THE YEAR OF ST JOSEPH was proclaimed by Pope Francis last Dec 8, 2020, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
The Apostolic Penitentiary issued a Decree granting plenary indulgences for the year of St. Joseph proclaimed by Pope Francis on Tuesday. The special year will last from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021.

By Vatican News staff writer

Pope Francis on Tuesday announced a special year dedicated to St. Joseph starting from 8 December 2020 until 8 December 2021, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of St. Joseph as the Patron of the Universal Church, as well as the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady.

The Apostolic Penitentiary also issued a decree granting special indulgences for the duration of the special year to celebrate the anniversary and “to perpetuate the entrustment of the whole Church to the powerful patronage of the Custodian of Jesus.”

During this period, the faithful will have the opportunity to commit themselves “with prayer and good works, to obtain, with the help of St. Joseph, head of the heavenly Family of Nazareth, comfort and relief from the serious human and social tribulations that besiege the contemporary world today.”

Devotion to St. Joseph
The decree signed by Cardinal Mauro Piacenza, the Major Penitentiary of the Apostolic Penitentiary, and the Regent, Fr. Krzysztof Nykiel, notes that devotion to St. Joseph has grown extensively throughout the history of the Church, “which not only attributes to him high reverence after that of the Mother of God his spouse but has also given him multiple patronages.”

At the same time, the Magisterium of the Church continues to discover “old and new greatness in this treasure which is St. Joseph, like the master in the Gospel of Matthew who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old.”

Therefore, the gift of indulgences granted through a decree of the Apostolic Penitentiary by mandate of the Holy Father “will be of great benefit to the perfect attainment of the appointed purpose.”
St Antoninus Parish
33-Day Consecration to St Joseph, following Fr Donald Calloway's book.

  • Starting date is January 1, 2021 and Consecration date is Tuesday, February 2, the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus.

  • We would spend about 20-30 minutes a day on the following: short exposition on one of the invocations in the powerful Litany of St. Joseph, a reading on St. Joseph and the recitation of the Litany of St. Joseph.

  • If you would like to participate in this, you would need to purchase the book. It will cost $15 for the book, or $10 for ebook or $20 for audio book. Order directly HERE.

Welcome to Consecration to St. Joseph! You are about to begin a journey that will change your life.

What does it mean to consecrate yourself to St. Joseph?
What does it mean for a person to be consecrated to St. Joseph? Well, it basically means that you acknowledge that he is your spiritual father, and you want to be like him. To show it, you entrust yourself entirely into his paternal care so that he can help you acquire his virtues and become holy. Total consecration to St. Joseph means you make a formal act of filial entrustment to your spiritual father so that he can take care of your spiritual well-being and lead you to God. The person who consecrates himself to St. Joseph wants to be as close to their spiritual father as possible, to the point of resembling him in virtue and holiness. Saint Joseph, in turn, will give those consecrated to him his undivided attention, protection, and guidance.
By Fr Donald Calloway.

As Fr Joseph put it in his Advent letter : "In special way during this Holy Season of Advent, we will meet Jesus in the poor and suffering through our neighborhood Christmas Caroling Outreach on Sunday, December 20th."

During this Caroling Outreach, we will be handing out our Christmas gifts to our brothers and sisters in the neighborhood.

Where will these gifts come from? From our Christmas Giving Tree.

Our Giving Tree was set up last Sunday, on the first day of Advent. To avoid crowding around the tree, the gift tags have been placed on a table in the church entrance. All gifts are to be placed under the Giving Tree.
Or if you prefer, download the digitized gift tags below. To see the selections, click here
