This week we learned of the passing of a great man and faithful friend of the St Joseph’s High School Youth Group through the years, Mike Mansfield. May he rest in peace with our Lord for whom he had the highest devotion.
Looking back through the many pictures of the meetings and events of HS Youth Group, Mike’s presence was a shining light. He participated as an adult volunteer long after even the passing of Jackie and his girls were grown. Why? Because he knew the importance of passing on our Catholic faith to young people. His example of faith, family, service, friendship, fun and the importance of our Catholic community is the legacy he leaves. Our hearts are with Sue, Shannon & Maggie during this difficult time. I know for me, Mike’s heart and soul that lived for growing in relationship with God will boost my resolve to continue that effort here at St Joseph’s. Let’s think about how we all do that with and in the spirit of Mike Mansfield.
