PENTECOST SUNDAY
MAY 15, 2016
A Message from the Pastor…
Festirama is upon us! The children are
excited; the committee chairs are all hard
at work, scrambling for volunteers and
setting up the grounds. Each year, I pray
assiduously during this week for a number
of things: (1) the safety of all our workers
and guests during the three days, (2) that we have enough
volunteers so as to not wear out people, and (3) that we are
blessed with good weather for the weekend. If you have
not yet volunteered, there is still time to help us out! We
particularly need people to help with the tear-down on
Sunday afternoon/evening.
+++++
Congratulations to Joan Zunk, one of our 2nd grade teachers,
who will receive the prestigious Golden Apple Award for
excellence in teaching at an awards ceremony this Thursday,
at the Hilton Garden Inn. Joan is one of six teachers across
the diocese to receive this award. Congratulations, Joan!
+++++
Compassionate and
Caring People Needed –
We are in need of multiple people
to bring Communion to Catholics in the
Sylvania Community. We have eight
nursing homes/extended care facilities
and Flower Hospital that have Catholic patients who wish
to receive Communion on a weekly basis, and we need
Eucharistic Ministers to serve on one of these days,
once a month at:
Sylvania Care Center (Genesis) – 1st Friday and a
substitute for any Friday
Also needed are people to bring Communion to homebound
parishioners on a weekly basis.
This service offers a wonderful way of ministering to
the sick, which is both a Corporal and Spiritual Work
of Mercy in our Catholic Tradition. Currently, over 75
parishioners serve as Eucharistic Ministers to the residents
in these medical care facilities. If you are willing to give an
hour or so of your time on a monthly basis, please contact
Joanne Denyer at jdenyer@stjoesylvania.org or 419-8855791, ext. 230. No prior experience is necessary and training
will be provided.
We have completed our First Communion liturgies. There
were five different celebrations—three successive 4:30
Masses and two 12:00 Masses. First Communion is always
a joy for me, seeing the excitement of the children about to
receive our Eucharistic Lord for the first time. They are so
precious!

Monday, June 13
Vespers at 6:00
in Church
One of the challenges at First Communion liturgies is dealing
with guests who have little or no understanding of what
the Eucharist is. We have even had to take the measure of
advising people in the opening announcements not only to
silence electronic devices and refrain from picture-taking
during Mass, but to dispose of chewing gum! [It is never
appropriate to be chewing gum in church, unless for a
medical necessity. This is not an auditorium or an arena,
but the house of God and His people, preparing to receive the
Body and Blood of the Lord.] I have also had to tell young
men to remove their ball caps before entering the church!
I certainly do not want to offend anyone, particularly your
guests who may be attending Mass with you. On the contrary,
funerals, weddings, and First Communion celebrations are
wonderful opportunities for evangelization, when people of
other faiths or even Catholics, long away from the Church,
can see how beautiful and powerful our Eucharistic liturgies
are. We are always happy to have guests here to pray with
us. But there is a matter of decorum and respect for the
Eucharist, which we must always uphold. This is even more
apropos as we enter the warm summer season. Please make
every effort to dress appropriately when you come to worship
our God and receive the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus.
Have a blessed week. See you at Festirama!

9th Annual
Baby Bottle Campaign
Change for Life
Why is Mary so Important to Us?
As Catholics, we have a special reverence for the Blessed
Mother. We turn to her in prayer, in the Mass, in the Rosary,
and in Marian devotions. We honor her with special feasts
celebrating the significant events in her life. We place images
of her in our churches and homes.
The members of the Respect Life Committee
distributed baby bottles again this year. The money
collected will be given to organizations that assist
mothers and their children.
Mary: A Biblical Walk with the Blessed Mother
Last weekend, Mother’s Day , May 7th and 8th, baby bottles were
available at the doors of church. Please take one and fill it with
change.
is a study that reveals Mary’s unique role in God’s Kingdom
and in our lives. Filmed on location in the Holy Land,
Mary: A Biblical Walk with the Blessed Mother will place you
in the midst of the powerful drama of her earthly life, taking
you through her joys...and her sorrows.
Join us for this study to be held on Thursday evenings,
beginning May 26th and continuing for 8 sessions. The
study will run from 7:00-8:30 p.m.
For more information or to register, call Joanne Denyer at
419-885-5791 or email: jdenyer@stjoesylvania.org.
The cost of the workbook is $20; please register before
May 23rd. Invite a friend!
Return the filled bottle on Father’s Day weekend, June 18th and
19th, to the designated box in the back of church. If you
choose to return the bottle sooner, please deposit it in the
box in church or bring it to the Parish Center.
If you did not attend church at St. Joseph on Mother’s Day weekend,
you can still pick up a baby bottle in the Hospitality Area in the
back of Church.
Whatever you can give to make a CHANGE in the lives of mothers
and their children will be very much appreciated.
If you have any questions, please call Laurie, Parish Nurse, at
419-885-5791.

