ST. JOSEPH CHURCH NEW PALTZ, NY

Veteran’s Day 11/11/16- Remember to thank a veteran for their

service to our country.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN- As we have reported in the past few

weeks, a capital campaign will soon begin

that will help us to address important needs

within our parish, including major

maintenance repairs and upgrades and, just as

importantly, evangelization and faith

formation initiatives.

Part of the funds generated through the capital

campaign will go toward several critical

maintenance projects for all of our buildings: the church

(including the hall), the parish center, the friary and the convent.

This will also include weatherization and necessary safety

improvements. As you well know, deferred maintenance is more

expensive in the long-term than maintenance done in a timely

manner.

We will describe the other initiatives in the weeks to come, and

please pray for the success of this campaign. As always, many

thanks for your great generosity toward this parish family.

HELPING THE HOMELESS- For the past several months, the

New Paltz Church Council (of which St. Joseph’s is a member)

has been able to provide hotel vouchers for homeless people

coming to our congregations for assistance. The funds for this

program are starting to run low, and with the cold weather

coming soon, we will soon need help in keeping this program

going. If you would like to make a donation to this ministry, it

would be much appreciated. Checks should be written out to “St.

Joseph’s Church” and can be dropped or sent in to the parish

center, or put into the collection baskets (in that case, please write

“Voucher Program” on the envelope).

BIBLE STUDY- A faith enrichment class entitled “An

Introduction to Sacred Scripture or What is the Bible Anyway?

will be offered on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 P.M. in the parish

center December 2nd. Topics will include:: How did the Bible

come to be; who wrote it; how can we have a fuller understanding

of teachings written over 2000 years ago; what are its historical

and linguistic challenges; what does the Church teach about study

and interpretation; how to pray with Scripture and more. The

Church teaches that our faith is based on Sacred Scripture and

Tradition. These classes will be an opportunity to deepen

understanding of ancient Scripture in order to enrich our faith and

practice in the 21st century. Come and make better acquaintance

with our sacred book. The presenter is Hildegard Pleva, a

graduate of the Institute for Religious Studies at St. Joseph’s

Seminary, Dunwoodie.

ONE BOOK ONE NEW PALTZ- The book $2.00 a Day:

Living on Almost Nothing in America has been chosen as the

2016 New Paltz community read. There will be

several events around the book during the week of

November 13-20. For more information, please go

to www.onebookonenewpaltz.com.

CAMPUS MINISTRY- Are you a SUNY

New Paltz student who would like to be a part

of a vibrant Catholic community on campus?

If so, Catholic Campus Ministry (CCM) may

be what you are looking for. CCM meets every Wednesday night

at 7:30 PM in the Student Union Building for fellowship, faith

sharing, and pizza. CCM sponsored events include: community

and parish service, retreats, monthly student masses, fun events,

and an annual mission trip to the Dominican Republic. For more

information contact Hank Grimsland, Catholic Campus Minister

at: hgrimsland@hvc.rr.com or by phone at: 845-255-8536.

CRYING ROOM- Just a gentle reminder that we have a crying

room in our church (also known as “The Mother’s Chapel”) and

that if your child is getting restless or just needs to have some

more space while the Mass is going on, you can bring them there

for as long as you need to. You are of course still very much part

of the congregation while you’re in this room and you are able to

hear all that is going on within the main body of the church. We

appreciate very much the efforts of parents to bring their children

to church and we want to make that experience of being at Mass a

better one for the parents and their children.

CATHOLIC APPROACH TO VOTING-

An important part of our life as Catholics is our par-

ticipation in civic life. Catholics, as people of faith

are called to bring the values of the Gospel to the worlds we are a

part of, including the political world. Therefore, we all have a

responsibility to vote with an informed conscience so that our

communities will reflect a spirit of justice for all people. To read

the document from the US Conference of Bishops on voting enti-

tled Faithful Citizenship, please go to www.usccb.org/issues-and-

action/faithful-citizenship
