*Monday, March 20th - Feast of St. Joseph

“Lent is a time when we rediscover that we are our brothers’ keepers, called to be Good Shepherds who protect others from harm and Good Samaritans who cross the road to care for those in need. St. Joseph shows us how. He guarded Mary’s life and reputation against the possibility of death by stoning as a result of her having become pregnant outside of marital intimacy. He protected Jesus and Mary from Herod’s henchmen. He provided for them through his hard work, which was a constant almsgiving done out of love. Pope Leo XIII, commenting on why Pius IX declared St. Joseph patron of the Universal Church, said: ‘The reasons why St. Joseph must be considered the special patron of the Church... chiefly arise from his having been ... in his day the lawful and natural guardian, head and defender of the Holy Family.... It is thus fitting and most worthy of Joseph’s dignity that, in the same way that he once kept unceasing holy watch over the family of Nazareth, so now does he protect and defend with his heavenly patronage the Church of Christ.’

This Lenten season, ... is a time for us to place ourselves anew under Joseph’s protection and patronage, in imitation of Jesus and Mary.” - Father Roger J. Landry, priest of the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts (March 6, 2023)

* The feast of St. Joseph is observed this year on March 20th due to the 19th being a Sunday.
