Pastor’s Column
Dear Parish Families,
After several weeks of trips and wonderful events here at St. Joe, it is now time to move forward with school. I am excited at the prospect of our kids being together again. They need it.
As you know, we’ve done lots of trips and events for the youth in July. All has gone well and everyone has stayed healthy, happy, and holy! Praise the Lord.
We will soon be resuming many different meetings in-person. St. Vincent has been doing the same. We proceed prudently, of course, in all things.
To all of our folks who are still unable to join us for Mass: WE MISS YOU AND WE LOVE YOU. I can-not wait until we can all be together again. It just isn’t the same without the whole parish family here.
Have a great week!
Blessings and prayers, Fr. Mike
St. Joseph News Rest in Peace
Parishioner Florence McCall, age 101, passed away on Monday, June 13th. Fr. Mike officiated at her funeral on Friday, June 17th.
She was buried at St. Joe Cemetery. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Brute Days
Fr. Mike teaches the teenage boys at Brute Days about Fr. Vincent Bacquelin, the first pastor at St. Vincent. Fifty-five boys attended. More photos coming soon.
REP Registration
It is time to register your son or daughter for the Religious Education Program for the 2020-2021 school year. REP will start in September 2020.
If your child is unable to attend St. Joseph School, then he or she should definitely be enrolled in REP!
REP is for all children who do not attend St. Joseph School, preschool through eighth grade.
Freshmen in high school attend Confirmation prep at a different time.
The fee to cover textbooks and other expenses is $50 for each child, regardless of program (e.g., Con-firmation, Sunday Religious Ed, RCIC, etc.) up to a maximum of $150 per family.
Please remember that it is our DUTY as Christian parents, godparents, and grandparents, to make sure that our children are being brought up in the Catholic faith! It is a sad thing to see the faith “die out” in one’s family.
Sign up now at: http://stjoeshelby.org/rep
For more information, go to: http://stjoeshelby.org/rep
Please contact Fr. Mike or Billy should you have any questions. RCIA to Resume in September
RCIA will resume on September 21st. We are cur-rently accepting registrations. Now is the time to plant the seed with some loved ones!! Applications are available at the St. Joe office.
Funny Church Sign
Don’t like organized religion? That’s OK. We’re not that organized!
Aftercare Volunteers Needed
St. Joe School Aftercare runs from 3:00pm until 5:00pm every day. We are in need of some volun-teers to help watch the kids. If you are interested, contact Principal Beth Borland at [email protected].

Mark Your Calendars
St. Joe Jog—July 27
As you know, this event normally takes place festival weekend, but sadly we weren't able to do that this year on that weekend due to COVID-19. Instead, the St. Joe Jog is a 5K run/walk that will take place on Monday, July 27, 2020 at 6:00pm at St. Joe, right before the Pool Day celebration, also at St. Joe. After the run, we will have hot dogs and other treats!! There is also the option to take part virtually, which would get you a shirt but allow you to run at a place and time of your choosing.
Please signup online now!! You can sign all family members up at once using the link here. There's a link on this form to pay online too using our secure donation portal. Sign up here: https://www.stjoeshelby.org/summer-signups/
Please sign up sooner rather than later so we know how much scholarship money we can promise to fami-lies who are in need.
Seminarian Tyler Farewell—Aug. 2
It is hard to believe that Sem. Tyler Huber’s time with us is drawing to a close. He began in early May with us and must depart on Sunday, August 2nd. I know he will be back to visit! Let’s have a farewell for Tyler on Sunday, August 2nd, after the Mass in Spanish. All are welcome. We’ll try and have it outside. Tyler will be a magnificent priest.
Clarity Golf Challenge —July 27
St. Joseph Church is taking part in the 22nd Annual Clarity Golf Challenge. This event supports Clarity Pregnancy Services here in Shelbyville. The event takes place on Monday, July 27th at Otter Creek Golf Course in Columbus. Seminarians Tyler Huber and JJ Huber (they are not brothers) will play 18 holes of golf with Ethan Apsley and Nolan Chaney. Clarity Crises Pregnancy Center in Shelbyville, is unable to take gently used items at this time due to Covid-19. They do have a desperate need for: Diapers-sizes N, 0, 2, 0-3 months; sleepers and onesie.
112th Anniversary of our Church—Aug. 2
St. Joseph Catholic Parish was created in 1868. The first church building is now the rectory.
The current church was dedicated on Aug. 2, 1908. That means the church is 112 years old!
Let’s celebrate after the Mass in Spanish! We will have Tyler’s party (mentioned above) at the same time!
K of C Installation—July 26
The annual Knights of Columbus installation will take place on July 26th at 6:00pm.

