Parish Life at St. Joseph the Worker

Many times I get a phone call from Hospice or a family member asking me to anoint someone who is approaching death.

The staff and I have been talking about how we see all of our activity as living the discipleship call to be Christ to others.

We were doing so good, and then Christmas fell on a Sunday. Through Advent, we were where we hoped to be financially. With Christmas falling on a Sunday this year, it meant one less weekend in the year.

Our Christmas celebrations were delightful. So many people came and we were reunited for a brief time.

This year for Christmas we shared “Blessing boxes” for families.
