A Night with Dad Imitating St. Joseph

The boys in kindergarten through second grader were happy their Father & Son Night was not cancelled despite the snow day. With St. Joseph’s feast day approaching, the theme of the evening was based on him, the patron saint of fathers. There were sixteen stations set up around the elementary school, each one with a different virtue or characteristic of St. Joseph. Each station consisted of a picture of St. Joseph’s life depicting the particular virtue, followed by a quote - which also related to the virtue - from the letter Pope Francis wrote on St. Joseph called “With the Heart of a Father,” and lastly a task to be fulfilled. A big thank you to Mr. Ender who made it possible for the boys to learn how saw a piece of wood and hammer a nail in. Also thank you to the middle school boys who helped set up and run the stations.
