Anointing of the Sick If you or a loved one is in need of the Sacrament of the Sick, please let your caregiver/hospital/nursing home/hospice staff know you are Catholic. You do not need to wait until death to celebrate the Sacrament of the Sick. Please call the Parish Office at 260-463-3472 to let our priests know. Once death has occurred, the best place to start is to contact the funeral home. The staff there will guide you in preparing for a Catholic service along with contacting our Parish.

Offertory Program Todo lo que hacemos aquí en la Iglesia San Jose se hace por el amor a Dios. Esto puede parecer obvio, pero ¿refl exionamos sobre eso lo sufi ciente? Hay mucho que hacer para mantener una parroquia en funcionamiento: administrar los sacramentos; proporcionar ministerios y programas; atendiendo a los necesitados, a los enfermos y al sufrimiento; cuidando el edifi cio y la propiedad. A veces podemos caer víctima de olvidar por qué estamos aquí. Podemos olvidar que somos una familia de creyentes, unidos en el amor de Dios, que estamos trabajando y esforzándonos por ser discípulos fi eles de Jesucristo. ¡Pero esto es lo que somos! Y es el amor de Dios el que nos une, sabiendo que Su Hijo nos mandó que “se amen unos a otros como yo los he amado” (Jn 15: 12, Biblia Latinoamericana). Cuando mantenemos esa misión a la vanguardia de nuestros pensamientos, palabras y acciones, todo cae en su lugar. Este es el corazón de lo que hacemos aquí en la Iglesia San Jose, y es una gran bendición poder compartir esta misión con ustedes. Es unido en el amor de Dios que ofrecemos nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro para edifi car el reino de Dios. Lo hacemos por: • Orar por otros y participar en la vida sacramental de la Iglesia. • Servirse unos a otros, especialmente a los más vulnerables. • Cuidar a los enfermos y a los que sufren. • Crecer más profundamente en la vida de fe. • Y difundir las buenas nuevas de Jesucristo a todos. Para vivir nuestra misión, necesitamos que todos los feligreses de San José se unan. Todo lo que tenemos es un regalo de Dios, así que debemos devolverle a Él generosamente. Esto es amor en acción. Pedimos que los feligreses de San Jose consideren con espíritu de oración hacer un regalo fi nanciero a nuestra parroquia para ayudarnos a avanzar en esta misión más crítica. Como familia unida en el amor de Dios, podemos hacer mucho más juntos que separados. Ningún regalo es demasiado pequeño, y estoy muy agradecido de antemano por su generosidad. Mientras trabajamos juntos para llevar concretamente el Amor de Dios a un mundo muy necesitado de él, oro que permanezcan en el Amor de Dios, y que su alegría sea completa. Por favor, oren por mí también. En Cristo, P.

Facility Improvements Please prayerfully consider a gift to our campaign. Success depends on the sacrifices of many, rather than a few. We invite every family to build our future together. Though we may not all be able to offer equal gifts, we can offer the Lord and each other equal sacrifice. Priest Sacristy Dear parishioners, It is with great joy that I share with you that the Priest Sacristy is already finished. The project cost $7,694.77. I am deeply grateful to the Hispanic community for all their work at the Corn School Festival last year and to all of you for buying Mexican food there and also for your donations. I hope to start the second and last phase of this project next year. It will be the renovation of the sacristy for altar servers and the sacred vessels for the Holy Mass. Also, remember that we need your donations and support for the roof of our parish. Our parish groups will be doing some activities to raise money. We hope for your generosity. Thank you so much. Fr. Osman Ramos

Our Parish On January 5, 1937 the construction of St. Joseph's Catholic Church began and was concluded by the following 19th of March, when it was dedicated by Bishop Noel . The dedication service was full to capacity, including twenty-three priests. In 1957, St. Joseph's was granted the full status of Parish by the Bishop, and with that received a full time priest. Fr. Raymond Osdyke, a Franciscan, was assigned to be St. Joseph's first priest as a true parish. In the summer of 1977, the ground was broken to begin a larger church and hall building, which continued until completion at the end of 1979-80. Bishop McManus dedicated the new church on April 26, 1980, making the new home official. Little changed over the years, but in June 2012 the parish ended its affliction with the Franciscan friars in Angola, becoming instead a parish of the diocese. Anyone who grew up at St. Joseph's or attended Mass there during the time of the affiliation would undoubtedly look on Angola as forever part of the family. 10 years later, in 2022, our bond to Angola returned with sharing our priests with St. Anthony of Padua in Angola and St. Paul's Chapel in Fremont.
