A Special Send Off for St. Joseph.
We found this jewel of a blog by Barb, a Catholic teacher in Nebraska — and *loved* the party they threw for St. Joseph!! Here’s a quick summary:
Jo, a good friend of Barb’s, is a Religious Education coordinator for three separate parishes in Nebraska. When The Sisters of the Good Shepherd closed up their convent 21 years ago, they held an auction and she became the proud owner of a 5foot statue of St. Joseph. She had a special devotion to St. Joseph and and made the statue a center piece in her home.
Recently, Jo learned that the Immaculate Conception Church was in need of St. Joseph statue — and thought it would make a nice gift to the church and the perfect place to pass on the special piece to. She held a special send off party at her home, along with special blessings from a group of her 11 closest friends. They prayed the rosary and reflected on the life of St. Joseph and on the different ways St. Joseph had touched their lives.
After St. Joe takes a quick visit to a local Religious restoration shop he will be moved to his new home at Immaculate Conception. We’ll check back in with Barb in Nebraska to see how it goes!! (Image Source, credit to Barb’s Flickr stream) Make sure you visit her great blog!
