9:00 am + 1:30 pm Masses
A new year of catechism and faith formation has begun
for kids and adults! We are so grateful to those who serve
in the sacred ministry of Catechist and who volunteer
their talents and time in evangelization and faith formation. At the 9:00 am and 1:30 pm masses this Sunday,
we will bless our catechists and pray that the Holy Spirit
will guide their efforts in bringing their students closer to
Christ. Please keep them in your prayers throughout this
school year.
WE NEED YOUR EXTRA ROSARIES!
Holy Rosary Sunday
Sunday October 9th
In just a few weeks, we will be celebrating Holy Rosary
Sunday and we want to share the beautiful gift of the
Rosary with those who have not discovered or embraced
this beautiful prayer to Jesus through Mary. It begins
with having a rosary! So, we want to collect as many rosaries as we can to distribute on Holy Rosary Sunday.
Please check your closets, your desks, your nightstands,
your special places and see if there is an extra rosary that
would be a beautiful gift for someone who has no rosary.
Please drop off your rosaries in the basket at the entrance
to the church or to the parish office. Thank you for helping us to share the beautiful gift of the Rosary with others

Lectio Divina

Ministerio Hispano
SOMOS RESPONSABLES POR LOS DEMÁS
El Concilio Vaticano II nos ha llamado a imaginar la Iglesia
como el pueblo de Dios. Como una comunidad de creyentes
somos responsables por nuestros hermanos, por su salvación,
su peregrinar en la fe, su bienestar físico. Muchos de los documentos del Concilio y volúmenes de trabajos desde mediados
de la década del 60 nos dan consejos, guías y ánimo para ayudarnos unos a otros: a los pobres, a los ancianos, a los no nacidos, a los quebrantados, a los enfermos.
Porque el Concilio Vaticano II es parte de nuestra reciente
historia –sin duda muchos de nosotros ya habíamos nacido–
esto nos puede parecer una idea nueva y revolucionaria. Pero
las lecturas de hoy nos muestran que las enseñanzas sobre
justicia social han existido siempre. Ochocientos años antes de
nacer Cristo, Amós advirtió a los ricos que no engañaran a los
pobres. En la primera carta de Pablo a Timoteo, él insiste en
que todas las oraciones sean por todos; y finalmente, el Evangelio enfatiza la importancia de usar sabiamente el dinero.
Lecturas de Hoy
Primera lectura —
El Señor nunca se olvida del pecado de los que hacen
trampa a los pobres y abusan de ellos
(Amós 8:4-7).
Salmo —
Que alaben al Señor todos sus siervos
(Salmo 113 [112]).
Segunda lectura —
Reza al Señor, que quiere que todos se salven
(1 Timoteo 2:1-8).
Evangelio —
Sé responsable en todo. No pueden
ustedes servir a Dios y al dinero
(Lucas 16:1-13).

Faith Formation
Faith Formation is a vital element of every Catholic
parish. The role of parish faith formation is to provide
organized and systematic approach to the instruction
and practice of the faith for everyone in the parish
community. The goal of this formation is to give each
member an understanding of their faith so they can
evangelize and witness to the faith in the greater secular community. The programs offered at Saint Joseph’s Cathedral parish reflect the diversity of an urban Southern California parish.
In addition to the weekly catechetical program special
events and speakers are presented throughout the
parish’s pastoral year.
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)
RCIA an Invitation for everyone
to Community in Christ.
At St. Joseph Cathedral’s parish community we believe that everyone has an invitation to join the RCIA
process. The RCIA’s invitation is for those individuals who have not been baptized and wish to enter into
a relationship with Jesus Christ in the Roman Catholic
Faith Community. The invitation is for those from
other Christian Faith communities who wish to become members of the Roman Catholic Church.
Catholics who have not completed the sacraments of
Confirmation and Eucharist will find the invitation is
for them to complete those sacraments. Catholics
who have not been active in their faith and wish to
return to an active sacramental relationship with the
faith community will find the RCIA a place to have
that journey. Also, Catholics who wish to renew their
faith by refreshing their knowledge of the church’s
teaching are most welcome.
Evangelization and Catechesis are the hallmarks of the
RCIA at St. Joseph Cathedral. For more information
write Bill Bischoff at RCIA@sdcathedral.org or call
the Parish Office.

a godparent for a baptism at another parish, please
