From Fr. E.J. -

     I am writing this reflection on the Solemnity of St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus and husband of Blessed Mary. I am thinking about our Family of St. Francis Seraph and St. Clement parishes. One of the principles of the Family of Parishes process is that it takes place with prayerful discernment attuned to what God is asking. Wouldn’t St. Joseph be a good intercessor for us in our process?

      Parishioners of both parishes have expressed enthusiasm: “I am looking forward to working this out together. Coming together could make us stronger. Our increased diversity would be a positive. Coming together would develop our Franciscan bonds.” Parishioners from both parishes have also had expressions that could indicate some fear. ”Will my church close? Will we have to share a pastor, parish staff, programs, finances? Will both schools stay open? Will I lose the style of liturgy I prefer?”

       St. Joseph knew what it was like to live with both enthusiasm and hope. He had a lively faith and trust in God. Wouldn’t he have looked forward to having Mary as his wife? Wouldn’t they both have looked forward to raising their son? Joseph had a home and a skill that provided a good living for a family.

      St. Joseph knew fear and confusion. How was he to understand his relationship with Mary when she became pregnant? Moving a family to Egypt and later back home must have had its uncertainties and stresses. St. Joseph can be a good model of faith and trust in God for all of us as we move through this process of Family of Parishes with hopes and fears. 

      All St. Francis Seraph and St. Clement parishioners are welcome and encouraged to come to a Combined Parishes Meeting at Roger Bacon High School, Saturday morning, April 29.  Babysitting will be available for children ages 3-9 years old.

       At 9:30 a.m., doors will open and check-in will begin. Each attendee will receive a numbered name tag indicating their table.  A team member at each table will designate a note taker. Spanish translators are being prepared. The goal of this meeting is to provide an opportunity for parishioners to meet, to learn about Beacons of Light, to express their feelings, and to start building a community. Breakfast snack items will be available throughout the morning.

       After prayer, speakers and Family Team members will be introduced, followed by ntroductions around each table. There will be a brief presentation of the history, culture, and mission of each parish; and then a statement about the need for Beacons of Light from an Archdiocesan and Franciscan perspective.  An hour of small group discussion will follow, with reporting back at 11:35 a.m. 

       Registration forms will be available online and on paper. Please pray that God’s Spirit guides us as we gather.

May God bless you all!   Fr. EJ
