GO TO ST. JOSEPH!

Article from Northwest Catholic by: Corinnna Laughlin and Jean Parietti
Western Washington loves St. Joseph! More parishes in the Archdiocese of Seattle are named for St. Joseph than for any other saint — except Mary. From Ferndale to Vancouver, from Sequim to Yacolt, a dozen parishes and missions are named in honor of the saint Pope Francis calls the guardian of Jesus and Mary.
During this Year of St. Joseph, you can make a pilgrimage to one or more of these local churches, pray the St. Joseph prayer and then explore nearby activities to create a fun summer day or weekend trip with family or friends. (Because of COVID, check to make sure the attractions are open.) Please go here to find out more...

THE YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH PRAYER
To you, O blessed Joseph (Ad te, beate Ioseph)
To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our afflictions, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke your patronage also.
Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessities.
O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness.
As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.
