Take under your protection the serious and troubling situations that I commend to you, that they may have a happy outcome (here state your request) My beloved father, all my trust is in you.

FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE

Novena and Act of Entrustment to Saint Joseph: Pope Francis proclaimed a “Year of St. Joseph” and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has prepared a novena for use in parishes and homes beginning Tuesday, June 22 and ending Wednesday June 30. The Act of Entrustment will take place on Thursday, July 1st. Texts are prepared in French and English. It is an opportune moment to entrust ourselves and our country to our patron Saint Joseph imploring his intercession for the welfare of the entire country, for the many needs of society, and to pray in particular for those who passed away due to COVID-19. I encourage parishes and families to take this opportunity to seek his intercession and protection. Link to the text: https://en.archoc.ca/year-of-st-joseph.
