We take note of all the intentions that come in, even if we can't reasonably reply to every one of them.  But one particular set of intentions are appearing recently a fair amount, and that has been for good employment for our Confraternity members, or their loved ones, and some are also looking for a good home to live in. 

Well, while we are not looking for employment, we are looking to get through all the permits for our new home, and perhaps to be able to acquire some land that has opened up close to us.  We don't have to tell you how many problems can arise during this process of acquiring permits and land.  So here we are - we will pray this novena for you, for us, and for all in our prayers looking for these two intentions.  If you wish to join us, we will be praying the Pope Leo XIII^th prayer, "To Thee, O Blessed Joseph."  Now seems an opportune and fitting time to ask St. Joseph the Worker (feast: May 1st), to join us by his loving prayers.
