News and Events: Beginning of Lent

It has been too long since I've written anything on our Blog.  I really can't think of a reason why I stopped writing about the News and Events of the Sisters of St. Joseph the Worker.  We have had all sorts of events and news to share.  But I got out of the habit of writing about them.  So this Lent I will attempt to get back to regularly sharing news, events, and stories about the Sisters of St. Joseph the Worker.

Of course, Lent means Fish Fry on Fridays at St. Joseph Academy. Our first fish fry did very well.  Thanks to everyone who came out to support St. Joseph Academy.  And also a big thank you to all the volunteers.  Without the help of the parents, teachers, staff and volunteers we could never serve such a delicious meal.  It takes many hands to set up, cook, serve, and clean up.

After you eat the delicious meal on Friday, you can attend the Stations of the Cross at All Saints Parish at 7:00 pm. The Stations of the Cross is a wonderful devotion. The stations remind us that God loves each of us so much that He sent Jesus to redeem us.   It helps us to keep in mind that Lent is just not something we have to put up with for 40 days. Lent is a 40 day retreat that draws us closer and closer to God. I hope to see you at the Fish Fry and at the Stations of the Cross this Friday.  May you have a blessed and grace-filled Lent.
