OUR MISSION

We, the faith community of St. Joseph Parish,

Kingston-Plympton, believe that we are called

daily to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ:

to learn, to share, and to live the message of Jesus. Guided by

the Holy Spirit we recognize that we are unique with diverse

gifts from God and that as Christ's disciples we are to develop

these gifts of Time-Talent-Treasure, to nurture and strengthen

our families, our community, our nation, and our world.

RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS: The RCIA is

the process through which interested adults and older

children are gradually introduced to the Roman Catholic

faith and way of life. Contact Ann Moberg: 508-465-1959.

MARRIAGES: Couples are asked to contact St Joseph

Parish at least one year in advance of the date on which

you wish to be married.

BAPTISMS: For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the

first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and disciple-

ship. One Sunday a month the Sacrament of Baptism is

celebrated. Please call the parish office for information

regarding Baptism.

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 23 - 24, 2016

Kingston—Plympton

Dear friends,

These past few weeks I have made a wonderful retreat at the San Alfonso Retreat house in Long Branch, N.J. The

facility is located on the ocean which made for a beautiful setting. About 40 priests from around the country attended;

it was a great experience for me. The four presenters focused on the Pope’s Letter on the Family, the Jubilee Year of

Mercy, The Gospel of Luke and Women in the Scriptures. The next 4 days I took my parents to the Berkshires. We

spent some time at the Shrine of Divine Mercy, the Norman Rockwell Museum, the Shaker Village and at

Tanglewood where we saw the BSO.

This past weekend I was with 15 of our kids and three adults at the Annual Steubenville Youth Conference at U Mass

Lowell. Over 3,000 high school students attended this spirit filled weekend. A special thank you to Rob and Kris Forde

and Erin Kramer who chaperoned this trip.

I want to thank Fr. Robert for taking such good care of the parish in my absence. I want to bring something to your

attention regarding Fr. Robert’s parish that I was unaware of. All of the parish’s in Ghana are poor, some more than

others. But Robert’s is extremely poor. The most difficult hardship they have is that the rectory/church and the parish-

ioners near the church do not have running water. I asked Fr. Robert to describe the situation. “As a priest assigned to

the parish, my pastor, Fr. Roch and I always have to get some youth to walk not less than ½ mile to carry water on their

heads up the hill to the parish house to fill up our water containers so that we can use buckets to bathe, cook, wash

our clothing as well as flush our toilets.” I thought to myself, what do the elderly and sick do? I called Fr. Roch last

week and asked him how can this situation, of the lack of running water be fixed. He said that it would take $2,000

American dollars to drill a bore hole, as they call it, near the church. If that were done the rectory could be hooked up

and the toilet, sink and shower that are already there would have running water and many of the people could get

their water with much less effort.

I promised Fr. Roch that we would find the money so that the priest and people of Christ the King Parish could have

something that we all take for granted-Running Water. Everyone is busy during the summer so I thought that the

easiest way to solve this very solvable problem is to take up a second collection during the weekend of August 20 and

21. On a personal note: when I was in Haiti I took bucket showers-it’s no fun.

I hope that everyone is enjoying the summer months.

God bless,

Fr. Wally

Debt Reduction Campaign

A check in the amount of $4,000 has been sent to the Archdiocese of Boston from the funds collected for the parish

Debt Reduction campaign. This payment reduces the note on Our Lady’s Hall to $8,000. When the campaign started

the note on Our Lady’s Hall was $312,218. Good News!

Organ Fund

The amount of money needed to install the new Rogers Organ has been raised. More Good News! The installation

should be completed within the next two weeks.

PARISH FINANCES: The collection for the Offertory on the weekend of July 16/17 was $7,710.00. The

budgeted amount needed per week is $8,000 to deal with the present operating deficit. Thank you for your

continued support and generosity.

The Pilot is an important voice in the public square that brings you the Catholic perspective on current events.

Inspired by the vision of our publisher, Cardinal Seán O’Malley, The Pilot covers it all — from in-depth reporting on Pope Francis to the good works of Boston parishes.

Each week, The Pilot brings you the stories of Boston Catholics who bring the Works of Mercy to life on a daily basis.

Proclaiming the present Holy Year of Mercy, Pope Francis said he wants to make it evident that the Church’s mission is to be a witness of compassion. “Let us not forget that God forgives and God forgives always,” Pope Francis said. “Let us never tire of asking for forgiveness.”
