CHURCH SACRAMENTS
P A G E 4
Thank You from YLIOur warmest thanks are extended to all parishioners who supported YLI charitable programs in 2018. Your contributions to our school supplies drive, rummage sale, and holiday boutique enabled us to help so many in need. We look forward to your continued support of YLI in the New Year!
Happy New Year and Thanks to our St. Joseph’s FamilyFather Wayne and the entire staff want to thank our entire Parish for all the support and help you have contributed to St. Joseph’s during 2018. Our Parish family continues to be strong because of all the loving participation in our Masses and Ministry events. We pray that everyone will have a safe and joyful New Years, and make 2019 an even more passionate and creative year for the entire St. Joseph’s family.
Poverty Awareness Month
January is poverty awareness month. On the back of thebulletinwehaveacalendarofthefirsttwoweeksofJanuarywithdailyinsightstohelpreflectaboutpoverty,and how we can help others. We will publish the following weeks in a subsequent bulletin issue.
Poverty USA has stated ““Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God” (St. John Damascene, Catechism of the Catholic Church 2559). Prayer and meditation can open our eyes to our responsibilities and our hearts to solutions.” Millions of people throughout the United States and the world are struggling. Please help us pray for their well-being.
In addition the Catholic Campaign for Human Development has relected “Come, Holy Spirit, and open our hearts, minds, and souls to your presence. Grace us with the strength to follow the examples of Jesus. Like Jesus, may the Spirit provide us with a voice to cry out for justice for the poor. Remind us that what we do to the least of those among us, we do to you.”
ThefollowingPrayercanhelpusreflect.
God of Justice, open our eyesto see you in the face of those in poverty.
Open our ears to hear youin the cries of those exploited.
Open our mouths to defend youin the public squares as well as in private deeds.Remind us that what we do to the least ones, we
do to you.
Amen
– Being Neighbor: The Catechism and SocialJustice, USCCB, April 1998
New Year: Go Forth With LIVING the Power of the Epiphany
Epiphany! The Magi left their bubble, their comfort zone, to follow a new star. They “went forth,” together, pursuing a beckoning light that promised a new reality, new priorities, a new relationship –one worthy of a challenging journey and the offering of their greatest treasures.
The New Year begins with the Christmas season and an incrementally increasing amount of daylight in both our hemisphere and our lives. We may stop during this season to consider the gift of God-With-Us, born into our comfortable but sometimes stagnant understanding of our place in the world, into our continuing search for meaning and relationship. Unwrapping this gift of Emmanuel is a risky, but rewarding, process.
What might be some of the beckoning lights promising new realities and relationships that can change the world–and our own lives? How can we seek more clearly the presence of God in those near and far? We start with those around us and go beyond to encounter the impatient people in line at the grocery store, the harried bus driver, the bewildered parent, the exhausted server at the restaurant, the person

on the sidewalk hidden under a blanket, the commuter whose wheelchair is stuck on the curb, the family speaking in another language than ours. Stars for such encounters may also be found in the January calendar.
1. Check out Pope Francis’s message for the World Day of Peace on January 1: http://w2.vatican.va/content/ francesco/en/messages/ peace.index.html
2. National Migration Week is from Jan. 6-12, 2019 (www.justiceforimmigrants.org). Where did your ancestors come from?Whatdidtheyfindintheirnewcountry?Howcanweseek and encounter those on the move today who are part of our “one family under God”?
3. January 9th is the World Day of Migrants and Refugees. We are a Church without borders, valuing the life, gifts and thriving of every “Let us imitate the Magi: looking upwards, setting out, and freely offering our gifts.” – Pope Francis, Homily for the Solemnity of the Epiphany, 2018 1 person. How do we seek and encounter those who have left so much behind and who look for a new start and new opportunities to offer their culture and skills?
4. January 21, 2019 is the national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. How do we seek and encounter the lessonsandsacrificesofthecivilrightsmovement,andnon-violent resistance, in the issues of racism and injustice that continue to fracture our one family under God?
5. January 21-22 is the National Prayer Vigil for Life. How do we seek and encounter those who are most vulnerable fromthebeginningoflifeuntilitsfinalstages?Howdoweunderstand each life as precious?
6. January is Poverty Awareness Month (www. povertyusa.org). How do we seek and encounter people living in poverty, including the 2.8 million impoverished people who work full-time, year-round? The star that called the Magi to “Go Forth” was visible to all, but not all responded to the beacon in the gloom of night. May we be Magi, seeking and encountering our vulnerable brothers and sisters, experiencing a new reality and relationships through the gift God-With-Us every day.
National Migration Week 2019 Prayer
Loving Father,Protect, we pray, all those forced from their homes
by violence and persecution, guide them to places of shelter and safety,
and grant that people migrate always by choiceand not necessity.
Watch over children who migrate alone,protect them from the risks they face all by themselves,
help them reach their destination safely,and reunite them with those from whom they have been
separated.
Guide all migrants who seek a better life,to new opportunities,
and grant them a new beginning.
We beseech you to give each of us the strengthand generosity
to welcome the stranger and to open ourhomes to the newcomer,
and in doing so to comfort those who are suffering.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.

Raymond of PenyafortFourth CenturyFeast Day—January 7
Born in Catalonia, Spain, he was already an accomplished academic and preacher when he joined the Dominicans in 1222. Called to Rome as papal confessor in 1230, he collected conciliar and papal degrees in a standard work used by canon lawyers for nearly 700 years. Returning to Spain in 1236, he devoted himself to converting Muslims and Jews, establishing schools to teach Arabic and Hebrew, and launching the Inquisition in Catalonia. He was Dominican master general for two years.
Building Communities of Welcome
National Migration Week 2019
For nearly a half century, the Catholic Church in the United States has celebrated National Migration Week, which is an opportunityfortheChurchtoreflectonthecircumstancesconfronting migrants, including immigrants, refugees, children,andvictimsandsurvivorsofhumantrafficking.The theme for National Migration Week 2019 – Building Communities of Welcome – emphasizes our responsibility as Catholics to engage and welcome newcomers on their arrival, and help to ease their transition into a new life here in the United States. Welcoming communities do not emerge by chance, but are established through the hard work and conviction of people on the ground through direct service, shared experience and faith, advocacy, and institution building.
During this National Migration Week, let us all take the opportunity to engage migrants as community members, neighbors, and friends. Wecanfindopportunitiestoengage migrant communities in our local community through our local Catholic Charities and other community organizations. Opportunities to encounter and accompany can include: becoming a foster parents to migrant children who have been separated from family members, participating in a local Parishes Organized to Welcome Refugees (POWR) program; launching a new initiative
