Conclusion of the Year Dedicated to Saint Joseph

Conclusion of the year dedicated to Saint Joseph.

On December 8, 2020, Pope Francis announced a year devoted to St. Joseph to mark the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. This particular year of individual and collective prayers to St. Joseph ends next week on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. However, the challenge of living like St. Joseph continues. He submitted himself to the will of God and loved Jesus and Mary in simplicity and fidelity. May our devotion to St. Joseph inspire us to implore his intercession and imitate his virtues and way of life within the Holy Family. Let us pray Saint Joseph to intercede for our families.
