Pope Francis has now requested the entire theCatholic Church celebrate a year of honoring St. Joseph as well, so the year will continue through December 8, 2021.To you, St. Joseph, we bring all the fears and anxieties that weighs us down.This pandemic has attacked God's people bringing much illness, sorrow and death.We ask you, dearest St. Joseph, to be our guide along this very dark path, for youare the model of faith, courage and fidelity that we need so desperately.May the Lord send forth the purifying fire of the Holy Spirit, to end this outbreak ofdisease and renew the hearts of the faithful. Guide us to the ImmaculateHeart of Mary, your beloved bride, and to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the hope of allhumanity. O St. Joseph, pray ceaselessly for us during this time of suffering, fearand great mourning. May this current pain inflicted upon mankind be transformedby the power of Christ's cross and lead to a new springtime of hope and devotion.Amen.Pedro de la CruzeThis “Year of St. Joseph” also coincides to commemorate the 150th anniversary ofSt. Joseph being solemnly declared Patron of the Catholic Church by Pope Pius IX in hisdecree Quemadmodum Deus.Live Jesus Forever and Ever Amen!

JUNE 27, 2021Page 8Parish Office and Chapelare closed onFriday, July 2thandMonday, July 5thIndependence DayHolidayAdopt a Senior OblateThe Adopt a Senior Oblate programwas born out of a great need thatarose during the pandemic. Withmany Oblate priests and brothersaging, serious measures were takento protect them at our retirementhome in Childs, MD. Strict quarantineprocesses were implemented, and novisitors were permitted. We are blessedthat no one in the Oblate communitycontracted the virus. The unfortunate effect, that continues duringthe transition phase, is that our older priests and brothers remain isolated, lonely, and feeling cut offfrom the world.Adopt a Senior Oblate helps thesemen by providing them with directoutside contact. You can be the onein the "outside world" supportingthem and be the someone specialwhom an Oblate priest or brotherprays for each day. This offers theretired men a greater sense of purpose as they feel they are contributing in a meaningful way to someone'slife.The added benefit for the Oblates isthat program fees help meet thecost of senior care and medical ex-penses. These have been a strugglebecause of effects the pandemic hashad on the economy and the downturn in charitable giving.Perhaps a former teacher or parishpriest? Once we receive your Adopta Senior Oblate enrollment, we willsend you a biography of your adopted Oblate. You will also receive contact information so you can send a personal card or note to him, along with anyintentions you wish for him to pray.For questionsormore information,please send inquiries toinfo@oblates.orgorcall Brother Bob at410-398-3057.In gratitude for your faith and friendship, your adopted Oblate will prayfor you each day for a year, at dailymass, and prayers of the community, as well as during his privateprayer devotions.You can choose a retired Oblate already living at Childs or from one ofour residences around the province.
