Starting
Pray at Mass
Every Sunday, together we will be reciting a prayer after mass to mark another week completed of our consecration.
Read Daily Reflections
Written by the Friars of our parish, everyday we will receive reflections through email on the beautiful life of St. Joseph and the lessons we can learn from him and Saints who had a devotion to him.
Join the Small Group
Join an optional small group that will meet once a week to dive deeper into what we are discovering on the Journey with Joseph.
Parish-wide Prayer to St. Joseph
As a parish, we will recite the below prayer at each Sunday Mass during the Journey.
O Protector of my Redeemer, O Spouse of the Virgin Mother, good Saint Joseph, be my father, my guardian, and my guide.
O Glorious Patron of the Church, to you do I come, entrusting myself to your care.
I place my life in your hands—my health, my work, my relationships—help me to offer everything to God.
O Leader of the Holy Family, defend me from evil, help me to love Jesus and Mary as you did, and guide me through the troubles of this world to the peace of Heaven. There may I rejoice with you, glorifying the Most Holy Trinity for ever and ever. Amen.Whether you are deeply devoted to St. Joseph or meeting him for the first time, this prayer invites us to entrust the ordinary and the difficult parts of our lives to his fatherly care.
Daily Reflections from the Friars
Each day of the Journey with Joseph, we will pause, reflect, and place our life more fully in God’s hands through the example of St. Joseph.
Our Friars have thoughtfully written daily reflections that guide us through St. Joseph's life and charisms, introducing us to Saints to journey with along the way. These reflections will be emailed to you daily, as well as printed in pamphlets. Following each daily reflection, recite The Litany to St. Joseph to further your meditation and invoke St. Joseph’s intercession.
Each day is coupled with a piece of art to help us meditate on that particular theme.
Litany to St. Joseph
After each daily reflection, recite this Litany to St. Joseph to further meditate on his role and draw closer to his Son.
