Year of St. Joseph
ST. JOSEPH
The Year of
December 8, 2020 - December 8, 2021
Saint Joseph, patron saint of the unexpected,
How freely you stepped into the unknown.
With your unwavering yes,
Saint Joseph, dreamer of dreams,
How attuned your heart was, waking and sleeping,
To the promptings of angels.
Saint Joseph, nurturing father,
How openly you accepted your unconventional family,
Lighting the way for us, too, to embrace all.
Saint Joseph, there is still so much we don't know about you,
But maybe that is your gift to us,
That we may see in the father of Jesus a mystery
That sanctifies the hidden and untold in our own lives.
May we too, live our days in the holy shadow of your son. Amen.

SYNODAL PRAYER
Holy Spirit, we are gathered in the name of Jesus. As his gift to us, guide us; make Yourself at home in our hearts, our homes and churches. You who fill the world, Holy Spirit, fill our minds and hearts. Show us the way you desire to renew the Church and give us courage to walk it. Let us find our way to harmony and unity, truth and
self-knowledge. May we run the way together to a renewed and relevant church in the world and to eternal life.
Lenten Food Drive
Updates 3/10: The response thus far has been overwhelming! We eclipsed our original plan of 500 pounds of food in ONE HOUR!
4/6: 1950 pounds! We are so close to the 2,000 pound benchmark! Thank you so much!
FINAL UPDATE 4/15: WE DID IT! We are ecstatic to report that we eclipsed the ONE TON mark for food at the end of the collection. Initially, we set out to collect 500 pounds of food, but collected 4X that weight (a total of 2,002 pounds). Thank you for your support of this worthy cause!
Greg Pine Talk
IS HAPPINESS
EVEN POSSIBLE?
The Lord seems to promise us an abundant life if we follow after Him. And yet, the lives of Christians seem equally difficult and sad as the lives of their non-Christian contemporaries. So, what's the difference? Why bother with the Gospel?
In this talk, Fr. Gregory Pine will explore the question of human happiness and describe the role played by choice and prudence in securing it.
THURSDAY,
JULY 14 | 7-8:00pm
OLDE CHURCH
135 S. Sycamore Street, Newtown, Pa., 18940

SMALL FAITH GROUP
Small Groups offer an excellent opportunity to connect with other parishioners while enriching our faith. Those involved in small groups consistently cite a greater feeling of community and better clarity in what it means to live out their faith daily. The meeting format for these meetings will consist of reflection on the coming Sunday’s Gospel, faith sharing, and praying the rosary.
MEN’S GROUP
Meets every other Saturday at the Olde Church from 7–9:00am. For more information, please click on the Men's Group Button to contact Ron Duchesneau.
WOMEN’S GROUP
We are excited to start a new group for adult women who want to deepen their spiritual lives while connecting to other women. Meetings will be every other Saturday at St. Michael’s Room (lower level at the Rectory), from 7–8:30am. For more information, please click on the Women's Group Button to contact Jennifer Stewart.
RCIA GROUP
This group is for those who went through the RCIA program and wish to continue their faith journey in a supportive environment. Meetings are on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month from 7–8:30pm in the Lower Level of the Olde Church. For more information, please click on the RCIA SFG Button to contact Joel Kern.
A Small Faith Group at Saint Andrew is where our large church gets small. We meet to discuss faith, explore our spiritual growth, and support one another in our relationship with Christ. This is the place to care for others and be cared for; a home to impact our community and the world. Small Faith Groups are a great place to explore, ask questions, and grow. Everyone Can Be in a Group! So join a Small Faith Group and begin growing in your relationship with God.
