Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man. Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen ~excerpt from Pope Francis's Apostolic Letter Patris Corde ("With a Father's Heart") Thank You from Father DickWe have finally moved beyond 2020. We move ahead into 2021 with renewed hope and joy that the Lord is with us and will guide us through the remainder of this Pandemic. Christmas was not a usual one for us as families and as church communities. However, I have been blessed with being part of Saint Joseph Parish. So many of you have sent inspiring Christmas cards, prayers and gifts that have lifted up my spirits and helped me count my blessings in life. Thank you very much for your prayerful support. May the Lord bless all of you with a happy, healthy and blessed New Year 2021. ~Fr. Dick
