STUART | St. Joseph parishio- ners and religious leaders gathered together in prayer in a peaceful way recently to express concerns for children who have been separated from their parents after crossing the southern United States border as part of tighter restrictions and policies. The border procedure is part of a new immigration strategy by the government that prompted wide- spread outcry, after which an ex- ecutive order reversing the policy of separating families has been replaced with a policy of detaining entire families together, including children. “We came together as a com- munity of faith to show our belief in keeping immigrant families to- gether,” said parishioner Maria Val- dez, who joind nearly 70 others for St. Joseph parishioners and religious leaders gather peacefully to express concerns for children who were separated from their parents St. Joseph events, which included a after crossing the southern border of the United States.

VENICE | In a public response to a “call to holiness” Shawn Roser, 35, was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Frank J. Dewane during a Mass July 14 at Epiphany Cathedral in Venice. The poignant and emotional rite places Fa- ther Roser in a new role as he is raised to the order of the presbyterate where he will now celebrate the Mass, confer the Sacraments and teach the Gospel. Bishop Dewane congratulated the ordi- nand for answering the call to holiness and advancing in formation through prayer, dis- cernment, guidance and direction, which helped him grow closer to the Lord. Through the Sacrament of Holy Orders, the ordinand is called to reflect and magnify Christ and bring others closer to Christ. “You have chosen a particular life and continue to hear that call,” Bishop Dewane stated. “The Diocese is grateful for your hav- ing listened to that call and letting that love for Christ touch you so deeply that it brings you here today. In a particular way, today you have become an instrument of the Lord; At left, Bishop Frank J. Dewane imposes his hands upon the head of Father Shawn Roser during his ordination July 14.
