The reason we have this school – Archbishop Borders – is to help you preserve your Hispanic heritage, grow in your faith, and develop your potential. We are counting on you to be leaders in the Church and in society and in that way to honor the heritage that is yours.

I have no doubt that Blessed Stanley is exerting an influence on your formation: human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral – and what a good thing that is! It is my prayer that you’ll tap into the example and intercession of this priest, who not too long ago, walked the halls in which you walk, sat in the classrooms where study, and worshipped in the chapel where you now pray.

Padre Pio had a warm and loving devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Here in the heart of Mary’s Basilica, let us ask for the grace to be ourselves living interpretations of the Scriptures we read and proclaim.

It is a pleasure to return to St. Joseph Parish to celebrate with you the 100th anniversary of its founding. Today we pay tribute to those who went before us in faith – to the Redemptorist Fathers at St. Mary’s in Annapolis whom we claim as our “mother-parish” –and to the Archdiocesan priests, deacons, religious, and lay leaders who guided St. Joseph Parish through the years, and to your current pastor, Fr. Augustine Inwang, of the Missionary Society of St. Paul.
