Thoughts from Father Nick…
Have you ever visited the Shrine of St. Joseph in St. Louis? The church has an amazing history. This was a thriving parish Church for German immigrants in the
19th century. They had everything going. They had relics of St. Peter Claver, who was famous
for leaving the comfort of Spain to go to the new world, harboring slaves in South America,
tending to their physical and spiritual needs, and treating them with compassion and love as he
lived among them. More than one authenticate miracle that furthered the cause for his canonization happened in this church, where a man seriously injured in a work accident was cured
through veneration of the relic. It was thriving Eucharistic community and continued that way
until the mid 20th century.
Slowly, the area started becoming more industrial than residential, and people started
moving out. The 100 year old Church needed a major renovation, but the people and money
were not there. In the 70’s a priest named Fr. Ed Filipiak arrived on the scene. He inherited a
bad situation - an assignment no other priest wanted. Never mind that the church was in awful
shape, the rectory was filled with rats and asbestos. But that didn't stop Fr. Ed from falling in
love with the with this Church and the few people who were left. He served them faithfully. Other priests and loved ones told him, "leave the rectory, let’s get you to live somewhere
decent. The neighborhood is dangerous." He said: "This is my home and these are my people. I’m not going anywhere."
In September 1979, robbers broke into his rectory to steal the collection money. Fr.
Ed was killed over a matter of a couple of dollars. What happened next was just as miraculous
as the Peter Claver miracles. Thousands of people attended the funeral. Afterwards, the community rallied together, and a group was formed (the friends of St. Joseph) who dedicated
themselves to restoring the church. The story of Fr. Ed's faithfulness and love of the parish
grew, and the donations started coming in from near and far. The parish / community was revitalized, physically and spiritually, and the church was saved.
St. Peter Claver and Fr. Ed show us the missionary spirit of the Gospel. And they
were missionaries in different ways. St. Peter WENT, Fr. Ed STAYED. They dedicated themselves to their ministry, even in the most terrible of conditions, because they because they
were sent, as we all are. We can have the heart of a missionary too.
In the Gospel today, Jesus is telling his disciples go into the towns, bring no food, no
money, one bag, one tunic… That’s all you need. It’ll keep you single minded in apostolic
work and reliant on the generosity of others. What an important lesson in a day and age where
we’re suspicious of people and have difficulty trusting. Fr. Ed knew his people would come
through, and they did, thanks to his sacrificial witness. Let’s pray that we may given a great
zeal for the mission, for being sent. May it manifest a dependence on the help of others and the
grace of God.
