Celebrating the Feast of St. Joseph
Today we
celebrate the feast day of St. Joseph, husband of Mary. The Bible pays Joseph
the highest compliment: he was a “just” man. The quality meant a lot more than
faithfulness in paying debts.
When the
Bible speaks of God “justifying” someone, it means that God, the all-holy or
“righteous” one, so transforms a person that the individual shares somehow in
God’s own holiness, and hence it is really “right” for God to love him or her.
In other words, God is not playing games, acting as if we were lovable when we
are not.
By saying
Joseph was “just,” the Bible means that he was one who was completely open to
all that God wanted to do for him. He became holy by opening himself totally to
God.
The just
man was simply, joyfully, wholeheartedly obedient to God—in marrying Mary, in
naming Jesus, in shepherding the precious pair to Egypt, in bringing them to
Nazareth, in the undetermined number of years of quiet faith and courage.

We would like to welcome Rev. Deacon David Olsen to St Joseph Parish
Deacon David Olsen was ordained a Permanent Deacon by
Archbishop Alexander Brunett in November 2007 at St. James Cathedral in
Seattle. Deacon Olsen was first assigned to St. James Cathedral, and then to
St. Paul’s on the Swinomish Reservation in La Conner. He has also served at St.
Joseph in Issaquah and Christ Our Hope in downtown Seattle.
David and his wife Reeny, have been married 34 years and
have 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren. They recently moved to the
Tri-cities to be closer to their 2 daughters and grandkids, and a little bit
closer to their son and daughter-in-law in Chicago.
Deacon Olsen is very grateful to Bishop Tyson for assigning
him to St. Joseph’s and is looking forward to assisting Fr. Vasquez and
ministering in the St. Joseph community. His heart is to share God’s merciful
love, manifest through His Son Jesus Christ, to those most in need.
