Oh, glorious St. Joseph,
you were chosen by God
to be the foster father of
Jesus, the most pure
spouse of Mary ever Virgin, and the head of the
Holy Family.
The next Women’s Guild Meeting will be on Wednesday, January 14 at 7 p.m. in the Parish Hall.
You have been chosen by
Christ’s Vicar as the
heavenly patron and protector of the Church
founded by Christ.
Therefore, it is with
great confidence that I
implore your powerful
assistance for the whole
Church on Earth. Protect
in a special manner, with
true fatherly love, the
Pope, all Bishops, and
Priests in Communion
with the See of Peter.
Be the protector of all
who labor for souls amid
the trials and tribulations of this life, and
grant that all peoples of
the world may follow
Christ and the Church he
founded.
Amen.
