      • Year of Saint Joseph
        • Year of St Joseph Indulgences
        • Consecration to St. Joseph
  • On December 8, 2020, Pope Francis declared a special Year of St. Joseph to run through December 8, 2021. This marks the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church by Pope Pius IX. Pope Francis began the year with a new Apostolic Letter entitles Patris Corde (With a Father's Heart). The Holy Father reflected that COVID-19 "has helped us see more clearly the imporance of ordinary people who, though far from the limelight, exercise patience and offer hope every day." St. Joseph is the epitome of the quiet, ordinary person moving behind the scenes - and yet he shapes all of human history with his quiet guidance, protection, holiness, and acceptance of God's will.

    From the FDLC: 
    As the Church celebrates a Year of St. Joseph, join Msgr. Joseph DeGrocco (Diocese of Rockville Centre) for a special webinar on St. Joseph in the Church's liturgy. The presentation will include an exploration of the solemnities, feasts, and memorials of St. Joseph, as well as readings and the prayers of the Mass as they relate to the Universal Patron of the Church. The webinar is free and open to the public. Register today to watch live on April 27 (1pm ET) or for the session recording. Event registration is halfway down the webpage. 

  • St. Joseph of the Family Podcast 

    Because there is really no definitive teaching on St. Joseph, we can extrapolate from what we know about Jewish culture at the time and what we read in scripture to imagine what he must have been like. We do know that he can teach us about being a spouse, a parent, a follower of Christ. He can show us how to love Jesus and Mary better and, as patron of the family, he is a powerful intercessor for us! Listen in to this insightful conversation about the man who can serve as a model to us all – St. Joseph                                       Podcast Link
