    Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for
    Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. For members of the
    Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. When fasting, a person
    is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal.
    The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church
    from age 14 onwards.

    that is done because we give: the homeless are sheltered, the elderly are cared for; our
    seminarians are prepared for future ministry, to name just a few. To date, St. Joseph has
    collected only $2,765 of our $12,805 goal with only 2 weeks left! Please return your pledge
    card in the collection or by mail SOON! Thanks!

    Kitchen and Club room, targeted for February 2019.

    MARRIAGE MINUTE
    When things are difficult in our marriage, we can often isolate ourselves. We can feel like the lepers in this weekend’s
    readings, waiting for rejection from others we think will consider us “unclean.” This is reinforced when we see others who
    seem to have minimal problems. Like the lepers, the problems themselves seem so much bigger when faced alone. When
    Jesus healed the lepers, he not only ended their physical suffering, but invited them back into community. If you are
    hurting in your marriage, he wants to heal your hurts and put you back in relationship with your spouse and with His
    Church.

    Update on Parish Visioning
    WOW!! What a turn out! On Thursday evening, February 1st, over 40 parishioners showed up to kick off our parish’s
    strategic planning process. After a welcome by Fr. John and a report from the Pastoral Council by Diana Kuhlmann,
    Steve Ehart from the Office of Mission Strategy at the Archdiocese gave a presentation about the process. Teams were
    formed for four of the parish’s five major goals, with several teams created to address Goal 1 – pastoral priorities.
    Teams met immediately following the presentation and began discussions and planning. It was so exciting to hear the
    conversations and feel the energy in the room as ideas were formed about where we want our parish to go and what
    we want to look like in the next 5 to 10 years. Future team meetings are scheduled for late February and early March.
    The goal is to have progress reports from each team to Fr. John in March and April, with a final roll out of the
    objectives and action plans slated for May 3rd.

    The foundation of the strategic plan is as follows:


    Parish Mission Statement
    By the grace of God, to celebrate, live and joyfully share our Catholic faith.

    Parish Goals
    Together we commit ourselves to:
    Goal One: PROVIDE FOCUS AND IMPROVEMENT TO PASTORAL PRIORITIES
    through purposeful planning and execution. This includes:
    CONVERSION, EVANGELIZATION, ALL FORMS OF CATHOLIC
    EDUCATION, OUTREACH TO THOSE IN NEED, YOUTH MINISTRY, AND
    SENIOR ENGAGEMENT.
    Goal Two: ENRICH THE SUNDAY EXPERIENCE for all parishioners and guests in
    order to provide them opportunities and to encourage them to grow
    as disciples of Jesus.
    Goal Three: FOSTER PARISHIONER ENGAGEMENT that creates a healthy, vibrant
    and living parish community, fully capable of carrying out the mission of
    the Church of Jesus Christ.
    Goal Four: PROVIDE FOR PARISH FINANCIAL VIABILITY AND VITALITY through the
    development and implementation of a parish budget that is designed to
    integrate stewardship, development, facility needs and expense
    management with transparency and open communication to parishioners.
    Goal Five: PROVIDE WELL-MAINTAINED FACILITIES for the parish mission and
    ministries through a continual maintenance awareness and
    stewardship of facilities effort.

    If you have any questions about the process please feel free to contact Fr. John or Diana Kuhlmann (475-3784). If you
    are interested in being on a team but were unable to attend, please contact Diana Kuhlmann and she will get you
    connected with a team leader.
