Celebrating St Joseph's day...

at this church, dedicated to St Joseph. There are always a good number of people at the 10 am Mass on weekdays, and on this day a class of children from a local Catholic primary school were there: the St Joseph's Class, which from the look of them is the youngest or almost-youngest class in the school. They all behaved beautifully and were silent, reverent, and attentive,  although it was obvious that being in a church was an unfamiliar experience for some of them, as few if any genuflected  or knew when to kneel...

 We had a really interesting sermon, explaining the significance of St Joseph, his sense of justice, his faithfulness, his huge importance in this age where fatherhood is devalued.
