We will begin a parish-wide consecration to St. Joseph starting on February 15 and ending on the feast day of St. Joseph on March 19, in honor of the Year of St. Joseph declared by Pope Francis as beginning December 8, 2020 and ending December 8, 2021.
This consecration process will take 33 days and we will be following Fr. Donald Calloway's book "Consecration to St. Joseph."
This book will be available for purchase from the parish at a 20% discount from list price.
Daily live prayer videos will be accessible via Facebook, YouTube, and Zoom.
 

Devotion to St. Joseph is one of the choicest graces that God can give to a soul, for it is tantamount to reealing the entire treasury of our Lord's graces. When God wishes to raise a soul to greater heigher, he unites it to St. Joseph by giving it a strong love for the good saint.

What does it mean for a person to be consecrated to St. Joseph? Well, it basically means that you acknowledge that he is your spiritual father, and you want to be like him. To show it, you entrust yourself entirely into his paternal care so that he can help you acquire his virtues and become holy. Total consecration to St. Joseph means you make a formal act of filial entrustment to your spiritual father so that he can take care of your spiritual well-being and lead you to God. The person who consecrates himself to St. Joseph wants to be as close to their spiritual father as possible, to the point of resembling him in virtue and holiness. Saint Joseph, in turn, will give those consecrated to him his undivided attention, protection, and guidance.

If you have already consecrated yourself to the Virgin Mary, can you be consecrated to St. Joseph, as well?
The answer is a resounding “Yes!” God desires that all children be committed to the care of a mother and a father. You are not a member of a single-parent spiritual family. Mary is your spiritual mother, and St. Joseph is your spiritual father. The spiritual fatherhood of St. Joseph is extremely important for your spiritual growth. Total consecration to Mary is not diminished by total consecration to St. Joseph. Mary wants you to consecrate yourself to St. Joseph! Jesus wants you to consecrate yourself to St. Joseph! Everything you have given to Jesus and Mary can also be given to St. Joseph. The hearts of Jesus, Mary, and St. Joseph are one.
