President's Message for July
|
|
|
For the Saint Joseph Men’s Ministry (SJMM), there was no let up in activity from a busy Spring. With the start of June, if we weren’t BBQing for some event, we were directing parking at another. I think we need to develop a new skill set. Nearly every week had something going on. St. Joseph Mission San Jose is a busy, active, vibrant place.
|
June activities that the SJMM served or participated in are, Fr. Anthony’s 10-year anniversary of his ordination – June 7, Mission Days – June 14-15, a Day of Recollection – June 21, and a ministry heads Meet ‘n Greet with the new pastor – June 25. The rest of June winds up with a Diaconate Ordination and a Movie Night fund raiser supporting Confirmation students, both on Saturday, June 28.
|
The SJMM was honored in June by having three of the board members lead the procession of the clergy featuring Bishop Barber before and after the June 14 5:30 Mission Days Mass bearing the original Mission silver crucifix and candle holders. Truly something special. The SJMM was further honored by inclusion in the fund raising/appreciation dinner after Mass.
|
As tensions in our world and our cities fray into confrontation, violence, war, it is a time for us to come together, pray to God for peace and for one another.

|
|
|
On June 14th. 2025, our community celebrated the 228th Anniversary of Mission San Jose.It is also the 40th. anniversary since the dedication after it's restoration.
|
The day was marked with a blessing of the St. Joseph Chapel of Healing followed by a mass in the Mission celebrated by Bishop Michael C. Barber . The celebration also featured a Fundraiser Dinner in our Parish Hall. Three Men from our Ministry processed at the start of the Mass with the historic Silver Crucifix and candlesticks. These are on display in the Mission Museum and only used during special celebrations. The three men carrying the silver were Steve Radigian, Jerome Hubacek, and Tom Leen.

We join and congratulate our Community on another anniversary.
