Today the Universal Church celebrates Saint Joseph, the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a special day during Lent, when we take a slight pause in our Lenten practices, we sing the Gloria at Mass (and we'll do that again next week for the Annunciation of the Lord), clergy wear white vestments, and we call to mind Joseph's special role as Jesus' father on earth. Although Saint Joseph doesn't have a single line of dialogue in the Scriptures, we know he guided and protected Jesus as he grew.
Tonight at Saint Agnes we'll host a Saint Joseph's Table after a special evening Mass. There will be much celebrating, in true Italian/Sicilian style where there is a special devotion to St. Joseph. Come one and all!
Saint Joseph, pray for us!
