Novena and Act of Entrustment to St Joseph
-
Dear fellow parishioners and friends,
In solidarity with the Holy Father’s proclamation of a “Year of St. Joseph”, all parishes and parishioners are invited to celebrate an Act of Entrustment to St. Joseph on Thursday, July 1st (Canada Day). We are advised that, while complying with COVID-19 restrictions, parishes may celebrate in the church itself or parishioner may celebrate at home. We will celebrate Mass July 1st at 8:00 am in our parish churches with the Act of Entrustment which will be preceded for 9 days by a Novena, beginning on Tuesday, June 22, and ending on Wednesday, June 30, imploring St. Joseph’s intercession for the welfare of the entire country, for the many needs of society, and to pray in particular for those who passed away due to COVID-19. We will pray the Novena at our daily Masses and parishioners are invited to pray the novena also at home.
Please note that the resource is also available on the CCCB website in both French and English: https://www.cccb.ca/evangelization-catechesis- catholic-education/ celebrating-the-year-of-saint- joseph/novena-and-act-of- entrustment-to-saint-joseph/
