                                                          When a child discloses abuse, the first thing to remember is to stay
                                                          calm. Coming forward takes incredible courage and trust; it is usually
                                                          very hard for children to open up. If a child discloses abuse to you, it is
                                                          important to listen fully to what he or she is saying. Limit your ques-
                                                          tions to short, simple queries: What happened? Who did this? Where?
                                                          When? Let the child know you want to help and coming forward is the
                                                          right thing to do. As soon as possible, make a report with a child pro-

WHERE THERE’S A WILL THERE’S A WAY
St. Joseph the Worker is a special place, where we are
touched daily by God’s presence among us. Rooted in
the legacy of our founding parishioners, we have become
the dynamic faith community we cherish today. A gift to
the future of our parish will support its spiritual richness
and many good works for generations to come.

Please remember St. Joseph the Worker in your will or
trust. To learn more about planned giving opportunities
that can benefit St. Joseph the Worker, please contact
the Parish Center or Kimberly Jetton, Planned Giving
Manager, Archdiocese of Los Angeles; (213) 637-7504;
plannedgiving@la-archdiocese.org.

To make a gift: Our correct legal title is: The Roman Cath-
olic Archbishop of Los Angeles, A Corporation Sole, for
the benefit of St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church

PARISH REGISTRATION
To promote a spirit of belonging, we encourage all who
worship here to become registered parishioners. Having
registered makes the process much easier when it is
time for infant baptism, school or religious education
enrollment, weddings, when asked to be a baptismal or
confirmation sponsor, and funerals. Simply attending
Mass here does not make you a registered parishioner.
Please call or visit the Parish Center to request a regis-
tration form or complete the form online at the parish
website: www.sjwchurch.com. Also, please contact the
Parish Center if you have a new address or phone num-
ber. The staff is able to serve you better if the parish
records are accurate.

REQUESTING USE OF PARISH FACILITIES
Parish and School groups that would like to reserve any
facility in the parish must contact Angela Escobar in the
Parish Center (818) 341-6634, ext. 1003. Only rooms
reserved in advance are open. If your group needs to
cancel a reservation, please let Angela know so that the
room can be made available to another group. Also, if
your group needs a particular room arrangement, please
bring a copy of the requested floor plan to the Parish
Center a week ahead.

BULLETIN AND MASS ANNOUNCEMENTS
The deadline (strictly observed) for submission of Bulle-
tin and Mass announcements is the previous Monday at
noon. Deliver a copy of the bulletin or Mass announce-
ment to the Parish Center or email it to Angela Escobar:
angela_escobar4@hotmail.com. To submit a photo to
accompany the bulletin text, send a digital file (jpeg or
TIF), color or black/white, 300 dpi. See the front cover
for the parish mailing address and fax number. For more
information please contact Angela Escobar, (818) 341-
6634, ext. 1003.
