Outreach Ministry has been formed at St. Joseph to assist sick, elderly, disabled, or homebound parishioners or

need of one of these services, please contact ARLENE REDEKER at 475-3414. If you are able to provide one of
these services (visit, send cards, make calls, provide a meal or ride), also call Arlene. We would also like to send
birthday cards to parishioners and community members who are 80 or over, widowed, in a nursing facility, or
homebound. If you know of someone that might enjoy a card, please call KAREN HAYES at 475-3327 and give
her their name, birthday, and address. THANKS for your help in getting our ministry started!
Please keep our seminarians in the Archdiocese in your daily prayers. These
seminarians are fulfilling summer assignments in different parishes and areas in the
Archdiocese.

“GOD BLESS AND MANY THANKS”!

MARRIAGE MINUTE
The Cross of Infertility
This weekend we celebrate the birth of John the Baptist, a miraculous child born to parents who
bore the heavy burden of infertility for many years. God answered Elizabeth and Zachariah’s
prayers, but there are likely couples you know who are still waiting for their answer. Here is how
you can help:
• Don’t give advice unless asked.
• Acknowledge their suffering and offer to listen.
• Be sensitive regarding baby or child-related events.
• Continue to pray and let your friend know you are praying.

If you are in the midst of this struggle yourself, we know there are no easy answers. We join you
in prayer with this weekend’s psalm: For you are my hope, O LORD; my trust, O LORD, from my youth.

“Farewell Father John”


We truly appreciate your six years of friendship and pastoral guidance here at St. Joseph
Parish . Thank you for bringing us closer to Christ through your teaching, guiding, and
inspiration. You have touched so many hearts and lives. Your presence will be missed
immensely; however, we know that you are fulfilling God’s plan; and we will continue to
pray for God’s blessings of peace and joy as you move your ministry to
Our Lady of Unity Parish in Kansas City.
Please refer to this schedule and notes during the interim while
awaiting the arrival of our new priest (hopefully in early September!)
