of human rights – for example, the right

to health, to home, to work, to family, to culture – is false and

illusory if the right to life, the most basic and fundamental

right and condition for all other personal rights, is not defend-

ed with maximum determination."

New Weekend Mass Times Reminder that the new Mass schedule, beginning June 2nd, is

Saturday, 4:30PM Sunday, 8:30AM, 11:00AM and 5:ooPM.

Saint Joseph’s Catholic School

SJS Students Honor Mary, our Blessed Mother

at May Crowning

On Thursday, May 10, 2018 St. Joseph’s Catholic School honored

Mary, our Blessed Virgin Mother, with a May Crowning and Proces-

sion. The silent procession began in front of St. Joseph’s Catholic

School and continued to St. Joseph’s Church with all 250 students

participating. Every student carried a flower which were collected

and then placed at the statue of Mary. This year Ava Hollis, a sixth

grader, was chosen to place the crown of flowers on Mary. Ava was

accompanied by 4K student, Fifi Adeniyi, who processed down the

aisle with the flowers. Witnessing our students honor the blessed

Mother Mary at the May Crowning is among the most beautiful

traditions at St. Joseph’s Catholic School!

International Exchange Students

Opportunities to host an international exchange student in

your home continue and grow, as we expand our offerings and

involvement with international students. The rewards are

great and the opportunities for you to become involved are

here again as students join our community. Host families offer

a safe and comfortable place for the student to live and study,

and offer transportation to and from school. The family re-

ceives a monthly stipend for their time and commitment, and

to offset any incurred expenses. You do not have to be a

Mount de Sales family to host. If you are interested in being a

host family for one of these students, please contact Ashley

Griffin in the MDS admissions office at (478) 751-3244.

Clean Cupboards / Clean Hearts The Clean Cupboards/Clean Hearts ministry at St Joseph

Church assists the St Vincent de Paul/St Peter Claver Church

Food Pantry by providing foods for distribution. Please place

your donations in the marked boxes in the church on June 2nd

and 3rd. The pantry has had wonderful generous donations

this year but the need is great. The shelves are still looking a

little bare after the last pantry. We would like to continue

providing the same quality and quantity of food for those we

serve and really need your help. Canned soups, boxed pasta,

sauces, canned fruits and cereals are especially needed this

month. There are always requests for cream corn, pasta and

canned peaches. Please be mindful that all items are factory

sealed and are within the “used by” date.

Thank you to the many of you who generously support this

ministry. Your contributions have made a difference in the

lives of so many.

May God bless you and your family. “For it is in giving that we receive” - St. Francis Assisi
