Scripture Verse
""Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the
branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing." -
Jn 15:4-5

From the Pastor
My Dear People,
This Tuesday, May 1st, we celebrate St. Joseph the Worker, in the Catholic Church. This is a great time to call to mind St. Joseph as our patron saint of our parish. This parish has pride in being a parish of workers. Below is a prayer that I suggest we pray for each other. Please enjoy the day as we celebrate our patron saint. Thank you for all your work in building up God’s Kingdom! God Bless, Fr. Pins Glorious St. Joseph, Model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my many sins; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, prudence and patience, never surrendering to weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my motto in life and death. Amen.
