Submit bulletin Articles by Friday 12 (one week prior ) to: e-mail: bulletin.editor@stjoseph-elkgrove.net noon Saint Joseph Parish Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 7, 2016 “Depart from me Lord for I am sinful man.” In today’s Gospel, we witness the call of Peter, Andrew, James and John. At the Sea of Galilee, Jesus calls these set of brothers to lower their nets on the other side of their boat. They have been trying all night to catch some fish without any luck. Peter takes the risk and heeds to Jesus’ instruction. He finds himself in awe. He immediately recognizes something in Jesus that is beyond his imagination. Peter finds himself unworthy of such an experience. Jesus insists and they ultimately leave everything and follow Him. What will it take for us to do the same? Most of us can speak of a time when we have experienced a manifestation of God’s mercy and love. We can also speak of our experiences of miracles that affirms us God’s consistent presence in our lives. These are moments that put us in awe of God. But are these experiences enough for us to leave everything and follow Jesus? God knows who we are, what we have, what we can give, and who we can be. Yes we are unworthy of such an invitation to be a follower and witness to the gospel, but God has called each of us. God hopes that we will take that leap of faith despite not knowing what lies ahead. We need to have the same trust and confidence that God has of us to follow Jesus all the way. God Bless, Fr. Brian Atienza Quinto Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario 7 de Febrero 2016 “Apártate de mí, Señor, porque soy pecador!” En el Evangelio de hoy, somos testigos del momento en que Jesús llama a Simón Pedro, Andrés, Santiago y Juan en el Mar de Galilea. Jesús les dice a estos hermanos echan sus redes para pescar. Estos hermanos habían trabajado toda la noche y no habían logrado pescar nada. Simón Pedro hace lo que Jesús le indica y queda asombrado e inmediatamente reconoce algo en Jesús que va más allá de su imaginación. Pedro reconoce que no es digno de esta experiencia, pero Jesús les insiste y ellos dejan todo para seguirlo. Les pregunto a ustedes, que nos hace falta para hacer lo mismo? La mayoría de nosotros puede hablar de un momento en que hemos experimentado la manifestación del amor y misericordia de Dios. También podemos hablar de nuestras propias experiencias de milagros que afirman la constante presencia de Dios en nuestras vidas. Estos son los momentos en que nos sentimos sobrecogidos de la grandeza de Dios. Pero les pregunto, acaso son estas experiencias suficientes para que dejemos todo y sigamos a Jesús? Dios sabe quiénes somos, lo que tenemos, lo que podemos dar y quien podemos ser. Es cierto no somos dignos de tal invitación de seguir y ser testigos del evangelio pero Dios nos ha llamado a cada uno de nosotros. Dios espera que tomemos ese salto de fe a pesar de no saber lo que está más delante. Necesitamos tener la misma confianza y seguridad que Dios pone en nosotros para seguir a Jesús. Dios los Bendiga, P. Brian Atienza Saint Joseph Parish Annual Catholic Appeal Awareness Weekend The Annual Catholic Appeal is our annual tradition that connects us to thousands of people who need our help every day. This year, our Appeal Weekend takes place two weeks from now on the weekend of February 20th-21st. Last year, through your generosity, our parish contributed $80,911.00 to the Appeal. Our 25% parish share was used to support the works of our St. Vincent de Paul Society and help send our youth to the World Youth Day in Poland. This year funds from the Annual Catholic Appeal will allow us to assist our less fortunate neighbors through our St. Vincent de Paul Society. Through our support, we can assure that many vital social service programs continue to assist tens of thousands of people in need, assist with the formation of diocesan seminarians, and provide need-based tuition assistance to deserving families in our most economically-challenged communities. Your gift makes a difference in someone’s life. Please prayerfully consider what you can give.

Members of the RCIA process in our parish of St. Joseph and St. Vincent de Paul, having progressed in the faith and continuing in the catechumenate process, will now be formally accepted into a more intense preparation for the sacraments of initiation which are celebrated at the Easter Vigil. Today at the 11:00am Mass, the catechumens (unbaptized) and candidates (our baptized brothers and sisters) will be presented to our parish community in the “Rite of Sending”, in which our community will have the opportunity to express its approval of the catechumens and candidates, they will then sign their names in the “Book of the Elect”, and will be sent forth to the Bishop assured of the parish’s care and support to celebrate the diocesan “Rite of Election”, a formal celebration in which the names written in the “Book of the Elect” are called out before the Bishop. He then elects the catechumens to full initiation into the Catholic Church and the candidates into full communion. The catechumens and candidates will celebrate the “Rite of Election”, on the first Saturday of Lent, February 13th at 7:30 pm, at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. Please pray that together with the catechumens and candidates, we may be conformed more and more to the image of Christ, in whom is our hope of salvation. Saint Joseph Parish/Saint Vincent de Paul St. Vincent de Paul Society News Jesus said, “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me”. This is the work of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, but we need money to carry out this mission. Please remember us as you consider your pledge to the Annual Catholic Appeal. If you or someone you know is in need of help with food, clothing or utility bills, please call our confidential hot line at 916-667-2779. One of our volunteers will return your call to schedule a home visit to discuss your needs. God Bless You. SUPPORT PARENTS' RIGHTS THE PROBLEM: Did you know that a teenage girl (under 18) can't get a flu shot, a cavity filled or an aspirin from a school nurse without a parent's permission; but she can get an abortion without even informing one parent!! SOLUTION:A Par ental Notification law will provide a notice to a parent 48 hours before an abortion is performed! This is why we are collecting signatures on a petition to put a Parental Notification law on the 2016 ballot, so that it can be voted on and passed by the voters! We will be collecting signatures after all Masses on the weekend of February 6th and 7th. If you would like to help, please call Dee or Joe Madruga at 916-685-5679.

LA SOLUCIÓN: Una ley sobr e la notificación a los padres le dará aviso a la madre o padre 48 horas antes de que el aborto sea realizado.
