The Year of St Joseph

17th January 2021 Comments Off on The Year of St Joseph

Pope Francis has announced a year of St Joseph in honor of the 150^th anniversary of the Saints proclamation as patron of the universal Church. The year began on December 8^th 2020 and will run until the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (Dec 8^th 2021). Here at St Joseph’s we have special reason to embrace this year and will commence our celebrations with a Mass on March 19^th the feast of St Joseph. We will then continue through the year with reflections, information and more practical ways in which we can discover more about this great saint whose discreet hidden presence goes by largely unnoticed on a daily basis. Do watch for more information on this special year in the life of the parish.
