Parish Life at St. Joseph the Worker

A couple of weeks ago I was at a national gathering of US Catholic Priests. We had a cardinal from Rome and another from DC.  There were two other bishops there as well as about 225 priests.

We are approaching the end of our fiscal year with the end of June. You have been generous in supporting the parish fiscally and also with all of the ministries we offer.

This weekend we welcome Sr. Lucia Benedict for our annual Archdiocesan Missionary Appeal. While our Commitment to Parish Like means what we do within our parish it also means what we do within our universal church and in our daily lives within our communities.

As a parish we have been Committed to Parish Life for many years.  That represents the many ministries we offer in the parish for families and individuals.

One of the things that gives me special delight every weekend is watching our young children come forward at offertory time to put money into the collection basket.
