Sisters and brothers. I want to wish you a better New Year than the last year was. Ugly for all of us with the radical change in our lives. Ugh. I cannot wait until we can all be reunited once again in the worship space.
We have ended the calendar year and I want to thank you for your constant faithfulness to St. Joseph. As a result we have been able to retain all of our staff (some left for a different job), pay all of our bills, buy new things to combat the virus, and done some fix and repair jobs. We are still dong OK, which cannot be said for many parishes in the Archdiocese. Your constancy in supporting us has made this possible for us. Interesting for me is that the staff has found ministering in new ways to be fun and most interesting. So I simply want to encourage you to keep up the very good work. Your faith in God and in us as a staff is noticed and appreciated. Fr. Mike
