OATH
May our patron saint, Saint Joseph be my shining inspiration ,powerful model and effective
intercessor as I continually engage my good self in the commitment of faithfully and exuberantly
serving God in the people of this parish community and of bringing glory to His Holy Name.
I fully understand that this position I now hold is for humble and loving service and not for
personal gain and prestige.