Next Parish Council Meeting—July 28
Our next Parish Council meeting will take place on July 28th. It will be our first in-person meeting since COVID. Please contact Gaye McKenney at 317-364-7859 or [email protected] if you have anything you’d like the council to discuss.

Mark Your Calendars Joint Parish Picnic—Aug. 19
The St Vincent and St Joseph Joint Parish Picnic Committee is planning to proceed with the Annual Joint Parish Picnic on Wednesday, August 19th at 6:00pm at the Blue River Park Shelter, with some modifications to help protect from COVID-19.
Instead of having a buffet style gathering, we are proposing an old fashion picnic basket event. Bring your family and food prepared for your family only. We will have tables set up in the Blue River Shelter, appropriately distanced and there is plenty of space on the grassy area to have a blanket, if you choose.
It is recommended to wear a mask at the event when socializing with others. Parishioners will be encour-aged not to share food with non-household family members and to be diligent about using hand sanitiz-er before and after eating. Drinks will be provided. Contact: Jennifer at [email protected] or Della at [email protected].
Confirmation Retreat—Aug. 15
Our retreat is still going to happen!!!!! We are so excited to let you all know that it has been resched-uled for Saturday, August 15th here at St. Joes. We will have it from 9:00am-8:00pm. The day will be full of talks, activities, and prayer!! Registration for the retreat is on St. Joseph's website. We will be taking everyone’s temperature as well as taking all the prop-er precautions to ensure a fun and safe retreat that day! Hope to see you all there. https://www.stjoeshelby.org/summer-signups/ RCIA Begins—Sept. 21

at all Perhaps you were baptized into a Protestant de-
nomination Perhaps you are planning to marry a Catholic Perhaps you are a fallen away Catholic Perhaps you are a Catholic who wants to learn

All catechists at St. Joseph who will be teaching our kids during the 2020-2021 school year should plan to attend the annual catechist cookout. The event will take place on August 17th at 6:30pm.

St. Joe Bus Rule
Bus guidelines from the State Health Commissioner mandate assigned seats and masks on buses during these times. We are following this rule on ALL trips.
Some Wisdom from CS Lewis That Might Help Navigate COVID Times
In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. “How are we to live in an atomic age?” I am tempt-ed to reply: “Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.”
In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our present situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sen-tenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways…..It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.
This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep thinking about bombs.

A Prayer for the Police
Oh Almighty God, whose great power and eternal wisdom embraces the universe:
Watch over all police and law enforcement officers.
Father in Heaven, please give them the strength,
courage and perseverance to endure the unjust condemnation, danger, and physical
abuse to which they are at times subjected.
We recommend them to your loving care because their duty is dangerous but necessary.
Thank you for calling them to serve us and maintain order and peace.
Dear God, grant these brave men and women
your almighty protection, Unite them safely with their families
after duty has ended.
Confirmation Mass—Sept. 30
Mark your calendars! The youth of St. Joe who have been preparing for Confirmation will be confirmed by the Archbishop at the Cathedral in Indianapolis on September 30th at 7:00pm. More details to come.
News for Both Parishes Fr. Mike’s Bookshelf
This week I would like to recommend to you a lovely book by Fr. Jacques Phillippe called Searching for and Maintaining Peace.
This book is AWESOME! It is a small work that talks about how to achieve peace of heart.
Many folks are unsettled these days, filled with anxieties, worries, and concerns. This is a common human experience, of course, but I would say the present COVID situation has exacerbated things.
We need peace! If the surface of the lake is peaceful and tranquil, it will reflect the sun. In just the same way, the more a soul is at peace, the better it will reflect God.
Part I of this book talks about how interior peace is the “road to saintliness.” Part II talks about how we might react to situations and people who might cause us to lose our peace. Part III has some wisdom from the saints about peace.
Friends, it is so important to live peacefully. Saint Seraphim of Sarov said, “Acquire interior peace and a multitude will find its salvation through you.” If we don’t find peace in Jesus, we wil always be exhaust-ed and we will simply transmit our own restlessness and distresses with those around us. That isn’t good for them -- or us! I can’t recommend this book enough. It has done wonders for my own soul. St. Joseph Parking Lot
Please do not park in front of the trash and recycle dumpsters/bins during the week..Monday thru Friday. They are located behind St. Joseph Church on the left side near the cafeteria door.
Photos in the Bulletin!
We are making an effort to put more pictures into the bulletin! After all, a picture is worth a thousand words!
A few notes:
1) Photos look WAY better on the online version of the bulletin. They are in color there. 2) Please email photos to [email protected].
3) Next week, we will feature pictures from VBS!
Prayer Before & After Mass
Remember that it is a beautiful practice to pray before Mass and after Mass. We can tend to come in at the last moment, or sometimes even late, and leave as soon as we can. Best to offer a pious, heartfelt prayer before Mass asking Jesus to touch and transform your life. Offer another such prayer at the end of Mass, thanking God for the Eucharist.
Rural King Supports Local Churches
Rural King is honored to host Church Week Sunday, August 2nd thru Saturday, August 15th with a pro-gram to support their customers’ Churches.

