August 12Small Discipleship Groups are forming NOW! Following Jesus' example in the Gospels, and in response to the desires/needs expressed by the teens of St. Joseph Marello, Discipleship Groups (aka D-Groups) gather small groups of high school teens (about 5-8 teens per group) with an adult mentor or two to journey together in faith. Small groups have flexibility on when and how often they meet, so it works with busy schedules. Each group forms a small community where you can belong, where it's safe to be yourself, ask questions, share joys and successes, and participate in an apprenticeship in the Christian life. This isn't just another program. Click for more information/to sign-up!Read More

You are not alone!
Dear Parishioners of St. Joseph Marello,
We like to think of summer as being a relaxing, enjoyable time. But hurts, struggles, crises, and problems don’t take a vacation and neither has the COVID-19 virus. Many times our difficulties seem even worse during the summer because everyone else seems to be enjoying life while you are feeling down. If you are experiencing a difficult time—emotionally, spiritually, physically, or relationally—you don’t have to suffer alone. Our St. Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers, ready to listen, care for and encourage you, pray with and for you, and provide one-to-one Christian care to help you through whatever it is that you are facing. Men are matched with male St. Stephen Ministers, and women are matched with female St. Stephen Ministers. It’s free. It’s confidential. And it will make a difference in your life!
To find out more about St. Stephen Ministry for you or someone you know, talk with one of our Stephen Ministry Leaders:
Darlene McClure at 916-316-1816
Yvonne Von Brauchitsch at 916-764-1076Please feel free to contact us with any questions via email: sjmststephenministry@gmail.com
Yours in Christ,
St. Stephen Ministry Leaders

USCCB - forming consciences
The upcoming election offers Catholics a valuable chance to consider how the insights of Catholic teaching can be applied to the priority issues of our society. In Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, the bishops call us to spend some time reflecting on whether we are properly forming our consciences in accord with right reason and the teaching of the Catholic Church.
See below for a great summary of four key areas that are critical in forming good consciences.
