Glad to be collaborating ecumenically on care for our common home

🥳 The Laudato Si' Commission of the Archdiocese of St. Louis is a toddler! We are two years old and we spent some time celebrating, reflecting, and planning for what's to come next. We are all so grateful to be doing this work with our region.

💚 This group is filled with people who have the passion, dedication, and spirit to make things happen. It is a blessing to be working with people who care so deeply and have such profound spirituality.

⚡️The energy is best described as spirit-led, and WOW are we feeling the Holy Spirit coursing through our Commission.

"A group of people coming together in a state of presence generates a collective energy field of great intensity. It not only raises the degree of presence of each member of the group but also helps to free the collective human consciousness from its current state of mind dominance." — The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle

🥂 CHEERS to all of the promise and opportunities on the horizon!

God grant many years to Fr Joe Weber on the anniversary of his priesthood. He has supported ecumenical work throughout his career and has served as the chair of our ecumenical commission.

This year we joyfully celebrate the jubilee anniversary of Father Joseph Weber, a bi‑ritual priest whose faithful ministry has blessed both the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis and our Eparchy. Ordained on May 22, 1976, Fr. Joe has spent five decades offering the Holy Mysteries with humility, dedication, and a true pastor’s heart.

He is currently the pastor/administrator of St. Anthony the Great—formerly our St. Louis Mission—and has served this community for many years.

We give thanks to God for his many years of priestly service and pray that the Lord, who called him, will continue to grant him health, joy, and every blessing.

Axios! May God grant him many blessed years.
