Ascension Catholic Church 

In celebration of the 150th anniversary of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church, Pope Francis has proclaimed a Holy Year in his honor.
On December 8, 2020, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, Pope Francis issed the apostolic letter Patris Corde (With a Father's Heart), calling on the Church to follow St. Joseph's powerful example of quiet obedience, courage and tenderness and to pray to him for the "grace of graces: our conversion."
The Holy Father writes: "Each of us can discover in Joseph - the man who goes unnoticed, a daily, discreet and hidden presence - an intercessor, a support and a guide in times of trouble.  St. Joseph reminds us that those who appear hidden or in the shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of salvation."

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH
(This prayer, from a 19th century French payer book, has been recited by Pope Francis every day for more than 40 years (cf. Patris Corde. +10)
Glorius Patriarch Saint Joseph, whose power makes the impossible possible, come to my aid in these times of anguish and difficulty.  Take under your protection the serious and troubling situations that I commend to you, that they may have a happy outcome (here make your request).
My beloved father, all my trust is in you.  Let it not be said that I invoked you in vain, and since you can do everything with Jesus and Mary, show me that your goodness is as great as your power.
Amen.
