Pope Francis proclaims 2021 Year of St Joseph: Pope Francis announced a Year of St Joseph in honor of the 150th anniversary of the saint's proclamation as patron of the Universal Church. The year begins December 8, 2020 and concludes December 8, 2021, according to a decree authorized by the Pope. The decree said that Francis had established a Year of St Joseph so that "every member of the faithful, following his example, may strengthen their life of faith daily in the complete fulfillment of God's will." It added that the pope had granted special indulgences to mark the year. See clips of the decree in the 'From Fr. Ty' section. ***Also, for daily prayers to St. Joseph --see below in area just below watch mass on tv***.
A Lenten Mini Retreat on St. Joseph: Would you like to know more about St. Joseph? Would you like to learn to imitate his virtues? Are you longing to become a more virtuous person? This Lenten mini retreat may be just what you are looking for! You are invited to attend a 5 week Lenten mini retreat beginning Tuesday, February 23rd and ending March 23rd at St Stephen Catholic Church from 7-8:15 pm (immediately following 6:30 pm Mass*) The retreat will be directed by Pat Crane, MED, MAPM. With a recent apostolic letter, Pope Francis, reflected on Joseph as "Patron of the Universal Church" on the 150th anniversary of Pope Pius IX giving him this title. To celebrate this anniversary, Pope Francis has proclaimed a special "Year of St. Joseph" beginning December 8, 2020 and ending at this same date in 2021. Can't commit to 5 weeks. Don't worry. The classes will be arranged so that each one is a fresh start & you won't feel behind. The retreat will conclude with a Consecration to St Joseph with the guidance of the book, Consecration to St. Joseph, The Wonders of our Spiritual Father, by Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC. This book can be purchased for $15.00 at the first class and will be utilized throughout the 5 weeks. If you are seriously interested in adding some deeper prayer to your Lenten season, please pre-register by calling Pat Crane 231-826-3326 as soon as possible so that an adequate number of books & other materials may be ordered.
WEEKLY OFFERTORY ENVELOPES:
If you are planning on going away for the winter....We ask that you take your envelopes with you & continue to support your parish. With the Covid 19 Pandemic and lockdown, and many parishioners being in quarantine, it has been a difficult financial year. We are thankful to the parishioners that continue to send in their collection envelopes, but there are many that have not. Winter is upon us and the expenses can double or triple. Please do all you can to help support your parish.
Offertory envelopes may be dropped off at the parish office or mailed to St Hubert Church, P.O. Box 75, Higgins Lake, MI 48627.
2020 Contribution Statements: Another year has come & gone and all of the 2020 contribution envelopes have now been posted. We have found that most people do not need or want a contribution statement. If you are able to use a statement for tax purposes, contact the parish office by dropping a note in the collection basket or calling 989-821-5591 and we will mail your statement to you.
***Extending the Dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays & Holy Days of obligation for the people in the Diocese of Gaylord--UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. See full letter from Most Reverend Bishop Walter A. Hurley on the Dispensation just below the November calendar and From the Desk of Fr. Ty.
Excerpt from the Bishops' letter: "The granting of this dispensation is not meant to be a reason to absent oneself from Mass. Without a dispensation, many would be excused from this obligation because of age, health or other family situations or issues. Conscience will always need to be our guide. If you are able to do so, I invite you to come back to the parish celebrations. Whether we are able to attend or not, we all have a serious obligation to "Keep holy the sabbath day." If you are not able to attend Mass, I ask that you set aside time for prayer, not only for everyday but especially on Sunday. While not a substitute for Mass attendance, the various "virtual Masses" can be useful in focusing our prayer and our union with all our brothers and sisters. The recitation of the rosary, other devotions, visits to the Blessed Sacrament at the church or chapel, and Scripture or other reading can all be helpful."
***Protocols to follow***
** General Dispensation from Sunday obligation Extended until and including the feast of Christ the King, Sunday, November 22, 2020.

Those who wish to attend Mass may do so, on Sunday or any weekday, thus fulfilling their obligation.

***Daily Prayers to St. Joseph for the week of January 25th through 31st***;
January 25th: Joseph, of royal blood, united by marriage to the greatest & holiest of women, reputed the father of the Son of God, passed his life in labor, and won by the toil of the artisan the needful support of his family. --Pope Leo XIII Blessed Marie Cassin, pray for us!
January 26th: In our time Our Lady has helped us comprehend & love her dear & chaste husband, St. Joseph. She has told us of the mystery surrounding him & of his greatness. She has let us know something of her love for St. Joseph, that most lovable saint who for years held the Word made flesh in his arms. --Blessed Gabriele Allegra Blessed Gabriele Allegra, pray for us!
January 27th: Would that I could persuade all men to foster devotion to this glorious saint {Joseph} because of the singular proof that I have of the many favors he obtains for us of God. --St Teresa of Avila Blessed George Matulaitis, pray for us!
January 28th: According to {St.} Jerome & Origen, Joseph had no suspicion of adultery because he knew the modesty & chastity of Mary. Moreover, he had read in Scripture that the virgin would conceive and that "a shoot shall sprout from the stock of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom." He knew also that Mary was descended from the line of David. Thus it was easier for him to believe that Isaiah's prophecy had been accomplished in her than to think that she could have let herself descend into debauchery. This is why, considering himself unworthy to live with a person of such great sanctity, he wanted to send her away secretly -- like when Peter says to Jesus, "Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!". --St Thomas Aquinas St Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!
January 29th: Saint Joseph desired nothing, wanted nothing that was not for the greater glory of God. --St Joseph Marello Blessed Michal Kozal, pray for us!
January 30th: If it is true that the Blessed Virgin is the keeper of all heavenly graces, that her love for the elect is the source of their glory & happiness, what must be the glory of St. Joseph whom she was obliged to love above all the saints, just as a good wife must love her husband above all men. Meditate on this. --Blessed William Joseph Chaminade Blessed Boleslava Lament, pray for us!
January 31st: There are many saints to whom God has given the power to assist us in the necessities of life, but the power given to St Joseph is unlimited: It extends to all our needs, and all those who invoke him with confidence, are sure to be heard. --St Thomas Aquinas St John Bosco, pray for us!
Ministry of Consolation (MOC). St Hubert and St James offer a grief support group sessions. Sessions run for six weeks. Anyone who wants to attend, please call the parish office at 989-821-5591. This way we will have enough supplies on hand and let you know when our new sessions will start again.
