And surely this is a spark of inspiration for us all to think/act in the same way when the opportunity arrises.

The welcoming attitude at St. J...Dear Fr. Alfonse-<br /><br />The welcoming attitude at St. Joseph's predates Msgr. Don by about 20 years.<br /><br />When we moved to Garland in 1976, St. Joseph parish had just been started with Sunday Masses at Spring Creek Elementary School. The rectory and church office were in large house on J. J. Pearce with the weekday chapel in the garage.<br /><br />For some reason I did not have my car that first Sunday, and my DH dropped me off. I was looking for a phone to call him to pick me up. <br /><br />Paul and Karen Rafferty saw me and offered me a ride home, and that was just the beginning of the hospitality.<br /><br />Msgr. Don did some wonderful things for this parish, mainly in terms of architecture, liturgy, and education, but the welcoming, loving people have been here from the beginning.<br /><br />janJannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-61088319739997118082011-02-20T17:27:52.903-06:002011-02-20T17:27:52.903-06:00I should make it a point too that Monsignor Fische...I should make it a point too that Monsignor Fischer created the environment that exists today at the Church. He installed in the hearts of those who worship at St. Joseph's to be welcoming and loving towards all.Fr.

St. Jos...I agree with this couple from out of town. St. Joseph and you are absolutely awesome. Father Don was also - (I still follow him to hear his homilies and I listen to his radio program).<br /><br />I always tell my family that angels dwell at St. Joseph. I feel their presence. I too was upset that Father Don left, and I felt like no one could ever replace him...then here you come along! Yes, I miss Father Don, but you are also a wonderful inspirational priest and I am so happy you were sent here. Don't change.
