First Reading Acts 14:21-27
After Paul and Barnabas had proclaimed the good news to that city and made a considerable number of disciples,
they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch. They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted
them to persevere in the faith, saying, “It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of
God.” They appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord
in whom they had put their faith. Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia. After proclaiming the
word at Perga they went down to Attalia. From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to
the grace of God for the work they had now accomplished. And when they arrived, they called the church togeth-
er and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
Psalm Psalm 145 Willcock
1. I will give you glory, O God my king, I will bless your name for ever.
I will bless you day after day and praise your name for ever. Ref.
2. The Lord is kind and full of compassion, low to anger, abounding in love.
How good is the Lord to all, compassionate to all creation. Ref.
3. All your creatures shall give you thanks, O Lord, and your friends shall repeat their blessing.
They shall speak of the glory of your reign and declare your might, O God. Ref.
Second Reading Revelation 21:1-5a
Then I, John, saw a new heaven and a new earth. The former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and
the sea was no more. I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband. I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with
the human race. He will dwell with them and they will be his people and God himself will always be with them
as their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or
pain, for the old order has passed away.”
The One who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.”
Gospel Acclamation Haugen
“I give you a new commandment, says the Lord: love one another as I have loved you.”
Gospel John 13:31-33a, 34-35
When Judas had left them, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is
glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and God will glorify him at once. My children, I will be with
you only a little while longer. I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also
should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

The St. Joseph Pastoral and Mission Council is delighted to share a
new initiative with the parish: The Care Plan. This plan, aligned with
the parish’s mission to be “Ignited by the Eucharist to Love and Serve,”
gives a pastoral roadmap for the Council to engage meangingfully with
the priorities of the people of St. Joe’s. Especially in this time of emerg-
ing from a pandemic, welcoming parishioners from St. Pat’s, and look-
ing forward to a new Pastor, the Care Plan allows the Council to stay
focused and active this summer and beyond.
While this isn’t a long-term strategic plan (although the School is work-
ing on a campus-wide Strat Plan), the Care Plan focuses on effective
engagement with Commissions, Ministries, and Parishioners. The Plan
doesn’t replace or supercede anything that’s currently happening at
St. Joe’s - it’s simply a way for the Council to help support the already-
ongoing works of the parish.
The plan is divided into six inititatives:
Light on the Hill - Outreach and Community, Especially Social Justice
Comeback - Ideas for Engagement Post-Pandemic
Leadership Support - How Do We Welcome St. Pat’s Parishioners and
Help Make Fr. Chris Cartwright’s Transition Smooth
Commissions - How Does the Council Work Most Effectively with
Commissions?
Jesuit Connections - Strengthening Connections with the 14 Puget
Sound Jesuit Works
Internal Council Work - Reviewing and Revising Council Work Proto-
cols
How can you get you get involved? It’s YOUR Council, after all. Is there something that interests you? Have ideas?
Get in touch! It’s easy. You can contact the Council by emailing pmc@stjosephparish.org or simply talk to us!
Council members are available after every Mass during the second weekend of each month. (You can identify
them by the silver badges or find a complete list on our website.)

Archbishop of SeattleBecoming Anti-Racist
May 2022: Race as a Social Construct
Scripture: 1 John 2:9 Whoever says, “I am in the light”, while hating a brother or sister, is still in the darkness.
“Another thing we must do is to get rid of the notion once and for all that there are superior and inferior races.
Now we know that this view still lags around in spite of the fact that many great anthropologists, Margaret Mead
and Ruth Benedict and Melville Herskovits have pointed out and made it clear through scientific evidence that
there are no superior races and there are no inferior races. There may be intellectually superior individuals within
all races. In spite of all this evidence, however, the view still gets around somehow that there are superior and
inferior races. The whole concept of white supremacy rests on this fallacy.”- from Martin Luther King Jr.’s Com-
mencement Address at Lincoln University June 6, 1961
History: “The concept of race is a relatively recent development.
Only in the past few centuries, owing largely to European imperial-
ism, have the world’s people been classified along racial lines. Here,
in America, the idea of race emerged as a means of reconciling
chattel slavery-as well as the extermination of American Indians-
with the ideas of freedom preached by whites in the new colonies.”
– from The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander, 2012
“Racism has run like poison through the blood of American soci-
ety since Europeans first landed on these shores. And, since that
beginning, America and Americans have invested much in deny-
ing it. America’s and Americans’ denial of their blatant racism and Michelle Alexander
the attending atrocities committed throughout the nation’s history
has become pathological. Such denial has allowed this illness to fester for almost 400 years. It is what keeps this
country sick with this issue of race. At the root of this sickness is the unchallenged belief that there are physical
differences between people that account for the intellectual attributes and abilities of those people. Since before
Aristotle’s time, people have been using the idea of racial difference to justify the subjugation and enslavement of
those different and less powerful than themselves. Race has no scientific merit outside of sociological classifica-
tions. There are no significant genetic variations within the human species to justify the division of races”. - from
Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome by Dr. Joy Degruy, 2017
“Many of us have been taught to believe that there are distinct biological differences between races. This biol-
ogy accounts for visual differences such as skin color, hair texture, and eye shape, and traits that we believe we
see such as sexuality, athleticism, or mathematical ability. The idea of race as a biological construct makes it easy
to believe that many of the divisions we see in society are natural. But race, like gender, IS socially constructed.
The differences we see are superficial and emerged as adaptations to geography.
Under the skin, there is no true biological race. The external characteristics that
we use to define race are unreliable indicators of genetic variations between any
two people.
Whiteness rests upon a foundational premise: the definition of whites as the
norm or standard for human, and people of color as a deviation from that norm.
Whiteness is not acknowledged by white people, and the white reference point
is assumed to be universal and is imposed on everyone. People of color, includ-
ing W.E.B. Du Bois and James Baldwin, have been writing about whiteness for
decades, if not centuries. These writers urged white people to turn their atten-
tion onto themselves to explore what it means to be white in a society that is so
divided by race. For example, in 1946, a French reporter asked expatriate writer
Richard Wright his thoughts on the ‘Negro problem’ in the United States. Wright
replied, ‘There isn’t any Negro problem, there is only a white problem.’” - from

Reflection/Prayer: Jane Elliot Video
Holy One, You call us beloved. We belong to you. You created us in your image; through your very breath you
formed us.
Through your Son Jesus, our Teacher, You taught us to call one another beloved, because in belonging to you, we
belong to each other.
You told us to see your image in the faces of the forgotten and the oppressed.
Through you we became one family; through your Spirit, we breathe the same breath.
Free us from that which keeps us from perfect love of our neighbors, because loving our neighbors is the same as
loving you. Help us to recognize your image in the faces of others. We unite our commitments with those working
for racial justice across the country, that we may work together to participate with you in building your Kingdom
here on earth.
Strengthen all of us, that through the power of your Spirit, we might have the courage to love you, others, and
ourselves, with all of our hearts, minds, and strength. Amen.
Annual Catholic Appeal
We are called by our baptism to be missionary disciples. Archbishop Etienne affirmed this message in his recent
Annual Appeal letter when he wrote “the mission of the Church is not merely something we have. It is who we
are. This mission was shared with us at baptism.”
Your gift to the Annual Appeal supports the mission to help others encounter Jesus. From hospital and prison
ministries to Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) camps and young adult programs, your gift to the Annual Appeal
allows us to do together what one parish can’t do alone. Together, WE CAN be Christ to Others!
