MSJB Newsletter for the Novena of Saint Joseph . . .
When one looks at Good St. Joseph, one sees that his life and death were like a Holy Mass. St. Joseph’s life and death were a true sacrifice, a true passion. St. Joseph experienced his own Good Friday. We often speak about Our Lady of Sorrows, and rightly so, but what about Joseph as a Man of Sorrows who was called to unite with the Passion and Death of Christ, though he died well before Jesus’ journey up Mt. Calvary?

“The company of those who believed were of one heart and soul"
(Acts 4:32).
The Dean of Lourdes, Abbe Peyramale, to St Bernadette:
“Ask the Lady Her name once more, and when we know Her name,
we will build Her a chapel. And it won’t be a little one, I tell you;
it will be a very big one.”

Help us build a Grotto for Our Lady...
A cave of refreshment in dark times.
Our Lady of Lourdes needs a Niche in the Wall
Due to the generosity of many benefactors, we have purchased (the mortgage for the church building was retired on Feb 9) and refurbished a beautiful church under the patronage of Our Lady of Lourdes. Although there are still many things to be done in the church (e.g., restoring most of the stained glass windows, restoring the bell tower and bells, and refurbishing the kitchen), we now need to build the Blessed Mother of God a special cave or grotto that will call to mind that sacred apparition site in Lourdes, France. For how can one have a church dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes without a Grotto? What a blessing it would be for future parishioners and passersby if they could pray not only in our chapel before the Tabernacle, but also visit an outdoor shrine with a niche for Our Lady... a sort of tabernacle on earth for the Blessed Mother. Thus, we have initiated the first phase of a new capital campaign to serve three ends: building the Grotto, to help us finish the work in the church as well as pay off and develop our new property (at 1111-1113 Amsterdam Road) to improve parking and provide additional housing for the Missionaries. If you want your donation to be used for the Grotto only, please indicate that along with the donation (e.g., writing "Grotto" in the memo line). Help Us Give Honor to the Highest Honor of Our Race.
