Saint Joseph
Prayer to Saint Joseph by Pope Leo XIII
Saint Joseph, Powerful Patron of the Holy Catholic Church
To be recited after praying the Holy Rosary
To thee, O Blessed Joseph, we fly in our tribulation and after imploring the help of thy holy Spouse, with confidence we ask also for thy intercession. By the affection which united thee to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by the paternal love with which thou didst embrace the Child Jesus, we beseech thee to look kindly upon the inheritance which Jesus Christ acquired by His Precious Blood, and with thy powerful aid to help us in our needs.
Protect, most careful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen people of Jesus Christ. Keep us, loving father, from all pestilence of error and corruption. From thy place in heaven be thou mercifully with us, most powerful protector, in this warfare with the powers of darkness and, as thou didst once rescue the Child Jesus from imminent danger of death, so now defend the Holy Church of God from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity. Guard each of us by thy constant patronage, so that, sustained by thy example and help, we may live a holy life, die a holy death, and obtain the everlasting happiness of heaven.
Amen
Prescribed by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII,
after the recitation of the Holy Rosary

2021 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL
PERSEVERING IN HOPE
Please support our Annual Catholic Appeal. Through the Annual Catholic Appeal, parishes across the Diocese of Tucson come together to support ministries, programs, and works of charity that are an outward sign of the unseen virtues of faith, hope, and mercy.
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Romans 12:12
Annual Catholic Appeal Prayer
God, whose love is never-ending,
You care for us in all ways and at all times.
Bless us with the understanding that
everything we have is a gift from You.
You call us to be stewards of your abundance,
the caretakers of all you have entrusted to us.
Help us to always use your gifts wisely,
Teach us to share them generously.
Send your Holy Spirit to work through us,
bringing your message to those we serve.
May our faithful stewardship
through the Annual Catholic Appeal
bear witness to your enduring love of all creation.
May Mary, Mother of God, be with us
to inspire, guide and protect us.
Oh, Holy Blessed Mother, pray for us.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.

2021 Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA)
Greetings Brothers and Sisters in Christ. The 2021 Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) kicks off next week. This year’s ACA theme is PERSEVERING IN HOPE. The ACA offers us the opportunity to thank Our Lord in return for all we have been given, by supporting vital ministries and programs, and continuing the Gospel message. ACA is a source of hope and charity to those in need and the future of our Church.
As most of you know, the ACA provides critical financial support to offset the rising costs of education for seminarians currently in our formation to serve as priests in our Diocese (currently about $40,000 a year per seminarian). Your contribution empowers those who serve in ministry to share the joy of the Gospel with others; it encourages and invites vocations to the priesthood and religious life; it engages and welcomes youth and young adults to participate AND STAY connected to our faith; it prepares teachers of religious education who support parents in passing on the faith to their children; it promotes the sanctity and dignity of all human life from conception to natural death; and it reaches out to the littlest and weakest among us through the programs of Catholic Community Services.
Your gifts and pledges directly impact OUR community by helping provide meals to the needy, Masses and Communion service for residents in nursing homes, hospices and other facilities. None of the Annual Appeal funds are used for legal fees or settlements related to the clergy abuse crisis.
As a direct result of your prayers, generosity, and stewardship, Our Lady of Lourdes exceeded our Parish goal in 2020. This speaks volumes when considering the turbulent and uncertain times we lived through as the COVID 19 pandemic plagued our community, state, and nation last year.
We ask you to please make your sacrificial commitment to the 2021 Annual Catholic Appeal as soon as possible. This year the Diocese is asking that everyone make their gift or pledge by May 31, 2021. This doesn’t mean that your entire pledge must be paid by then, we’re just asking that you make your pledge by that date. Bishop Weisenburger is counting on the support of every parish family to meet our Parish goal. Your gift DOES make a difference. We don’t want you to give until it hurts; we want you to give until it FEELS GOOD!
Here’s how to make your pledge or one-time gift.
1. Onetime Gifts: You pay the entire gift upfront. If you choose to pay by check, please make your check payable to Annual Catholic Appeal—and write Our Lady of Lourdes in the memo line. You can use the envelopes in the pews or entrance of the Church (as soon as our Church reopens) and drop them in the collection basket at Mass.
2. Monthly pledge—pledging a gift and making payments throughout the year, either by credit card or check. You can use your Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express.
3. Electronic Fund Transfer, or EFT, from your checking or savings account. THIS IS THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GIVE. You can automatically give every month. Calculate your monthly payment by knowing that the last deduction will be taken in December 2021.
4. Stock donation or IRA Rollover.
5. Complete the donation form mailed to your home.
6. Text ACA to 41444 and complete the donation form through MobileCause.
7. Using the secure donation form online at: www.cathfind.org/donate
8. Call the Annual Catholic Appeal office in Tucson at 520.838.2504.
9. Call our Parish Office for more information at 520.586.3394.
If you can only give cash, please place your contribution in the ACA envelope (or any white envelope with ACA written on the outside) and drop it in the collection basket at Mass and we will process it.
· Annual Catholic Appeal funds ARE NOT USED to offset capital expenses, uncollectible debt, depreciation, repayment of loans, or legal services.
· Donor information provided to the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Tucson is not shared with other organizations.
Thank you and God Bless all of you.
Mark Maedge & Father Martin Atanga
