As a 58-year-old mother of thirteen (yes, thirteen!), I’m always grateful to have this quiet Saint watching over our family.
In fact, we’re quite literally under his watchful gaze here at home—there’s a life-size statue of St. Joseph holding the Child Jesus in our living room.
He’s such a fixture, I sometimes catch myself chatting with him and waiting for a response...lol!
I also carry part of his name with me...my middle name is Jo, after my dad and good old St. Joseph himself.
In our Catholic faith, he perfectly models faith, humility, and steadfast care for the Holy Family.
May this special day remind us all to trust in God’s plan and to serve our loved ones with joyful hearts.
St. Joseph, pray for us!
Sending our love and prayers to our remnant family...Wendy, Walt and the entire Cukierski family

For the living: FOREVER MASS & PRAYER PAGE!
THIS is for the LIVING! Forever DAILY Mass and Prayer!
For your mom, dad, sibling, grandparent, favorite Aunt or Uncle, dear cousin, niece, nephew, friend, spouse, a child away from the faith...or even yourself!
Lined up the priests, created the page, instructed my children (who will instruct the grandchildren, etc) that THIS is a FOREVER thing!
Shoot, I want MY SOUL prayed for, for all of eternity (and my children's and hubby)!
Something about being in my 50's has really "woke me up" about eternity...and the eternity of all of my children.
L**** and I were one of the precipitants of This mission. She is right. My parking was 9 per day for 3 months. Then on top of that food cost me approximately 15 per day. That was cheap - I got vouchers for $5.00 per meal. So somedays I did not eat or made meals last for more then one meal. Had to. Parking was $810. Food was $1,300. Then you have normal household bills and I have 3 animals I had to pay to have people come and take care of them. At first I had my dog in the Kennel for 1/2 the time. That was about 500. It is VERY expensive to have a sick child. That was Just ONE hospital stay. We have had numerous ones. Some only a few days, some a week or two. Without their help we would of gone fully under!
From providing necessary funds to actually having families stay with us...we DO what we say we do!
