St.Willibrord's may be an Irish Church but the best thing that ever happened to them was getting a wise Scot as a Priest. When Father Joe arrived St.Willi's was rumored to close but he sent Nuns to every door in the Parish (Church to Desmarchais) offering to Baptize babies at no charge and no questions. Verdun was crawling with unchristened children and they all came to give their children a proper name. The rest was history, he put them all to work. Ed
Yeah Father Joe, may God truly bless you.
Yea for what they 've done to help the parrish,./ after all it's just selling a product, and he has done a good job ,according to the evidence & his non paid sales staff: Selling Babtism's door to door ,...........wow,.....good thinking,........... I never did do door to door stuff,.....& can't say I ever liked it ,(when I was solicited) Regardless of the product being pushed,.............but have to admire tenacity, Just wish I had a Sales Staff willing to work for Nothing ,while I made millions(or at least my Head Office Did)...................Gives me a good idea though ,..the next time I need a New Roof,.........I'm Going door to door & having a Garage Sale: hahahahahahahha ....................Just My Thoughts on Your Ingenuity Have Fun & Rememeber Verdun psssssssst : somethings don't change ,.... I Remember Father Thoms Bellowing for evryone to drop more in the plate ( & he made no bones about it) to pay for the wooden panneling that they lined the Church with in those early 60's ,...oh yea ,the new P/A system too............................. Have to admit it worked well , Kudos for the work they do & it is needed............Some good stuff does come of most of that stuff.......................Hey what do you know ,.Just like a Business, Weird uhh (eh? for us Canadians).......Imagine We give you something ,.& you give me money for it..................That's what makes the world Go Round That's why I prefer to help where I can ,& when I can ,and anyone & everyone without someone else 'dishing out the pesos'.....................hahahahahha Just be a relatively Good Person,............as often as you can ,.and I don't think you need to join a special club/gang to do it: .............................................But I do see the need for the 'Mass's ,.so to speak Just an opinion mind you ..... ...............HF&RV
Father Joe worked with my Dad for 38 yrs and became a good family friend. He attended many functions: baptisams, weddings, graduations anniversary and birthday parties and funerals. He was there. . . Rest peacfully in the protection of the Angels wings. God bless us all 💗
