In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Blessed Pope Pius IX’s declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church, Pope Francis proclaimed a special “Year of St. Joseph.”

This year, dedicated to our beloved patron St. Joseph, will allow us an important opportunity to increase our knowledge and love for him, “to encourage us to implore his intercession and to imitate his virtues and his zeal" (Patris Corde).

Archbishop Bernard Hebda wrote, “Our hope is that the Year of Saint Joseph will be a source of renewal in our local Church, most especially as we continue our preparations for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis Synod of 2022.”
