“There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit;
there are different forms of service, but the same Lord; there are
different workings, but the same God who produces all of them in
everyone.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
A thankful steward knows all he or she possesses is a result of God’s
grace. What we make of our lives depends on our work, but the
talents we possess are gifts from God.

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Is 62:1-5; Ps 96:1-2, 2-3, 7-8, 9-10; 1 Cor 12:4-11; Jn 2:1-11
For Zion’s sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will
not be quiet… Isaiah 62:1
I was ready to sit down at my assigned seat for the dinner at a
family wedding when a relative approached me, made a sarcastic
remark about the person who would be sitting across from her,
adding: “How about you trade places with me?” I made a quick
decision and replied, “It’s just one evening. Please let go of your
expectations of who you want her to be and accept her as she is.”
My relative snapped, “Thanks a lot for preaching to me.” This
situation raised a question often before me: “When should I be
quiet and when should I speak out?” I do not want to be self-
righteous, but I also want to speak up when my words will reflect
the kindness of Christ. Isaiah’s action gives me courage to do so
even though I might be scorned for it.

Parking lot renovations are coming! Much has been done on designing the parking lot for church: 1) new entrance 2) increased parking spaces 3) lighting 4) resurfacing the current lot and new striping for lanes 5) additional driveway for school children pick-up, funeral procession with Hearse and family cars, and closer
handicap spaces 6) new landscaping
The Parish Pastoral Council reviewed the proposal six months ago and supported it, and the Parish Finance Council was apprized. They have been awaiting final drawings and costs.
The Tree committee for the 200th Anniversary Year recommended the removal of the current Aristocratic Pear Trees which have nearly reached their expected life-span and replace them with native species, which will not hide the view of our church from the Fifth Street side. The Historical Review Board has approved. The Board encouraged our plan to plant 200 trees on our campus and in the cemetery. Thirty-eight have already been planted at school.
When I first arrived, Fr. Hammer relayed to me the idea for the new entrance which addresses the long-time concern of safety, as well as, ease of getting in and out of our parking lot. There were no drawings at that time. It is good that we address the increased truck traffic on Stephen Foster Avenue and dangers posed to people parking there. These improvements will give us greater safety and ease of parking.
We hope you share our enthusiasm for this project.
The Pope’s intention for January

Lord to communicate the joy of the Gospel to the world.

THANK YOU FROM ACTIVE DAY
We will now be sharing with Cox's Creek Elementary School as they gather plastic caps to get their recycled plastic picnic tables. Thanks for continuing to care for God's creation! The people
and staff at Active Day would like to thank the people at St. Joe's who have saved and shared their plastic
caps with them. They wanted some benches and picnic table for their beautiful patio and have enough to get
them, thanks to all of you.
