St. Joseph Parish Annual Concert
Sunday, October 14th at 2pm
The music ministry invites you to join us on Sunday afternoon, October 14, 2018, at 2pm in the upper church, for our St. Joseph Parish Annual Concert. Both our Adult and Youth Choirs and The Messengers (our young adult music group) will perform, and there will be an opportunity for the audience to join with us in singing!
This year's program, entitled, "Building Bridges”, is being dedicated to Prayer for Unity…in our communities and in the world…, and will once again consist of a varied program of sacred, classical and popular selections. A portion of the proceeds from our concert ad book will be donated to “UnityWorks” Foundation, a national 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote understanding of the oneness of humanity, the value of diversity, and the need for unity - with a focus on education and schools.
There will be a luncheon in the social center following the concert, catered by Carroll's Restaurant in Medford (kindness of parishioner, Attorney Victor Garo).
Please note: when you arrive for the concert, you will receive a voucher which will enable you to attend the luncheon.
We urge you to take this opportunity to come and join our choirs and instrumentalists in a prayerful and playful musical celebration! For more information, please email Betsy at stjosephmusic@msn.com or call 781-781-396-0423 x125 (office) or 617-335-8155 (cell).

Collaborative Prayer
Merciful Father,
We thank You for sending us Your Son and for the countless blessings you have bestowed upon St. Joseph and St. Francis of Assisi Parishes.
With gratitude for our Catholic Faith we look toward the future with hope. Impress upon our hearts and minds Your will for our two great parishes, for Your plan is far more beautiful than anything we could imagine. Breathe new life into our ministries and inspire creative and bold initiatives. Like St. Peter, may we have the courage to “put out into the deep” (Luke 5:4).
May each parish become stronger as a result of our collaboration. Deepen and strengthen the bonds of friendship within and between our communities as together we live and proclaim the joy of the Gospel.
Gracious Father, send Your Spirit of Peace upon our homes, our parishes and our city. We trust in the powerful intercession of our Blessed Mother, Mary, and our patrons, Saints Joseph and Francis as we pray:
For those who founded and built our parishes so many years ago, and for those who have supported and maintained our parishes through the years, that they be rewarded for passing on to us the Catholic faith and our parish churches.
That we, too, may pass on to the next generation the gift of our Catholic faith and two beautiful churches who work together for the glory of God and service to His people.
We ask these things through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
