Saturday, May 30

“Peter turned and saw the disciple following whom Jesus loved . . . he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus said to him, “What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of yours? You follow me,” (Jn. 21:20-22).

“The greater and more persistent your confidence in God, the more abundantly you will receive all that you ask.” St. Albert the Great

Father, many times we interfere in issues which do not concern us. May we follow your Son, putting all our trust in Him to lead us to who we ought to be, doing what we must and go where we should. Amen.

Sábado, 30 de Mayo

“Pedro miro atrás y vio que lo seguía el discípulo al que en la cena había inclinado sobre su pecho y le había preguntado: “Señor, ¿quien es el que te va a entregar? Al verlo, Pedro preguntó a Jesús: “¿Y qué va a ser de éste?” Jesús le contestó: “Si yo quiero que permanezca hasta mi vuelta, ¿a ti que te importa? Tu sígueme” (Juan 21:20-22).

 “Entre más grande y más persistente sea tu confianza en Dios, todo lo que le pidas se te será dado con más abundancia.” San Alberto el Grande

Padre, muchas veces interferimos en asuntos que no nos conciernen. Que podamos seguir a tu Hijo, poniendo toda nuestra confianza en Él para que nos instruya en quien debemos ser, haciendo lo que tenemos que hacer e ir a donde debemos ir. Amen

As we all know during these difficult times as our Carpinteria community struggles with the Covid-19 virus, many of our neighbors and friends have lost their jobs and are struggling to meet the basic needs of their families from day to day. As disciples of
Jesus, who fed the hungry, we here at St. Joseph Church will be holding a food drive this Sunday, May 31, 2020 from 10 am - Noon. Our goal is to be able to distribute needed food staples to the Carpinteria community in need as soon as possible.

You may drop off your donations of non-parishable food staples in the St. Joseph’s parking lot located at 1532 Linden Avenue. Tables will be set up in the parking lot for you to place your donated food items in order to maintain social distancing. Please enter at the El Carro entrance and exit using the Linden exit. If you would like to contribute to our food drive through a monetary donation please drop of your donation at the parish office in an envelope clearly marked “food drive.”

Your generosity is greatly appreciated as we come together as a community to meet the daily needs of those suffering during this trying time.

This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday and preparations are underway as we come closer to the day when we can reopen our churches.
 
While we wait for that day, however, Bishop Barron wishes to signal to our people that the time is fast approaching when we will begin to leave our homes and once again assemble and pray, together. In this vein we want to make you aware that Bishop Barron will preside in an outdoor prayer services on Pentecost Sunday at St. Joseph Church at 2 pm.

Este domingo es el domingo de Pentecostés y los preparativos están en marcha a medida que nos acercamos al día en que podamos reabrir nuestras iglesias.
 
Sin embargo, mientras esperamos ese día, el Obispo Barron desea señalar a nuestra gente que se acerca el momento en que comenzaremos a abandonar nuestros hogares y una vez más nos reuniremos y rezaremos juntos. En este sentido, queremos hacerle saber que el Obispo Barron presidirá un servicio de oración al aire libre el domingo de Pentecostés en la Iglesia de San José a las 2 pm.

Lo invitamos a unirse a nosotros para un servicio especial de auto servicio en la Iglesia de San José con el Obispo Barron este domingo 31 de mayo a las 2 pm en los terrenos de la Iglesia de San José. Por favor estacione su auto en el campo. Usted y su familia pueden adorar juntos, experimentando un servicio que consiste en una Liturgia de la Palabra y Adoración Eucarística al aire libre.
 
¡Esperamos con ansias estar juntos en esta experiencia especial en la iglesia!
 
Tenga en cuenta que si bien este es un evento al aire libre, se les pedirá a todos que permanezcan en sus automóviles para garantizar un distanciamiento seguro.
