*With your help, the 7/8th graders collected, loaded, and delivered 400 pounds of aluminum cans to Hetlinger Developmental Services
Inc. in Emporia. Your gift was greatly appreciated and will be used to provide special activities which aren't funded by other means. It's
wonderful what a little time and effort can do for others in need. Also, this class sent greetings with encouraging words, birthday cards,
Christmas and Easter cards to two seminarians from the archdiocese. One of the seminarians, Nicholas Ashmore, will be ordained as a
priest on May 25, 2019. Nicholas lived in Burlington, but attended St. Joseph School. We invite you to read his story about his journey to
the priesthood in the April 12, edition of the Leaven.

*The 6th grade religious education class would like to thank the parish for donations of food items for the poor. We
delivered six boxes of assorted breakfast, lunch, and supper items. Young students get these food items and they have
said that our church does a good job with providing things that they don't normally get and are excited to have. The
small things we do makes a BIG difference for them. Thank you!

St. Joseph’s Cemetery News Announcement


The St. Joseph’s Cemetery Committee would like to encourage any parishioner who would like some of the extra dirt that has
accumulated at the cemetery to feel free to load up as much as they want. We also have some pipe posts in concrete that were
removed from the front fence of the cemetery. Anyone that could use these are encouraged to come and load them up ASAP.

We hope everyone has noticed the improvements made to our St. Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery thus far. We are currently having the
center sign painted. We hope to post our rules and regulations for the cemetery in the next few weeks. We continue to seek
donations to complete the remaining sections of the cemetery fence and apply additional gravel to the roadways in the cemetery from
all the recent rains. Anyone interested in donating please see a committee member.

We want to thank everyone who has assisted with the improvements thus far. We thank these individuals for their time, talents, and
treasures for our cemetery and Parish. We also appreciate the time and effort put in by the committee members.
Congratulations to Matthew Glazier as he journeys through the process of becoming a priest. He was installed as a
Lector with 5 other candidates by Bishop Kemme at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Wichita. He
continues to study for 2 more years at Kinnrick-Glennon Seminary in St. Louis before becoming a priest in 2021.
Please pray for him!

I would like to thank everyone for their cards, visits, and calls, and for coming to my
90th birthday reception. It will long be remembered! Blessings to all!........Mary Dee Brinkman
