Bishop Bambera proclaimed March 19, 2020 to March 19, 2021 as the Year of Saint Joseph. “Just as Saint Joseph watched over and protected the Lord Jesus while he was on earth, we need Saint Joseph to watch over and provide for the Church today. His intercession on behalf of the Universal Church is vital as the world faces so much upheaval and pain, and particularly as it confronts the uncertainty and pain of the coronavirus epidemic.”
Renew your devotion to Saint Joseph during this commemorative year and seek his powerful intercession to safely guard the Church from all evils, just as he protected the Holy Family from harm. You can download and print this novena and image of Saint Joseph.

Catholic liturgy, especially the Eucharist, is the center of our parish life. We welcome all who come and we strive to make every Sunday a "weekly Easter." We want dynamic liturgies to express a vibrant sense of life in our parish, gratitude for all God's blessings, and confidence that the Spirit will continue to guide us.

Intercessory prayer ministry
If you have a particular need for intercessory prayer or know someone who does, write your request in the prayer request book in the entry area of either church. Every week new intentions are forwarded to our team of intentional prayer-ers. They will pray for your intention.
If you are willing to pray daily for the needs of parishioners and others, join our Intercessory Prayer Ministry. Even those confined at home or elsewhere can serve by praying for others. Your prayers also demonstrate care and compassion for those who may be anxious and in pain. Please give your name and email address (or phone number) to the prayer team leader and you will begin receiving weekly prayer requests. Contact service@stjvp.org
