What started as an occasional appearance as a substitute on weekends and holy days so many years ago has blossomed into a permanent assignment with us. The people of the parish of St. Joseph, Homewood, offer a whole-hearted greeting to the return of Fr. Ron Kondziolka as our new administrator. Most of us are familiar with the wit and pithiness of his sermons as well as his love for simple hymns. We receive you with pleasure and our hospitality to our congregation.
… ‘Tis a gift to be simple, Tis a gift to be free, Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be. And when we find ourselves in the place just right, ‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.” -Shaker Song “Simple Gifts”
