For centuries Catholics have also a parish. Having this dual role makes St. Joseph’s dedicated the month of May to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In different than any other in the state. As the this month of new life, new growth and blessings, it is good Cathedral, we are blessed to host many extra liturgical for us to look at the faith of Mary. At the Visitation, ceremonies and welcome many guests to our church. As a Elizabeth said to Mary:“Blessed are you who believed that parish, we are blessed to have many people who call St. what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” Joseph’s their home parish, along with visitors who join us When we think of our Blessed Mother, we recognize that she for daily or Sunday Masses.  is indeedblessed, not only because she was the Mother of If you have been attending Mass at St. Joseph’s as a , but because she believed in the Lord’s words.

She is our model of faith and she helps us with her prayers to live by faith. She teaches us to “Marathon” during May believe as she believed. During this month of May, we honor our Blessed Mother in The Vatican has announced a rosary initiative dedicating the a special way. Saint Paul VI wrote a short encyclical month of May to prayer for an end to the coronavirus on the month of May in 1965. He wrote that May is an pandemic with the theme Prayer to God went up incessantly occasion for a “moving tribute of faith and love which from the whole Church (Acts12:5). Thirty of the world’s Catholics in every part of the world pay to the Queen of Catholic shrines will lead livestreamed rosary at noon Heaven...

In this month, too, the benefits of God’s mercy prayer on May 1, asking for the intercession of our Blessed come down to us from her throne in greater abundance.” Mother Mary. All Catholics, individuals, families and I encourage each of us to pay particular attention to our communities, are encouraged to dedicate the Marian month Blessed Mother during this month. Many churches and of May to praying for an end to the pandemic. schools have celebrations of the crowning of images of Our Lady. This is a beautiful custom that expresses our love for the Mother of God as our Queen. Other Marian devotions are particularly fitting in the month of May. Of course, praying the Rosary is always a wonderful devotion to enter more deeply into the mysteries of Christ’s life with Mary. To Jesus through Mary, all honor that we give to Mary is ordered to, and leads to, the adoration of God. Devotion to Mary fosters within us a faithful adherence to her Son. When we crown images of Mary, we are honoring her. In honoring Mary, we are ultimately praising God for the grace He bestowed on her. Looking around the Cathedral you will find many images of Mary, in windows, in paintings, and statues. The many images and devotions express various aspects of Our Lady’s vocation and mission. They help us to know the virtues of Mary and remind us to turn to her for her intercession. I invite you to pray with Mary during this Marian month. Let us especially commend to her our parish and our prayers for life, marriage, vocations, and the many personal intentions of each of us. Let us all place ourselves at the feet of Mary to learn from her how to love God more fervently and to love one another as her Son has loved us. May the Blessed Virgin Mary intercede for us and draw us closer to her Son! In Christ, Fr. Jason FNJLJǕlj SǖǏDžǂǚ ǐLJ EǂǔǕdžǓ  Upcoming Confirmation and   First Holy Communion    Please pray for the children of the parish who will  celebrate the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Holy Communion on May 16.They are  all continuing in formation with their  parents.
