Dear Saint Joseph Family in Christ,
Welcome to Saint Joseph/Old Mission San Jose and our weekly communication newsletter. I invite you to embrace and share these messages with your family and friends.
Go out to all the world and tell the Good News. Psalm 117
This weekend we celebrate the Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time. How many times have we heard the words ringing from Luke's gospel today? "The last shall be first and the first shall be last." The Narrow Door reference reminds us that our salvation and path to eternal life take a deliberate and sustained effort. It's all about attitude. Strive to enter through "the narrow door" and live by Jesus' example and perspective...not just when you feel like it. Not just when it's easy. It's a mindset. Practice and live it every minute of every day.
We have officially ended the “To Build Church” (TBC) project and replaced it with our Revised Master Plan. If you are a previous donor to this project, you will receive documents from our parish office via USPS regarding the unwinding process and how we are moving forward. The correspondence will contain a form for you to complete and return regarding your past contribution(s) to TBC.
We ask you to prayerfully consider whether or not you would like to redirect your funds to the Revised Master Plan and the advancement of our Church, Mission and School. To come to a clearer understanding and acceptance of our Revised Master Plan, we have provided individual Staff updates, reports and graphs/charts, detailing where we came from and the direction we are heading. To view these reports, please visit our website at https://www.saintjosephmsj.org/townhall.
Since 1997, many people have added their visions and endless hours of work to the 1999 TBC project in so many ways. We want to thank all who have given their time, talent and finances in the past efforts to build a new church. As this project comes to a close and is replaced with our Revised Master Plan, we understand and appreciate the sense of loss for some. We pray we are able to restore great hope, faith and joy as we move forward enthusiastically with a very viable and achievable replacement plan. Thank you for your steadfast and generous support.

Yours in Christ,
費利蒙天主教聖若瑟堂華人團體組織章程
二零二二年五月
聖若瑟天主教華人團體
Chinese Catholic Community at St. Joseph或簡稱CCCSJ。
本團體遵從羅馬天主教會美國奧克蘭教區費利蒙聖若瑟天主堂主任神父之督導，以梵蒂岡第二屆大公會議〝教友傳教法令〞之精神，提供華人牧靈與福傳服務。
執行本堂主任神父交代事宜，全力配合參與堂區各項活動。
提高教友靈修熱忱，共度虔誠信仰生活。
發揮教友和諧互助精神，以團體工作為己任，共同建立愛德之團體。
以基督精神關懷社區，促使教友負起愛德福傳之責任與使命。
本團體隸屬美國奧克蘭教區費利蒙聖若瑟天主堂，受該堂主任神父督導。
凡教友及慕道友經由聖若瑟天主堂登記註冊，即為本團體成員。
凡歸屬於本團體財物:
收入：凡經由捐贈所得之財物。
支出：凡經傳協會同意，符合本團體精神及宗旨之財物支付。
聖若瑟天主堂華人團體之運作，由傳教協進會 (傳協會）統籌。傳協會之組織為：
每兩個月固定由傳協會召開一次，協調與促進各善會工作，並向團體報告決議事項。團體會議必要時可臨時召開。
傳協會成員由團體教友中選出，任期由當年七月一日至後年六月三十日。 任期屆滿由傳協會向團體公開遴選，現任成員可連選，無任期限制。
組織章程由傳協會執行，團體監督。章程若需修訂，由傳協會自行斟酌處理。
(瑪利亞的母性在聖寵的計劃實施中的角色)
依照天主上智的措施，使聖言降生成人，有福的童貞瑪利亞，自永遠就被預定為天主之母。她在世時，曾做了救贖主的崇高之母，以特殊名義作為祂慷慨的合作者，和上主謙遜的婢女。她懷孕了基督、產生祂、養育祂、在聖殿中將祂獻與聖父，分擔她那死在十字架上的聖子的痛苦，她以無與倫比的方式、在救主的工程上、以服從、信德、望德、熱切的愛德、在人靈內恢復超性的生命上通力合作。因此，她在聖寵的境界中是我們的母親。
瑪利亞的這一母性，在聖寵的計劃實施中的角色，永不休止的繼續存在。自從她在領報時，在信德中給予同意時起，便恒心保持這一同意，一直到十字架下，一直到所有被選者達到永生的圓滿境界時為止。事實上，在她蒙召升天之後，她並沒有放棄這項救世的職責；她繼續以各種轉禱，為我們求得永遠得救的恩惠。
她的母愛使她關懷她聖子的弟兄姊妹們──他們還沒有完成他們的旅程，並生活在危險和憂慮之中──直到引導他們達到幸福的天鄉為止。
因此童貞聖母在教會中，有各種被人呼求的銜頭，如：辯護者、輔助者、救護者、中保等。但是要知道：這對基督唯一中保的尊嚴和效能，並無任何增減。
因為任何受造物，都不能與降生成人的聖言、救贖主等量齊觀。可是，猶如基督的司祭職，以不同的方式由神職人員、或由信友所分享；又如，天主的唯一仁愛，以不同的方式、真實的普及受造物：同樣，救贖主的唯一中保地位，不僅不排除，反而在受造物中促進各種方式的合作，這種方式的合作，都來自唯一的源泉。
教會毫不遲疑的明認瑪利亞這種隸屬性的中保職責，也不斷加以體驗，並昭告信友們，好使他們依恃慈母的助佑，而與我們的中保兼救主，更密切結合。

We are his people, the sheep of his flock. Psalm 100
This weekend we celebrate EASTER IV, also known as Good Shepherd Sunday. We also share this day with our beautiful mothers. Happy Mother's Day!
Today is “World Day of Prayer for Vocations.” Each year on this Sunday, we reflect on the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd who devotedly and kindly takes care of his flock. The title “pastor” means shepherd. A shepherd leads, feeds, nurtures, comforts, corrects, and protects his flock—responsibilities that belong to all Church leaders, parents, civil leaders, and all who are in charge of others.
