On Monday, the Solemnity of St. Joseph; Principal Patron of Canada, members of Knights of Columbus Council #12465 and parishioners of St. Mary’s Holy Family Parish in Kensington gathered for the prayer service before the Pilgrim Icon of St. Joseph.

As stated at the beginning of the program for this Holy Hour:

St. Joseph offered his life in service and sacrifice to the
Holy Family by following the will of God. As we gather to
honor the Guardian of the Redeemer, let us ask God for that
same trust and courage to embrace our own roles as guardians
of the family and the truth.

Prayer Service in Honor of St. Joseph

May God continue to be with us and our families as we journey to Easter.
