Pope Francis has declared this year the Year of St. Joseph. In doing so, the Holy Father is inviting us to place our prayers to God in the trust of St. Joseph, and to be inspired by his example as we live out our roles in the family, especially those of husbands and fathers. It gives us a good opportunity to pray for the husbands and fathers in our families, but also for the entire Church. He who powerfully and carefully guided the life of the young Jesus can be trusted to care for us and guide us as we journey towards the Father. We encourage you to learn about St. Joseph and to seek his intercession and take advantage of some of these opportunities in this Year of St. Joseph.
