Year of St Joseph!
What a great gift to be given a holy year dedicated to St Joseph! What a wonderful response of our Holy Father Pope Francis to the circumstances of our world at the moment. When faced with a pandemic who better to turn to than our holy protector St Joseph.
More can be found out about this great saint, this holy year and the gift of the plenary indulgences granted during it, in the documents found here below.
St Joseph, pray for us!
Good St. Joseph,
As you led the Holy Family, watch over our families.
Help our family and all families to know and share God’s love.
In our family relationships, may we find healing and seek to be holy.
May our fathers help us to become faithful disciples of Jesus who share our love for Him.
As foster father of Jesus, watch over all who serve as spiritual fathers.
In a special way, bless our Holy Father, our Bishop, and our priests.
May they follow your humble example in their fatherly care for the people of God, the Church.
With Mary, you raised Jesus the High Priest. You know our need for priests.
Please raise up good and holy priests from our families to serve the people of our diocese.
May our children and grandchildren hear and say “yes” to the call of Jesus, just as you and Mary did.
Good St. Joseph, pray for us.
