6 Reflecting on God s Word Over the years several television shows have focused on rebuilding and reshaping houses. For over thirty years PBS s This Old House has offered tips on repairing homes. More recently, Extreme Makeover takes a team into someone s home and transforms it to meet the serious needs of its occupants, often dealing with health or disability issues or trying to serve the larger community in some way. From the beginning the church has been imagined as a house of living stones, built on Jesus Christ, a dwelling place where people come for shelter and sustenance, where they can set down their burdens and find comfort and consolation before being sent back out in the world to make it a better place to live. The risen Christ is truly one who offers an extreme makeover. He can be trusted to shape us into a dwelling place where the Spirit of the Lord takes up permanent residence, bringing gifts to benefit the world. From the beginning there have been challenges for those who form the church, and an ongoing need for renovation to meet the needs of the time. Our efforts to make the church a home where love, mercy, justice, and peace will be found should lead us to build more firmly on Jesus our cornerstone. When the time comes, the home he promised to prepare for us and take us to should be easily recognizable. It should not be that much different from the church we have been living in all our lives. James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R. Please remember St. Joseph Parish when planning your will.

Michael Russo I am happy to announce that I will be celebrating my Silver Jubilee to the Sacred Priesthood on Saturday, May 24th, at the 4 PM Anticipated Mass at Our Lady of Fatima Church in Lafayette. Over the past 25 years, many wonderful people have come into my life, and I will always have very fond memories of my time at St. Joseph Church, where my priestly ministry began. Personal invitations to each parishioner would be impossible for me to send. Thus, as priests we are limited to sending formal invitations to our family members and those with whom we have worked very closely during our pastoral assignments. However, please accept this general invitation of welcome to join me for this happy occasion. I would be blessed by your presence and hope to see you. If not, your prayers and the consolation that you might remember me at the Altar of God on this day will be in itself a blessing. PLEASE PRAY FOR A PRIEST EACH DAY Eternal Father, we lift up to You these and all the priests of the world. Sanctify them. Heal and guide them. Mold them into the likeness of Your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest. May their lives be pleasing to You. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. May 19 Rev. Clair Cazayoux, SJ May 22 Rev. Blaine Clement May 20 Rev. Michael Champagne May 23 Rev. Anthony Coco, SJ May 21 Rev. Gregory Chauvin May 24 Rev. Nathan Comeaux May 25 Rev. Gregory Cormier
