On Sunday, March 19, we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Joseph, patron saint of the Universal Church and fathers. We will begin the 9-day novena prayer to St. Joseph on March 9. Please join your Parish community in reciting the following novena prayer to St. Joseph:

Novena Prayer to St. Joseph

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you, Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.

Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life.

Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, and defend us from every evil.

Amen.
