Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

THANK YOU to our Parish Pastoral Council who hosted

last Sunday’s parish picnic. Many parishioners took ad-

vantage of the picture perfect weather to spend a li le

!me with one another. Pastoral Council members set up

tables and chairs, iced the drinks, grilled the hamburgers,

etc. and cleaned up. Fr. Trinity provided delicious jamba-

laya. Everyone pitched in to make easy work of it all.

The children had a great !me playing corn hole and on the

soccer field and just running around. The adults enjoyed

one another’s company. All in all it was a great community

event for the parish.

ceive a full rebate of $65,909 when all the pledges are ful-

filled, without diocesan assessments. So far, we have re-

ceived rebates totaling $25,238 for this year.

If you have not yet made a gi6 or pledge to the DPAA, it is

not too late. Use the envelope sent to your home, find a

Our 2017 DPAA rebate will be combined with the 2016

DPAA rebate of over $50,000 and set aside to build an ele-

ST. JOSEPH PARISH ORGANIZATIONS

We expect God to be near, loving, and to pardon us. We find no contention in this description and have probably used these words to describe God ourselves. So why then do we find ourselves in league with the grumbling workers of the Gospel? Those guys didn’t show up till almost quitting time. “It’s not fair that they receive the same amount of money as the workers who came early,” many people would com-plain. Haven’t we complained in the same way ourselves? The parable, on closer examination, is not so much about people getting more than they deserve as it is about God’s generosity. And God continues to be generous to us. Ours is a loving, forgiv-ing God who is quietly involved in our lives.
