This Week's Message from

Father Michael Amesse



November 9, 2025


Dear Friends,

 

As we continue our journey through this Jubilee Year of “Pilgrims of Hope,” the Shrine is blessed to host a very special event that embodies that theme perfectly. On Tuesday, November 12, 2025, we welcome Eric Genuis, an internationally acclaimed composer and performer, whose Concerts of Hope have touched hearts around the world.


Eric’s mission is simple yet profound — to bring the transforming power of beauty and music to those who need it most. He performs in prisons, hospitals, shelters, and recovery centers, offering light where there is often darkness, and hope where it seems lost. Through his music, he reminds all who listen that each person is loved, valued, and never forgotten by God.


How wonderful that Eric will bring this message of hope to St. Joseph the Worker Shrine, a place that has long stood as a refuge for prayer, peace, and renewal. His music speaks to the soul, lifting hearts toward what is good and holy — an invitation to experience the joy that faith brings.

I warmly invite you to join us for this unforgettable Concert of Hope, and to be part of an evening where faith, beauty, and music come together in celebration of God’s presence among us.

 

Remember—


Hope does not disappoint!


I remember you at Mass!

Altar of the dead


November 2nd is All Souls Day, a commemoration of the Faithful Departed.   We have special remembrances of our beloved deceased all month. This year we will once again continue the tradition of installing an Altar of the Dead, an adaptation of a Mexican custom, where you can bring remembrance cards or other items to remember your loved ones and place them on the altar.  


Since these items will be openly displayed, costly items, or items of particular emotional value should not be included.
