Protector and Patron of The Universal Church
Congratulations and Happy Feast Day
Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny
As Pope Francis wrote in his Apostolic Letter, ‘Patris Corde’, St. Joseph is described as having a ‘Father’s Heart’.
“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. Saint Joseph reminds us that those who appear hidden or in the shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of salvation. A word of recognition and of gratitude is due to them all.”
On this feast of St. Joseph, Protector and Patron of the Universal Church and Patron of our Missionary Congregation, we pray that we too may ‘go to Joseph’ in our need and that like him we may live the qualities of this man …
St. Joseph, pray for us
May we be like you…

Memorare Prayer of St. Joseph
Remember, O most pure Spouse of the Virgin Mary, my kindand powerful Protector, Saint Joseph, that no one ever had recourse to Your protection or implored your aid, without obtaining relief. Confiding therefore in your goodness, we come to you, and humbly implore you. Despise not our petitions, O Foster-Father of the Redeemer, but graciously hear and grant them. Amen.