St. Vincent News
Sr. Joan’s Corner
Dear Parishioners,
In trying to explain some of the deeper secrets of life, Jesus gives us this parable in this weekend’s Gospel: the kingdom of God is like a merchant in search of fine pearls. When he finds a single one of great value, he goes and sells all that he owns and buys that pearl.
For what are you willing to renounce other things? Almost every choice we make means that we give up something else. If I fall in love and marry someone, that means that I don’t develop the same kind of rela-tionship with anyone else. When I decided to make the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience to live as a Sister of St. Francis for the rest of my life, that meant that I would not ever have a family of my own. It was a choice. In our everyday life we have to make choices between things or activities. If I choose to spend my time doing one thing, then I can’t spend the same time doing something else. I think Jesus is asking us to be aware of why we do the things we do. What is the pearl of great price in our lives?
This week as we take time to pray, we can ask our-selves these questions. Who is most important in my life? For whom do I make sacrifices? On what do I spend my money? On what do I spend most of my time? The answers to these questions will tell you what or who is really the Pearl of Great Price in your life. Talk with Jesus about this.
Sr. Joan
Outdoor Mass On Sundays
St. Vincent will continue to have 8:30am Sunday Mass outside at Mary’s statute. Remember to bring your lawn chairs, social distance and wear a mask. In Case of Rain and we have to have Mass inside and only about 50 people can safely be in church, please know that you can hear and/or see Mass in the St. Vincent’s Hall and can hear Mass in your car on the radio station 105.3. Holy Communion will be distributed at these places during communion time. You may also watch Mass livestream in your home.

The deadline for the August Newsletter is this Sunday, July 26th. Please share your joys and sor-rows with your parish family. Contact Pat 765-265-7195 or email [email protected].
Today’s Readings—July 26
First Reading — Solomon asks for an understanding heart (1 Kings 3:5, 7-12). Psalm — “Lord , I love your commands.” (Psalm 119) Second Reading — God predestined us to be con-formed to the image of the Son (Romans 8:28-30). Gospel — “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treas-ured buried in a field.” (Matthew 13:44-52)
Keep Your Rosary in Your Pocket
Pray to our Blessed Virgin Mary! We celebrate her intercessory power, especially as it happens through the Rosary. Please make an effort to keep a rosary in your pocket all the time.
Did you know?
Each week, we are including a fact about slavery in the bulletin as a reminder of our fundamental duty to treat all as brothers and sisters in the Lord. The Catechism teaches that “enslavement of human beings, their being bought, sold and exchanged like merchandise, [is] in disregard for their personal digni-ty. It is a sin against the dignity of persons and their fundamental rights to reduce them by violence to their productive value…” (CCC 2414).
Emancipation did not bring economic freedom to former slaves. Vagrancy laws allowed police to sweep up black men and then rent them out as convict labor. Following the Civil War, convict leas-ing programs shifted the Southern prison populations to predominantly black.

We joyfully share our gifts to nourish the community.
