“After all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been
baptized and was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirt
descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove.” Luke 3:21
Our stewardship journey begins in the waters of baptism. It is through
the waters of baptism that we are given a new life and become
disciples of Jesus. As Jesus’ disciples, we are called to build the
kingdom of God with the gifts God has given us.
Have you remembered St. Joseph in your will?

The Baptism of the Lord
Is 42:1-4, 6-7 or Is 40:1-5, 9-11; Ps 29:1-2, 3-4, 3, 9-10 or Ps 104:1b-2, 3-4, 24-25, 27-28, 29-30; Acts 10:34-38 or Ti 2:11-14; 3:4-7;
The people were filled with expectation… Luke 3:15
That’s us. We’re those people still filled with expectation there on
the riverbank. When I go to Mass, that’s what I sense. Even as I
focus on the Lord and His presence at that moment, I can’t help but
glance around me from time to time, wondering and thankful. Look
at all of us gathered here: so different, on journeys varied and
winding, but journeys that brought each of us to this same place.
But here we are, bringing with us contentment, concern, hope,
despair, trust, and questions. We have so much, but we know more
awaits us: more love, more life, more mercy, more light, We’ve
heard that this is the place where it just might be shining, and so
here we are.
Jesus, in You, my hopes are fulfilled.

St. Joseph Church ~ Bardstown KY January 13, 2019
The Baptism of the Lord
Parking lot renovations are coming! Much has been done on designing the parking lot for church: 1) new entrance 2) increased parking spaces 3) lighting 4) resurfacing the current lot and new striping for lanes 5) additional driveway for school children pick-up, funeral procession with Hearse and family cars, and closer
handicap spaces 6) new landscaping
The Parish Pastoral Council reviewed the proposal six months ago and supported it, and the Parish Finance Council was apprized. They have been awaiting final drawings and costs.
The Tree committee for the 200th Anniversary Year recommended the removal of the current Aristocratic Pear Trees which have nearly reached their expected life-span and replace them with native species, which will not hide the view of our church from the Fifth Street side. The Historical Review Board has approved. The Board encouraged our plan to plant 200 trees on our campus and in the cemetery. Thirty-eight have already been planted at school.
When I first arrived, Fr. Hammer relayed to me the idea for the new entrance which addresses the long-time concern of safety, as well as, ease of getting in and out of our parking lot. There were no drawings at that time. It is good that we address the increased truck traffic on Stephen Foster Avenue and dangers posed to people parking there. These improvements will give us greater safety and ease of parking.
Drawings will be coming soon, in church, and the Parish Pastoral Council wants to address your questions at Town Hall meetings on the weekend of January 12th and 13th. Lots of expertise and thought has gone into this design.
We hope you share our enthusiasm for this project.
