McCarthy Foundation Board member, Lee Markell, recently invited Fr. Josh Salonek out to the farm to give a blessing to the farm before he departs for his next assignment next month.

“Blessed are all who fear the Lord, 

and who walk in his ways. 

2 What your hands provide you will enjoy; 

you will be blessed and prosper: 

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine 

within your home, 

Your children like young olive plants 

around your table. 

4 Just so will the man be blessed 

who fears the Lord. 

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion; 

may you see Jerusalem’s prosperity 

all the days of your life, 

6 and live to see your children’s children. 

Peace upon Israel!”
