Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of St. Joseph, a saint of great significance for our Congregation and many others.

St. Joseph is a good role model for us all, said our Fr. Joe Bathke, C.PP.S., “because he was able to hold in his heart things that were difficult without allowing them to destroy him or the people he loved.”

That requires wisdom, and patience. “In our world today, we find it hard to have a conversation with people, to just listen to what they have to say, without trying to bury them with our own opinions,” he said. “Joseph, I think, would be a good example of someone who held things in his heart. He’s a good example for how we can navigate the challenges of the world today.”

Fr. Joe said he likes to think about the holy family making its way through life the same way we do, one day at a time: “Joseph and Mary weren’t given any special gifts other than what they naturally had. Through their own faith, they put one foot in front of the other and trusted that everything was going to work out.”

In Communion and in Covenant

By Fr. Jeffrey Kirch, C.PP.S.   Now that we are well on our way in the season of Lent, I am sure each of us has made some Lenten resolutions. Maybe you gave up chocolate or social media. Maybe you promised to watch less television and to pray more. And I’m sure that...

A Merciful and Gracious God

By Fr. Joe Uecker, C.PP.S.  While Lent is a time to consider our sinfulness, it is also a time to ponder the graciousness of God. The Responsorial Psalm for the First Sunday of Lent sets the tone for the entire season. It is one of the most familiar biblical prayers...