Preschool Celebration On May 31, preschool families will
participate in the End-of-the-Year Family Celebration. Families will
gather in church where all of our preschool friends will sing songs. Children
moving on to Kindergarten will then cross over a bridge symbolizing the new
journey they will soon begin. To prepare your preschoolers for kindergarten
over the summer, encourage coloring, painting, playing with Play-Doh and use of writing tools. Using these tools a couple of
times a week will help develop fine-motor skills!
6th Grade Day of Caring On May 12, the 6th grade participated in an on-campus Day of Caring in recognition of
Positive Direction Week 2016. Students helped a variety of parish ministries including the Parish Welcoming Committee, St.
Joseph Meals, St. Joseph Preschool, the Divorced and Separated and Cancer Support Groups, as well as other
meaningful outreach projects. Thank you to all our parent volunteers who made the day possible for our students!
Did You Know … St. Joseph School participated in the first-ever Pennies to Dollars for Scholars fund
raiser for the Northwest Ohio Scholarship Fund (NOSF) and raised $2,360.54! It was a spirited penny
war between the grade levels and all donations benefit tuition assistance provided by NOSF!
3rd Grade Science Program Students in Grade 3 are participating in a five-week program
called Veggie U. This is an opportunity provided to our students by a grant from the Lucas County Health
Department and the Ohio Department of Health! Students worked on recording vegetable characteristics

process of composting.

From Kim Koesters,
Development Director…
St. Joseph Endowment Fund…A Word from Our
Parishioner
“I strongly support the Endowment Fund for
St. Joseph School and believe that it is a real
gift to families who want their child(ren) to
receive a Catholic School education. I give
to this fund because I believe in the values
and morals which are an integral part of a
Catholic School education. As a Sister of St.
Francis and a Catholic School teacher, I am
personally committed to enriching the lives
of our Catholic School children.”
Sister Judy Beaudry
Did you know, because of you, since 2003, the Endowment
Fund has provided regular annual distributions to the school that
total nearly $400,000? These distributions have been possible
because of your contributions and the growth of the fund.
The stronger the fund is, the more it can help offset the cost of
running and maintaining the school.
You will find an envelope for the Endowment Fund in your
monthly packet. Please consider making a contribution to the
Endowment Fund this month. For more information, contact
Kim Koesters, kkoesters@stjoesylvania.org or 419-885-5791, ext.
240. We appreciate your support of our Endowment Fund!
Be merciful, just as your FATHER is merciful:
2016 Annual Catholic Appeal
Did you know that when an engaged couple attends a retreat
in preparation for marriage, the Appeal is at work? When
a catechist receives training to teach religious education, the
Appeal is at work. When a baby’s life is saved from abortion
or a homeless person receives a warm meal, the Appeal
is at work. These are examples of ministries at work every
day throughout the Diocese of Toledo, supported by your
donations to the Annual Catholic Appeal. You know
many of them – St. Francis Outreach Center, Helping Hands
of St. Louis, La Posada Emergency Family Shelter, H.O.P.E.
Food Pantry, Youth, Young Adult and Campus Ministry, and
support for those men who have been called to the Priesthood.
It is your donations that make possible the continuation
of these ministries. If you have already made a pledge to the
Annual Catholic Appeal, thank you! If not, please take a moment
to prayerfully consider a gift to the 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal.
You will make a difference in the lives of the many touched within
the Diocese of Toledo.
The campaign goal is $2,800,000, and our parish goal is
$98,500. 100% of funds raised over our parish goal will be
rebated back to our parish. Our parish has currently pledged
$81,815 toward our goal of $98,500. Due to your
generosity, we have exceeded our goal for the past four
years.
Thank you for your extraordinary support.

Northwest Ohio Scholarship Fund Presents Raise the Cap. The Northwest Ohio Scholarship
Fund (NOSF) is presenting its 4th annual Raise the Cap Event on Tuesday, June 14 at Fifth Third
Field, to help raise funds for scholarships. NOSF awards need-based scholarships for students
to attend a private school or be homeschooled for K-Grade 8. NOSF has awarded over 13,400
scholarships to children in northwest Ohio since 1999. This school year over 300 scholarships
totaling $340,000 was awarded for kids to attend Catholic schools. Raise the Cap guests will
enjoy a fun evening with Toledo’s favorite Mud Hens as they take on the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Railriders. The event will be held in The Roost (enter on Washington Street Side) of the stadium
that overlooks the field. Tickets are $50 and include an All-American dinner buffet and a reserved
seat. For more information, visit www.nosf.org or contact NOSF at 419-720-7048. Reservations
can be made online at http://tinyurl.com/RTC16.
Scholarships for Catholic Freshmen at the University of Toledo. Corpus Christi University Parish
will again be offering $5,000 Christian Leadership Program Scholarships to twelve incoming
Catholic freshmen at the University of Toledo. These students will also receive spiritual formation,
opportunities for community service, and leadership training. The 2016-2017 scholarship
application is available online at www.ccup.org/clp. Any questions can be directed to the program
director: Father Phil Smith (psmith@ccup.org or 419.531.4992).
In preparation for Memorial Day, the Catholic
War Veterans are asking for 80 volunteers to
distribute flags at Calvary Cemetery beginning on
Thursday, May 26th.
The WW II Veterans who have honored their fallen
comrades for many decades are no longer able to
complete the task, but the tradition must continue. If you are able to help, kindly contact Dee Pakulski
at 419.843.7003 or vetsandpets2@aol.com for
more information.
