YEAR OF SAINT JOSEPH

YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH

Catholics around the world rejoice over the Holy Father's proclamation of the Holy Year of St. Joseph, which began on December 8, 2020 and ends December 8, 2021. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia will begin its official observance of this holy year after the New Year. The entire Archdiocese of Philadelphia is encouraged to spend this year growing closer to St. Joseph, honoring him, imitating his virtues and asking for his intercession. May this be a year of great grace for all of us as we grow closer to our spiritual father! 

A website has been set up with resources and events for our Archdiocesan observance of the Year of St. Joseph. Check it out and come back often for updates at:  archphila.org/joseph.
