Dear Parish Family,
As I write this, Fr. Ricky is a chaperone in Washington
DC with the St. Joseph School eighth grade class. I
don't know their itinerary, but I remember my high
school trip in 1954. All the boys climbed the stairs to
the top of the Washington Monument and it was tiring.
We rode the elevator to the ground.
At the Masses on Saturday and Sunday, Fr. Ricky told
us about the crawfish festival being held at Our Lady of
La Vang parish on South Tucson Blvd, the Vietnamese
parish. They'll be cooking blue crabs, crawfish and
shrimp and there will be other 'goodies'. By the time
you read this, their festival will be almost over, except
for the Sunday hours of 8 a.m. To 3 p.m. We hope you
can find some time to help a neighboring parish.
Next week there will be no Masses on Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday, April 26, 27, and 28. Fr.
Ricky will be attending the Diocese of Tucson Priests
Convocation. The deacons will conduct Communion
Services at 7 a.m. on those days.
The St. Joseph fiesta will be here on Friday, and
Saturday, April 29 and 30 from 5 to 10 p.m. and
Sunday, May 1 from 10 a.m. To 3 p.m. Please stop by
to support this parish and school activity. It looks like it
will be a lot of fun for children of all ages. The flyer
says there will be a Ferris wheel and a giant slide, just
to name a few. With my susceptibility for vertigo, you
won't find me on any of those.
When you drive by on Craycroft Road at night, look at
the statue of St. Joseph in front of the church. We have
installed two lights that are directed to the statue.
These lights are connected to the circuit that controls
the parking lot lights and will go on at the same time as
the parking lot lights.
Have a grace filled week!

Business Manager
Estimada Familia Parroquial,
Mientras escribo esto, el P. Ricky está acompañando a
los estudiantes del octavo grado de la escuela San
José en su viaje a Washington DC. No sé su itinerario,
pero recuerdo mi viaje de la escuela secundaria en
1954. Todos los estudiantes subieron las escaleras
hasta la cima del monumento a Washington y fue
agotador. El regreso a la planta baja lo hicimos en el
elevador.
En las misas del sábado y domingo el P. Ricky nos dijo
sobre el festival de las langostas que se
estará celebrando en la Parroquia Vietnamita de
Nuestra Señora de La Vang en S. Tucson Blvd. Van a
estar cocinando langostas, camarones y
habrá otras “golosinas”. Para el tiempo que usted lea
esto, el festival estará a punto de terminar, a excepción
de las horas del domingo de 8:00am a 3:00pm.
Esperamos que pueda encontrar algo de tiempo para
ayudar a una parroquia vecina.
La próxima semana no habrá misa los días martes 26,
miércoles 27 y jueves 28. El P. Ricky estará asistiendo
a la Convocatoria de Sacerdotes de la Diócesis de
Tucson. Los diáconos realizaran servicios de comunión
a las 7:00am durante esos días.
La Fiesta de San José se llevara a cabo el viernes 29 y
sábado 30 de abril de 5:00pm a 10:00pm y el domingo,
mayo 1 de 10:00am a 3:00pm. Por favor asistan y
apoyen a esta su parroquia y actividades de la escuela.
Parece que habrá mucha diversión tanto para los niños
como para los adultos. El anuncio dice que habrá una
rueda hidráulica (Ferris Wheel) y un tobogán gigante,
solo para nombrar algunos. Con mi susceptibilidad al
vértigo, no me encontrarán en ninguno de esos.
Cuando conduzca por la noche a través de Craycroft,
vea la estatua de San José enfrente de la Iglesia.
Hemos instalado dos luces que se dirigen directamente
a la estatua. Estas luces están conectada al circuito
que controla las luces del estacionamiento y se
encenderán al mismo tiempo.
¡Que tengan una semana llena de gracia!

Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William
Lori recently implored Knights: "In an era when
Mass attendance is in decline, Knights of
Columbus families should make it a priority to take
part in Mass every Sunday and encourage our
extended families to participate in Sunday Mass as
well. How important that all of us tap into the
power of God’s mercy as we seek to live the
principles of the Order and build our broken world
into a true civilization of love."
Council 8813's next First Friday fish dinner will
be served on May 6 in Healy Hall from 4:30-7. All
are invited. Scrumptious hand battered fried cod,
salmon and (Deacon Leon and Fr. Ricky's favorite)
catfish highlight the menu, and there are plenty of
other options available.
If you are a Catholic man interested in becoming a
Knight, please contact our council at 520-303-4791
or by email at Kofc8813@yahoo.com
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL CORNER
The Lord has commanded us to care
for those who are less fortunate. At.
St. Joseph Parish, this is
accomplished in many ways. We
take part in working together to bring
he love and peace of Christ to those
who are suffering. For example, Parishioners
donate monies and also donate food to the St.
Vincent de Paul Pantry.
There is always more to be done! The SVdP Food
Pantry could use some specific items, such as
oatmeal, cereal, rice, saltine crackers and pasta
sauce.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated and assists
us in providing for many families within our
community.
Thank you in advance for your
generous response.

I am currently typing this very excitedly, because our

sure everyone will arrive there safely, and that
everyone has tons of fun!
Fiesta will be here shortly, and so here’s a huge
thanks from the students to Mr. Granillo for getting
us carnival rides! Track and field members
competed in their last normal track meet, and good
luck to all those who qualified.
