Saint Joseph Feast Day Novena
“Ite ad Joseph. Go to Joseph with extreme confidence, because I do not remember having asked anything from St. Joseph, without having obtained it readily.”
– Padre Pio
Daily: Wednesday, March 10 – Thursday, March 18
8:00 AM – 8:10 AM
Scroll down for Zoom link & phone number to join the call.
This is a public event – invite anyone who would like to pray with us!
Join us as we come together as a community in nine days of prayer leading up to the Feast of Saint Joseph.
Building toward the Feast of Saint Joseph, our novena will include a brief reflection and prayer each morning. We will all pray together the Novena Prayer (found below).
The call begins at 8:00 AM every morning, and we anticipate that it will last between 5-10 minutes. On March 18th, the final day of the novena, you are welcome to pray the rosary with us after the normal prayer.
This novena is dedicated to the members of the Society of Saint Joseph and their special prayer intentions.
We hope you will join us in praying for this special group of people who have dedicated a gift in their estate plan for our local Church.
Help us celebrate the year of Saint Joseph by praying for our Society members.
The Society of Saint Joseph is managed by the Catholic Community Foundation in partnership with the Office of Stewardship and Development at the Diocese of San Jose. The Catholic Community Foundation and The Roman Catholic Diocese of San Jose are independent Catholic organizations. We are pleased to partner together to fulfill our common vision for our local Church.

Novena Prayer
Good Saint Joseph, ever watchful guardian of the Holy Family, protect the chosen people of Jesus Christ, keep us free from the blight of error and corruption, and be our ally in the conflict with the powers of darkness. As of old you rescued the child Jesus from the plots of Herod, so now defend the universal Church from all harm. Keep us one and all under your continual protection, so that by your help and example, we may lead a holy life, die a happy death, and come to possess eternal life in heaven.
Amen.
