NOTES FROM THE PASTOR

When Father Rommel asked Monica and me to head up this year's St Joseph’s Altar, I knew that it was God calling me back to my childhood roots. My mother, Patricia Fazzio Broussard, had such a devotion to St. Joseph. Ever since I was a child I thought everyone did the same things I did in the weeks leading up to March 19th...making cookies with aunts, uncles, and cousins and preparing for a St. Joseph Altar. My mother started her St. Joseph Altar in 1975 after her fervent prayers to St. Joseph were answered. After her prayers were answered, she wanted to honor him in a very special way. Since she was Sicilian, a St. Joseph Altar was the logical way to honor him. Please click here to read more.
Sacred Emblem Against the Plague

This sacred emblem is placed on the doors of houses for protection against the plague. It is an ancient indulgenced practice linked to The Most Holy Name of Jesus. The main devotions are illustrated in this figure: to the Most Holy Trinity, to Mary Most Holy, to St. Joseph, to the Sacred Heart and to the Immaculate Heart, to the Holy Rosary and to the Chair of St. Peter.
The use of sacred images is not superstition, but based on our Catholic faith. Although devotion to the Most Holy Name of Jesus is as old as the Church, it was popularized by the Franciscans of the 15th century, especially St. Bernardine of Siena. Please click here to download and print.
