Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Solemnity)
2026-03-19
On March 19th, the church celebrates the Solemnity of St. Joseph, spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, patron of Canada and the universal church. On March 25th, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord is celebrated. In obedience to God’s call, St. Joseph trusted God’s plan for his life, taking Mary as his wife. In his apostolic letter, Patris Corde, Pope Francis describes St. Joseph as a loving, obedient, courageous father, often working in the shadows. He encourages the church to pray to St. Joseph for protection and guidance.

Prayer Vigil for Peace
2026-04-11
Pope Leo XIV requests the faithful join him in a prayer vigil for peace on April 11th, the eve of Divine Mercy Sunday, at St. Peter’s Basilica, as an appeal for an end to war and the restoration of dialogue. The Holy Father noted, “We are growing accustomed to violence,” and warned of “resigning ourselves to it, and becoming indifferent.”

Please join the Holy Father and the global Catholic community in prayer for this important cause.
