Hail Patron, St. Joseph! Hoorah!
Today is our patronal feast here at Loras College. Very very exciting. I will post pictures from our chapel when I can get my hands on a digital camera. I Googled St. Joseph to find some sweet pictures, but I didn't find anything spectacular. I much prefer what we have in the chapel. So hold tight for those.
Here's the song we'll be singing today at Mass. Written for Loras College.
Good Saint Joseph, College patron,
Let us sing your praise today!
Husband, father, worker, builder,
To your strength we look this day!
Refrain:
O Saint Joseph, Loras patron,
Give us strength in times of need:
Make us gentle, strong and loving
In our thoughts and words and deeds!
Who with Mary gave us Jesus,
The world's gift, a family's loss.
Learned to teach through your example,
And with love embraced the cross.
Refrain
Hear us, Joseph, as we journey,
Foll'wing Christ, we look to you.
Give us guidance and protection,
Build the kingdom strong and true!
Yeah Loras - 167 years strong! :)
