“The Patriarch Joseph foreshadowed the mission and vocation of Saint Joseph, Foster-Father of Jesus and True Spouse of the Virgin Mary. Thus, too, we follow the command: Go to Joseph.”  ~ Raymond Cardinal Burke

Submit Your Intentions - Nine Holy Masses St. Joseph Novena

Dear Friend, 

If you haven't had a chance to submit your intentions or would like to update them, please take a few minutes to do so now, for the Nine Holy Masses that will be offered invoking the intercession of St. Joseph, from March 11-19, including the feast day.  

It seems unbelievable that a simple layman, a humble worker, a father should be designated as the protector of the entire universal Church, yet, that is the role of St. Joseph, the foster-father of Jesus officially decreed by Pius IX in 1870. But hasn’t Joseph always been the protector of all that is holy and innocent? 

Now is the time to begin Day One of the Nine-Day Novena:

In Bethlehem, he protected the Child Jesus from the murderous designs of Herod and then protected the Child and His holy mother on the long journey into Egypt and back (Matthew 2:13-15). Then he protected the Holy Family from Archelaus, the son of Herod, by avoiding Judea and settling in Nazareth on their return (Matthew 2:21-23).

We sometimes forget how critical St. Joseph is to the protection of our families and our Church, but we can capture that sense of Joseph’s guidance by fully embracing this wonderful Novena. In fact, all who do so will reap great benefits from this devotion to our great patron!

May St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, protect Holy Mother Church from heresy. 

Yours in the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
