May 1st is the Feast Day of St Joseph the Worker, and our cover depicts a lovely stained-glass image of the man to whom God entrusted the care of Jesus and Mary. In ‘Echoes’, Patricia Hope tells us why this second Feast Day of St Joseph came into being. Fr John Harris OP writes about how this lovely saint remains the perfect role model for men. May is of course dedicated to Mary and Ray Hughes’ chosen hymn is ‘Bring Flowers of the Fairest’, immortalized by the singing of Canon Sydney McEwan. Dom Aelred Magee celebrates her role as Mother and Homemaker. Renowned missionary, Edel Quinn and Hollywood’s Gary Cooper also feature this month. Our ‘Friends of Saint Martin’ page celebrates the 90th birthday of our beloved former Editor, and Spiritual Director, Fr Diarmuid Clifford OP. As part of the 800 years commemoration of the arrival of the Dominican Order in Ireland we are hoping to refurbish the National Shrine of St Martin in St Saviour’s Church, Dominic Street, Dublin 1. Should any of our readers and supporters like to assist us in this venture we would, as always, be most grateful.
