After prayerful reflection, consultation, and discernment, and exercising my lawful authority as Bishop of Palm Beach, I hereby decree the following...

This Sunday, June 28, 2026, I will have the great privilege of joining the faithful of the Mission of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Delray Beach and its beloved pastor, Rev. Roland Desormeaux, C.S., as we celebrate the patronal feast of this extraordinary community of faith.

A title of honor belonging to Saint Joseph is "the man according to God's own heart," "His right-hand man"—that is, the man of God's providence. This leads us more intimately into the relationship of Joseph with the Holy Spirit.

From May 26-28, I had the great joy of conducting my pastoral visit to the Mission of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Delray Beach. I was warmly welcomed by its faithful people and by its remarkable pastor, Rev. Roland Desormeaux, C.S., a Scalabrinian priest who has ministered there continuously for the past 39 years.
