This May 21st I celebrate 30 years as a priest of Jesus Christ! Next weekend I ask you to help celebrate this milestone (NOT mill stone). It is also 10 years as your Pastor. I have never regrated this call or my vocation. The Lord has been way too gracious to me. Still, I know He has blessed me to be his instrument in bringing souls closer to Him. The celebration of the Sacraments—most especially The Holy Mass—has been a privilege and a joy! My 10 years with you have been an honor. So many great people doing good thing for the Lord. We are a wonderful little, happy, and generous parish. So, thank you for making St. Joseph church a shining star in Richmond and beyond.

It is also Mother’s day today! So, Happy Mother’s Day! May all our Mothers who are now gone, there among us, and goon to be, be blessed and filled with contentment and love. Thank to my mom, now 87, and to all mother who love us, pray for us, and even challenge us. Blessing on you all!
