    Field Notes from our Ministers

"As a nurse, nursing is what motivated me to join this new ministry at St. Joseph.  It is a delight to know other parishioners who volunteer their time in planning and service to fellow members; they too are nursing even if they are not nurses.  I am amazed by how many people in our community are striving for Wholeness in spirit as well as body."
