“A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good,
but an evil person out of the store of evil produces evil;
for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.”
Luke 6: 45
“Through prayer and service, the Saint Joseph family will strive to bring the community
together to love, heal, and support one another as the people we are called to be in Christ.”
Parish Prayer
Oh Lord,
You are the Potter,
we are the clay.
Design us to reflect
your glory as we rebuild
your Church.
Fashion our ears to
hear new ideas.
Shape our hearts to
appreciate others’
creativity and insight.
Form our eyes to see
Jesus in each other.
Mold our community to
be united in
our pilgrimage.
Help us build a place
of refuge,
a holy temple,
with Jesus as the
cornerstone.
May we work together
with love and care,
ever mindful that
the spirit,
not the structure,
is the essence of
the design.
May we come together
as a family of one,
to be guided by
the Father,
Holy Spirit,
and Son.
Amen.
Prayer to
Saint
Michael
Saint Michael
the Archangel,
defend us in
battle, be our
protection
against the
wickedness and
snares of the
devil. May God
rebuke him, we
humbly pray; and
do thou,
O Prince of the
Heavenly host,
by the power of
God, thrust into
hell Satan and
all the evil
spirits who prowl
about the world
seeking the ruin
of Souls.
Amen.

Erosion Repairs Completed at St. Joseph Cemetery
Last month we shared a picture of the
work being done to repair soil erosion
along the Mission Boulevard frontage of
St. Joseph Cemetery located on Mission
Blvd at Felipe Common. A leaking
irriga on system and unstable soil on the
slope above the sidewalk retaining walls
were the source of the problem. The
slope has been stabilized and burlap
ne ng and wa les installed to keep the
soil in place. Drought tolerant plants will
be added later this spring.
