Our Mission Statement - St. Joseph Parish is a diverse, rural, family oriented, growing Catholic faith community. Centered in Christ,

this community strives to provide for the spiritual growth and faith development of all of its members within a warm and welcoming

atmosphere. All parishioners are invited to actively participate by sharing their gifts and talents in selfless service for others, and by

being respectful, forgiving and honest in their relationships. Parishioners strive to make everyone feel valued, especially newcomers,

families, the elderly and the youth.

2 Thessalonians 1:3-4 - Thanksgiving 3 We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, because

your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is

increasing. 4 Therefore we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God for your

steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you are

enduring. Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)

Prayer for a Pandemic

May we who are merely inconvenienced

Remember those whose lives are at stake.

May we who have no risk factors

Remember those most vulnerable.

May we who have the luxury of working from home

Remember those who must choose between preserving their health or

making their rent.

May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their

schools close

Remember those who have no options.

May we who have had to cancel our trips

Remember those that have no safe place to go.

May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic

market

Remember those who have no margin at all.

May we who settle in for a quarantine at home

Remember those who have no home.

As fear grips our country,

Let us choose love.

During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each

other

Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors.

Amen.

We are grateful for your patience. Let us continue to pray for those infected with COVID-19, those who have died from

it, the medical professionals and caregivers who serve as our first responders, and for our public officials charged with

making vital decisions for our health and protection. For more information go to: https://www.victoriadiocese.org/

Coronavirus Prayer by: Father Barnabas

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

My Lord Jesus Christ, in your ministry you travelled through towns and villages curing every disease and illness. You commanded

and the sick were healed. Please come to our assistance in the midst of the spread of the coronavirus globally. Lord, healer of the

sick, stay by our side at this difficult time of the spread of the disease. Be with those who have died and be with the families who are

grieving. Be with those who have contracted the virus and grant them your healing. Lord Jesus, we pray to you to be with our

doctors, nurses and all medical researchers who are helping us look for a cure. Protect them and guide them with your wisdom so

that they will find a cure for this disease. Lord, we pray also for the leaders of all the countries, that they will be one in finding a

solution to this illness. Lord Jesus Christ, stay with us when we are at home, at work and travelling. Guide and protect us in the

midst of the coronavirus spreading globally. Lord Jesus, heal us, hear us and give us your peace. Amen.
