The Year of
St JosephAlmighty God, you have chosen Saint Joseph to be the mainstay of Jesus and Mary,
the wise and faithful servant in whom they could trust.
We pray that he may be the guardian of our Parish and our families;that he may inspire with confidence those who seek his protection;that he may give security to those who work in the vineyard of your Son;and finally, that he may be a source of strength to us, who wish like him,to dedicate ourselves ever more fully to Christ’s service, now and in times to come.
Amen. -
