St. Joseph, Our Patron
The feast of St. Joseph is a joyful celebration in the Church and also for us. St. Jeanne Jugan was deeply devoted to St. Joseph; entrusting him to take care of all of her needs. If you think about it, their lives were quite similarly ‘hidden’ while watching over God’s most precious gifts. St. Joseph was entrusted to care for God’s beloved Son and St. Jeanne Jugan was entrusted to care for God’s beloved elderly.
Since the Feast of St. Joseph (March 19) fell on a Sunday during Lent this year, the Solemnity was celebrated on Monday, March 20. We were honored to have His Excellency Bishop David J. Malloy celebrate Mass for us in our Chapel.
Our dietary staff prepared a delicious meal that was served after Mass. To the delight of everyone, a traditional St. Joseph Table was set up in each dining room filled with endless assortments of sweets! Bishop Malloy went to each dining room greeting our Residents and blessing each table.
It was a joyous day, celebrating a joyous saint! St. Joseph, Pillar of Families, Pray for us.
St. Joseph, Our Patron
