Happy Thanksgiving!

“If the only prayer in our life is 'thank you' that will be sufficient.”

- Meister Eckhardt (1260-1327)

As we gather with family and friends this Thanksgiving Day and celebrate one of America’s most beloved national holidays, we give thanks to God for our blessings of freedom, peace and plenty. We also remember in thanks the many contributions each generation of Americans has made to preserve our blessings. Thanksgiving doesn’t just come on a calendar on the fourth Thursday of November, but a grateful attitude is giving thanks year round for each and every blessing. I thank God for the parish family of St. Joseph and pray for each and every one you. Wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving!
