Pope Francis has proclaimed a “Year of St. Joseph” from December 8, 2020—December 8, 2021. During this time after Christmas and with the beginning of the New Year 2021, let us devote more time to St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church and the head of the Holy Family and a role model for our families. May the beautiful statue of St. Joseph in our church remind you about the importance of having a family and within the family to have a father. May the Holy Family and St. Joseph protect you.
