"A few weeks ago, I found out my barber was closing his business and retiring. Brothers Joe and John Innamorato, who were born in Carife, a town in Southern Italy, had opened their shop in January of 1980. . . .
"What I liked about John and Joe was that they gave every customer what
he needed. It wasn't just about giving someone a trim or a shave, but
the experience in their shop gave everyone a few minutes of peace. . . . The barbershop
provided a place of balance and rest from the busy pace of our world. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Father Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, reflected on some of the ways a barbershop experience can be like time in the Lenten desert, with an opportunity for rest and reflection, a place for quiet and community.
