Disciples in MissionDisciples in MissionDisciples in MissionDisciples in Mission
God was no stranger to Abraham. Our first
reading gives us a glimpse into their
relationship. Abraham’s faithfulness and
closeness to the Lord made him comfortable
enough to bargain back and forth with God.
This conversation would never happen
between strangers. In our Gospel, Jesus tells
us, “ask and you will receive; seek and you
will find; knock and the door will be opened
to you.” Friendship with God happens when
we persevere in prayer and keep the lines of
communication open to God. Do you have a
pattern of daily prayer that keeps your
relationship with God growing?

Our next book to read
and share in discussion is:
The Ear of the Heart: An Actress’s Journey from Hollywood to Holy Vows
"A beautiful movie star gives up a successful Hollywood career to enter a traditional cloistered monastery. Can't happen? It did. In this heartfelt and moving memoir, Mother Dolores Hart explains how by listening with the 'ear of the heart' she heard God's call and dared to respond. Her journey powerfully demonstrates that we must be willing to lose our lives and forfeit our plans to discover our true purpose. The fascinating story of Dolores Hart also teaches us to seek God regardless of where we are-in a summer storm, in prayer, or even in front of a camera." -- Raymond Arroyo, New York Times Bestselling Author, Host of The World Over Live and EWTN News Director
We have a limited number of copies of the book available for purchase at our office at a discounted rate of $14.00 each.
If you are interested in joining the Collaborative Book Club, please contact the Parish Office to sign up. We look forward to seeing you!

Have you ever thought of joining the St. Joseph choir but are not sure whether you are able to make the commitment?
Then consider this: each Sunday this summer, we would like to invite anyone who is interested to come to the St. Joseph choir loft at 11:15AM for coffee, a rehearsal and to join members of the St. Joseph adult choir in singing at the Noon Mass.
The summer provides a "low-commitment" approach to finding out how you might fare as a choir singer. The response has been great these last few years, and the summer has gained us some wonderful new choir members!
As your schedules permit, we would love to see many of you there! And please feel free to bring your family members, neighbors and friends - spread the word!! Thanks!
