My felicitations and School News blessings are to all the fathers in our parish. You are  always in the background and you are the backbone of the family like St. Joseph. All of the things that you  do that go unnoticed, are very much felt in every decision the family makes in life. I would like to bring  St. Joseph as a model of faith in your life journey. One of the remarkable things you do is choosing names  for your children. Even though it may seem insignificant, it makes a great deal in the life of your children.

The angel struck Zechariah mute, unable to speak. Gabriel’s appearance to Zechariah was nearly identical to the one to Joseph. For Joseph, the angel appears in dream, but for Zechariah, it is during the time of service in the temple. As we know, the reactions of Joseph and Zechariah were quite different. Joseph found a solution to his problem and of his humble obedience to God’s will, opened the way to salvation.  This story gives a powerful message to all Fathers.
