Celebrating Saint Joseph

The CCCB Office for Evangelization and Catechesis, the Office for Family and Life, the National Liturgy Office and the Office national de liturgie created this online resource page that offers various prayers, devotions, catechetical resources for adults and children, as well as Church documents, all of which are dedicated to Saint Joseph.

On 8 December 2020, Pope Francis announced a聽Year of St. Joseph聽to mark the 150th anniversary of the proclamation by Pope Pius IX of聽St. Joseph as the Patron of the Universal Church.

Please note that a Consecration to Saint Joseph is also available for dioceses/eparchies, parishes, religious communities, families (domestic churches) and schools.

The CCCB chose “Joseph and the Child,” by Saskatchewan artist Gisele Bauche as its official image for the special Year. The image evokes the extraordinary qualities of Saint Joseph as a beloved, tender and loving, obedient, accepting, creatively courageous, working father hidden in the shadows as described in Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter Patris Corde. (cf. No 1-7).
