| Summary: | Father Joseph developed a passion for the outdoors as a young boy. His father taught him how to use guns for hunting and insisted that he take a gun safety course. Upon graduation from high school, Joseph entered the U. S. Marines and received extensive training in the use of weapons. After he was ordained, Father Joseph continued to hunt and, after having met the local civil requirements, began to carry a firearm because of the violence that occasionally erupts in his area. He volunteered for the local police reserves, and when Father Joseph is needed for crowd control at fairs and parades, he carries a gun. Recently, he was asked by the parish pastoral council whether, in the event that one of the parishioners who carries a firearm for protection to Mass was unavailable, he would stand, with his firearm concealed, in the rear of the church when not celebrating Mass to prevent someone from doing violence in the church. |
