The Catholic Church celebrates St. Josephs’ feast day on March 19. St. Joseph is the patron saint of husbands, fathers, families, homes and workers. Joseph is also believed to protect pregnant women, travelers, immigrants and people buying or selling homes. In 1870, St. Joseph was declared patron of the universal Church and he is also one of the principal patrons of Canada. Please join Salt + Light in a month long novena prayer to St. Joseph. We invite you to pray for our ministry and for your own special intentions. Please find the prayer below:

Glorious St. Joseph

Appointed by the Eternal Father

As the guardian and protector of the life of Jesus Christ,

the comfort and support of His Holy Mother,

and the instrument in His great design

for the Redemption of mankind,

then who had the happiness of living with Jesus and Mary

and of dying in Their arms,

be moved with the confidence which we place in you

and procure for us from The Almighty,

the particular favours which we humbly ask through your intercession.

(Here ask for favours you wish to obtain)

Pray for us, then, O Great Saint Joseph

And by your love for Jesus and Mary,

And by Their love for you,

Obtain for us the supreme happiness of living and dying in the love of Jesus and Mary, Amen.

St. Joseph, pray for us. If you would like to share your special intentions with us, please let us know.
