St. Robert Altar Society honors men on St. Joseph’s feast day

The St. Robert Bellarmine Altar and Rosary Society honored men of the parish on March 19.

St. Joseph was chosen as the ideal model of positive masculinity in his role of protector and guide to the Blessed Mother and our savior Jesus Christ.

Speaker Mickey Letcher highlighted the fact that these virtues are eminently portrayed in the men of the parish and a special thanks was extended to them all, as well as a challenge to go deeper in their spiritual life.

A homemade meal was expertly prepared and graciously served by volunteers from the Altar and Rosary Society.

A copy of Bishop Robert Barron’s new book, This is My Body: A Call to Eucharistic Revival, was given to men, as it is this sacrament that makes Catholic life possible.

Mary Spencer and committee members Virginia Schnabel and Jonel Cisco led parish volunteers in the execution of a plan designed to uplift men of the parish — fathers, single persons, or religious.
