Congratulations to Fr. Jorge who is celebrating his 40th anniversary of ordination into the priesthood, on Penticost Sunday, June 6, 1981.

You can attend the Sunday Masses at St. Joseph Church which are celebrated outside in the church parking lot: English Mass at Noon and Spanish Mass at 6:00 PM. Both are Livestreamed on the Mammoth Catholic Church Facebook Page. Wear a face mask and bring a hat or other protection from the summer sun since there is minimal shade there. For those participating online, they may go to the Church to receive Holy Communion immediately following each Mass for about 30 minutes. There is no daily Mass, but St. Joseph Church remains open for private prayer from Noon to 8:00 PM daily.

The budget of the Diocese of Stockton for this year is $2,300,000 to cover expenses on education and formation of Seminarians, Deacons, Catechists, various Pastoral Ministries including immigrant services, etc. Every Parish of the Stockton Diocese contributes according their ability. St. Joseph Parish needs to raise $23,245. As of September 4, we have reached 81% of our assessment. Remember that every dollar you give is going to be used to build the Kingdom of God.

El poder de la Iglesia está en la oración. Cuando oramos con fe, tengamos por seguro que nuestras plegarias son escuchadas. Cuando lo hacemos en grupo, el Señor nos garantiza que cuando hay dos o más reunidos en oración, El estará presente en medio de nosotros. No te pierdas la oportunidad de presentar tus oraciones al Señor en el grupo de Oración todos los Lunes a las 6 p.m. en el Templo Parroquial.

No podemos amar a quien no conocemos, por eso necesitamos conocer a Dios para poder amarlo. Cada Cristiano debe conocer la Palabra de Dios, es por eso que cada uno debe de tener la Biblia y conocerla a fondo. Si no tienes Biblia, adquiérela en la Oficina Parroquial o solicítala al Padre Jorge. Conoce a fondo la Palabra de Dios participando en el curso de Sagradas Escrituras todos los Martes a las 7 de la noche en la Casa Parroquial.

KEEP IN MIND that as we weep with those who weep, as we suffer with those who suffer, we ask God for the wisdom and guidance necessary we need as a people to advance a culture of life and respect for the human person.  We must not be afraid to review all laws and policies asking two questions:  Can we do better in promoting the common good of all the people?  Can we improve the way we respect, honor and protect all persons in our society?  We must open our minds and hearts and be willing to change our way of thinking so as to be more in accord with the way of God.  Jesus called this change of heart “conversion.” Bishop Stephen Blaire
