CONSECRATION TO ST. JOSEPH, PATRON OF THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH With the Apostolic Letter “Patris corde” (“With a Father’s Heart”), Francis recalls the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. To mark the occasion, the Holy Father has proclaimed a “Year of Saint Joseph” from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021. St. Vincent’s is asking parishioners to join in a parish-wide consecration of themselves and their families to God through St. Joseph beginning May 1, the Feast of St Joseph the Worker. This 33-day consecration will end a few days before the ordination of our seminarians to the priesthood. The consecration is based on “Consecration to St. Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father“ by Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC. You may purchase this book from many places. We have been notified by The Marian Fathers at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy that their organization is offering the book to anyone who gives any donation plus the $5.25 shipping charge (one offer per household) - this offer is available in the continental until March 1. The Marian Fathers are using a different timetable for their consecration - beginning March 19, the of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To facilitate the consecration, The Marian Fathers have launched www.StJosephNow.org… they invite you to visit this website and share the link with anyone you think would be interested!
