� (�A.lNT JOSEPH PROVIDES"

B
ECJ.. U�.,:s the saintly Father Drumgoole

saw

in Nazareth a home,
whose Queen was

Mary, whose principal
occupant was a Boy and

whose Provider was
Joseph-he built a

House

dedicated to the
Immaculate Virgin, whose occu­

pants are the needy
boy-brothers of the

once

\
needy Boy-J

esus-s-and' now as then-the
Prov�der

is Saint Joseph. Out of
this vision came his great

mission in life.

His Eminence, the late
Cardinal Hayes, was a

young man,
several years away

from the Priest­

hood. One day on an errand
to the Mission of

the Immaculate Virgin,
he met our saintly

Father Drumgoole.

Patrick Hayes rapped at the
door. A business­

like "come in" and he
entered. The message de­

'Iivered, the young aspirant
to the Altar was

about to leave-but there
was something strange

-and he wondered. There
on one chair was a

cl .s: il�t l,;S:.:IJ�l, a nel another,
Cl statue

of Our Lady Immaculate.
His curiosity gave him

110 rest and he asked:
"Father Drumgoole, tell

me, why are those
statues on the chairs?" Our

Founder's face broke out into
a great big, char­

acteristic smile: "Because
that chair belongs

to Saint Joseph," and
he pointed, "and that

chair belongs to Our Lady,
and no one else may

use them." And
when young Patrick gave

evi­

dence of enjoying and appreciating
the old man's

piety, Father Drumgoole
confided: "Saint Joseph

and Mary are my two
best friends. Whenever

I'm anxious about the
food bills ànd need money

for my boys I have a
little chat with Saint Jos­

eph and ask him
to provide. You know

that was

a



his job here on earth talç:�b care of that Great­
est of all boys, the Boy Jesus_'�-Em -oldened
by this mark of confidence on the pa] of th­
aging priest, the young man put anotl jr que-­
tion: "And Father Drrmgoole, does Sain � Josef
come to your assistanceZ't=-Poìntìng again
the statue of Saint Joseph on the chaìr and l'
a finality in his tone that could not be forgotten
Father Drumgoole said: "SAINT JOSEPH AL·
WAYS PROVIDES."

FAlTU IN SAINT JOSEPH REWARDED



God forbid that we ever forget the lesson of

the saintly Father Drumgoole-"SAINT JOSEPH
ALWAYS PROVIDES."

Some may say that Father Drumgoole's life­

work is the monument which stands at mount

Loretto-the Mission of the Immacuiate Virgin.

Daily it houses over 1,000 homeless, destitute

and neglected children. During the past 85 years
more than 100,000 underprivileged children have

found a home there, ana from it have gone out

sturdy, trained men and women, ready to take

their places in the serried ranks of life.

Father Drumgoole's Message To You.

This is Father Drumgoole's monument. But we

wonder! Is it not true that all this was and is

possible today BECAU�E OF SAINT JOSEPH?
-Could Father Drumgoole sit here at his desk.

where he sat so many times during his busy
fruitful life, sit here by the side of these two

chairs which constituted his shrine-altars and

were we to ask him-FATHER DRUMGOOLE, WHY

DID GOD SEPD YOU TO US, WHAT WAS YOUR MIS­

SION, WAS IT PRIMARILY TO TEACH US TO
CARE

FOR NEEDY CHILDREN OR TO TEACH US TO "Go TG)

JOSEPH?"-we feel Father Drumgoole would con.

Iess that his REAL MISSWN in life was to be

THE PREACHER OF SAINT JOSEPH, through

his words, "SAINT JOSEPH ALWAYS PRO­

VIDES."

The lesson of the life of the saintly Father

Drumgoole must not be missed: SAINT JOSEPH

ALWAYS PROVIDES!

Ever since 1874 the Promoters and Members

of Saint Joseph's Union, numbering during these

5



passing years millions and spread throughout the

&U4.·dd-�ave been uracticiu£; and �reachip-.g :!!e
leSSOlI Pather Drumgoo te came to teach. Saint
Joseph's Union has kept Father Drumgoole's Mon­
ument-the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin
caring for the needy children-resplendent and
bright these long sixty-five years. We must carry
an,-Saint Joseph's Union must carryon.

nns NOVENA

H e have not done enough. We must do more. The

Iesson of Father Drumgoole must be preached and

taught even more vigorously and more universally.
'lather Drumgoole wills that here at the Mission
the Perpetual Novena in honor of Saint Joseph be con ..

ducted. Why? For his boys. For you" For the wor ld ..
To the glory of Jesus and Mary and Jos !ph.

Every Wedne�day af the ye�t onr mare than one

thousand children gather about the shrine of the great
Patron of Father Drumgcole, the dear Saint Joseph,
and are praying the Perpetual Novena first, fot you,
Members and Promoters of the Unien; secondly, for ali

who join them in spirit and send in their petitions; and

thirdly and lastly, for themselves-who perhaps need
him mote than anyone else.

AU we ask is that you. help us to preach to the world
tbe great sermon of Father Drumgeole-e-v'Saint Joseph

Always Provides." TeU aU the world. Ask all io

·�Go to Joseph/' Go yourself. Join with 500,000
Members of Saint Joseph' s Ilnion in a great tribute of

love and praise to our OWl'. good Saint Joseph.

Dear guide of her Child!

We lean upon thee.

TO SAiNT JOSEPH

Saint Joseph, when the day was done,
And all' your work put by,

You watched the stars come one by one

Out in the violet sky.

You did not know the stars by name,
But there sat by your knee

One made the light and flame

And all things bright that be.

You heard with Him, birds in the tree

Twitter "'Good Night" o'erhead­

The maker of the world must see

His little ones to bed.

Then when the darkness settled round,

prayers were said;

No wonder yeur sleep was grounJ
The Angels loved to tread.
