MASS INTENTIONS FOR THE WEEK

The Parish staff wishes to thank the following parish min-istries: We thank our parishioners for their gift of faith, embrace of the Gospel of Joy, “works of mercy,” and support of the par-ish. As we celebrate the Easter Season, know that you are re-membered in our thoughts and prayers. We thank our parishioners who joined us for the weekday and weekend Masses via live stream. Be assured of our prayers for you and your family! We thank our parishioners for their support of the Sunday of-fertory via the use of Church envelopes and Faith Direct. Know that we are grateful for your prayers and support. We thank our parishioners who have offered their time and talents to assist our parishioners and our neighbors in need; local organizations – LINK and Embry Rucker Center; St. Lucy Project; Respect Life ministries; etc… Pope Francis shared: “let us be lights of hope! Let us maintain a positive outlook on reality.” We thank the SJC and SJS staff for their faithfulness and com-mitment to their ministry dur ing these challenging months. “Remember the past with gratitude. Live the present with enthusiasm. Look forward to the future with confidence.” –St. John Paul II

We thank our parishioners and visitors to the SJC/SJS proper-ty for their understanding that the Church parking lot and property is closed with the exception of visits to the Church and parish office. We know that some individuals have been upset with us, however, this security and safety issue is im-portant to us for many reasons. Here are a few reasons:

• For us as a faith community to be respectful to the direc-tives of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Fairfax County, and Town of Herndon. Bishop Burbidge has asked us to be respectful of the directives of our governmental lead-ers;

• For the safety and security of our property and the proper-ty of our neighbors;

SLOW CHURCH ZONE CONT’D…

• For safety of individuals on the property. With most parks and recreational spaces closed during the days of the pan-demic, the Church property and parking lot was becoming the new “alternative park” for many. The property was becoming the bike riding park for some; the picnic gather-ing space for some, the unleashed dog park for some; and the new student driving course for many.

• For the fact that the Church parking lot has moving vehi-cles on the property, we are not suited to be a park or rec-reational gathering space for the public.

We thank you for your respect of our property and our neigh-borhood.

ST. LUCY ‘NO CONTACT

FOOD COLLECTION’

St. Joseph Catholic Church parking lot

Friday, June 5, 2020 – 10:00 am – 2:00 pm We are in the midst of an unprecedented period of time in our world. A pandemic has attacked our country, cancelled our Masses, closed our schools, shuttered businesses and caused depression level unemployment. More people are food chal-lenged than ever. If you are one of those who are food chal-lenged, we are praying for you. Although, there are positive signs pointing towards some relief from this shutdown, we still have to endure challenges before the end of this period of trial. If you have food you can share, The St. Lucy Project is there to help you donate food to those in need within our diocese

A special St. Lucy Food Collection will take place in the St. Joseph Catholic Church parking lot on FRIDAY JUNE 5 between the hours of 10 AM - 2 PM. This will be a “no contact” collection. If you would like to participate in this donation, please follow the steps below:

• Place your food donations in the trunk or hatchback of your vehicle.

• Enter the church parking lot through the Peachtree

Street entrance.

• The St. Lucy Truck will be positioned near the school gymnasium.

Volunteers will direct traffic towards the truck. Once near the truck, volunteers will take your food donation from your vehicle. No need to get out of your car. No reusable bags. Plastic or paper is fine. Volunteers will direct you to the exit at Franciscan Way. St. Joseph’s parishioners have always been staunch supporters of the St. Lucy Project. We thank you in advance for your help and support of this most gracious act of mercy.

You are invited to journey with us this summer as we dive into the Old Testament with our Beholding His Glory Bible Study. We’ll be going through this study LIVE weekly on Instagram starting Thursday, June 11th at 8 p.m. ET/5 pm PT. (follow Walking With Purpose on Instagram @walkingwithpurpose_official!) Order your book today so that we can study together as a com-munity. Shop here at https://shop.walkingwithpurpose.com/collections/study-guides/products/beholding-his-glory-study guide. As we go through this time of uncertainty, whether we will be meeting again in person or using Zoom to carry out our Bible Study, we feel that the study of the Old Testament could give you an opportunity to discover the format for the Walking With Purpose Bible Study . If after completing this study and you feel that you would like to participate in our parish pro-gram in the Fall, please contact Susie Geurin at 703-338-7077 or sgeurin63@gmail.com or visit https://tinyurl.com/WWP-SJC.
