St. Elizabeth Ann Seton middle school students enjoyed a day of praise music with Nashville musician PJ Anderson plus other faith-filled activities during their school-wide retreat. Thank you to all those who planned this day of reflection, prayer and joy as we prepare for Easter.
Senior Cookout
On this feast of St. Joseph, the seniors enjoyed a special cookout AND a dispensation from the Lenten fast from meat. It was a glorious day of grilled eats, sunshine and friendships.
St. Joseph Day
On St. Joseph Day, students wore red and sought the intercessions of Saint Joseph during this Year of St. Joseph as declared by Pope Francis.
Food Pantry Restock
Students at Immaculate Conception Elementary took the opportunity of the St. Joseph feast day to restock our parish food pantry. Thank you to everyone who contributed to support our community.
Joseph’s spiritual path “is not one that explains, but accepts” — which does not mean that he is “resigned.” Instead, he is “courageously and firmly proactive,” because with “Holy Spirit’s gift of fortitude,” and full of hope, he is able “to accept life as it is, with all its contradictions, frustrations and disappointments.” – Vatican News
