from the desk of FR Russell(April 18, 2021)

As we rejoice in the Paschal Mysteries and our patron St. Joseph, we offer gratitude for the grace and protection we have received through this difficult year. We have a little while longer

to remain vigilant. The children seem to "get it". "Why do we wear masks?" they are asked. "To protect ourselves and protect others" they answer in various ways. May the Lord deliver us from losing all hope in those who serve us at any level, civil or religious. We have brought problems and doubts upon ourselves, but we must persevere in the grace God gives us and gives those who serve us, whatever their faults. Those who have dedicated much of their lives and time as well in gaining the knowledge they need to guide us should at least be listened to with respect by us who have not. We must discern, of course, but it should be with humility. May God give us the grace to persevere in respecting the proper authorities and respecting our neighbor as we, within reason and what is possible, see to everyone's health and well being. Thank you for your sacrifices, discernment, justice, and obedience in this "Year of St. Joseph".

In Christ, son of Mary
