VOCATION REFLECTION
February 1, 2015: 4th Sunday of Ordinary Time
“If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” Moses heard the
word of the Lord, and he responded. Where is God calling you to go?
What is His will for you? As you discern God’s will for your life, listen,
follow, and harden not your hearts. If you feel that God might be calling
you to priesthood, let the Office of Vocations assist you in your discernment.

HOLY HUMOR
An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally
asked him, "How do you expect to get into Heaven?" The boy thought it
over and said, "Well, I'll just run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Jimmy, come in or
stay out!'
IN GRATITUDE
Thanks to all who contributed to the Right to Life of Owensboro bucket
collection at the Masses on the weekend of January 18. Your donations
totaled $743.11 and will help support educational efforts to promote the
sanctity of life.
IN APPRECIATION
The Family of Mary Board would like to thank Fr. Carl and Fr. Al for

THE NEW MEMBERS TO
THE CATHOLIC FAITH
ARE LIKE A BLOOD TRANSFUSION
One of the greatest strengths of the Catholic
Church is those who fully join us through the
RCIA Process. RCIA is an acronym that
stands for the Right of Christian Initiation of
Adults. The Rite actually says that those who
join us through this process are the “life blood
of Church.” What this is saying is that their entry into the Church
brings new life to the rest of us. In other words, they are like a
blood transfusion for the rest of the church. Because, when we
see their joy and enthusiasm in Christ it renews our life with
Christ. In this Sunday’s bulletin column, I have asked Rick Rhodes to begin to introduce us to those who will join us fully at
Easter. In Peace, Fr. Carl
Our RCIA Journey of Faith is blessed to have 11 individuals
requesting full communion with the Church this year. As the parish receiving them into the Catholic Church, it is our joy to welcome them and provide for them. Much like the first 12 apostles
they are a very diverse group of people with a wide variety of
ages and personalities. They are teenagers, newlyweds, young
fathers, expectant mothers, senior citizens and several groups in
between. They come to us with questions, struggles, fears, hopes
and dreams.
But as diverse a group as they are, they all have one thing in
common: they are seeking growth in their relationship with Jesus.
They are seeking to belong to a faith community that will support
them when the journey seems too long and hard, to comfort them
when they experience times of grief and pain, to pray with them
and to pray for them when life gets difficult, and to rejoice with
them when life is good. They are seeking what we all hope to
find: a loving, supportive, caring community of faith. They are
seeking what most of us have found here at Sts. Joseph & Paul: a
community of love, a community of disciples, a community of
believers trying to live as Jesus modeled. They are seeking what
we have come to know as CHURCH.
On Sunday February 8th during the 10:00am Mass, we will
celebrate with these 11 disciples the Rite of Acceptance and Welcome. This is a chance for this Faith Community to say we are
glad you are here to pray and worship with us. A chance for us to
say to: John Congleton, Drew Frey, Rhonda Walker, Janet Carrico, Tracy Jean, Arianna Porter, Brad Carter, Nicole Ardaiolo,
Kara Simon, Joe Hamilton and Janet Payton welcome to our
Family.
Blessings, Rick Rhodes
A KOINONIA SPIRITUAL CHALLENGE – To
anyone in our parish who has made a Koinonia
Retreat, I spiritually encourage you to pray for
our upcoming Koinonia #22 Retreat and to invite another to make the February 21st, 22nd,
and 23rd Retreat. Your invitation is a call for
someone to come and meet Jesus Christ in our
community of believers. In Peace, Fr. Carl

AN UPDATE ON “WATER WITH BLESSINGS”
~A CLEAN WATER PROJECT~
SR. LARRAINE LAUTER, OSU came to our weekend Masses on
January 10th and 11th to make us aware of the critical need for clean and
safe drinking water in the world, especially in
fourth world countries. Our parish will be joining with “Water with Blessings” to work to
provide clean water for the people in our Twinning Parish of St. Joseph in Lalomas, Haiti. By
the printing of this bulletin, we have received
donations of $14,625 for this “Water with
Blessings” project. The cost of a water filter is
$60, which means that we can empower 244
water women to each provide clean water for
those in their own household and three other
neighboring households. Each filter has the useful expectancy of purifying over one million gallons of water over time. Your generous donations have gotten us off to a great start on this project, but many more
water women are needed in Lalomas, Haiti. If you have questions about
this project or need more information about it, please call Lee Franey at
270-929-3032.

IMMIGRATION FORUM
Why would a person leave the familiarity of his/her native
land, family and friends and move to the uncertainty of a foreign country with a different language and culture? What it is
like to be an immigrant to western Kentucky? What is the
position of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops on the treatment of immigrants and comprehensive immigration reform?
What can we do to help resolve a problem that has been years
in the making?
For a discussion of the issues surrounding this topic, all are
invited to attend an Immigration Forum presented by the Diocese of Owensboro Hispanic Ministry director, Chris Gutierrez
and his wife, Patti. The event sponsored by the social justice
team will be held at the parish hall on Tuesday evening
February 24th, from 6:15 pm to 7:30 pm.
Ash Wednesday Collection for the
Diocese of Mandeville Jamaica
“It Is Right and Just”
The Ash Wednesday Collection on 2-18-15 will again be for our
Sister Diocese of Mandeville, Jamaica.
As the Priest begins the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass, he says “Let us
give thanks to the Lord our God” and our response is ”It is right and
just.” As we share from our blessings for the needs of our Sister Diocese in Mandeville Jamaica, we respond not only with words, but also
with deeds to thank the Lord for His many blessings to us and share in
His ongoing mission to tell the whole world of His kindness. Please
consider a generous response to this collection again this year.
Please keep in prayer Cindi Hoppe &
Family & Ashli Adcock & Family whose
aunt/great-aunt, Barbara Hayden, passed
away recently. Please keep in prayer Fr.
Ray Clark whose father, Harold Clark,
passed away recently. May the Lord grant
them perpetual life & eternal peace.
