The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
Friday, December 31
The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, is not a Holy
Day of Obligation this year...It is a
Holy Day of Opportunity. On this holy feast day, we
have the opportunity, as we start our new year, to honor our Blessed Mother, who in
her “yes” to God brought our Savior into the world to
redeem us.

From our Pastor, Father John Lynam
On the 150th anniversary of Pope Pius IX declaring St. Joseph as the Universal Patron of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis has declared a year dedicated to St. Joseph. The Church supplies spiritual means in which we can obtain spiritual graces to deepen our relationship with the Lord and His Church. Below you will find fifteen ways to take advantage of this beautiful year. These acts must be accompanied by sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the pope’s intentions, the usual conditions to obtain any plenary indulgence. According to the decree issued by the Apostolic Penitentiary on Dec. 8, there are 15 ways to
receive an indulgence in the Year of St. Joseph:
1) Participate in a spiritual retreat for at least one day that includes a meditation on St. Joseph.
2) Pray for St. Joseph’s intercession for the unemployed that they might find dignifying work.
3) Recite the Litany of St. Joseph for persecuted Christians. Byzantine Catholics have the option of an Akathist to St. Joseph.
4) Entrust one’s daily work and activity to the protection of St. Joseph the Worker.
5) Follow St. Joseph’s example in performing a corporal work of mercy. These include feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless, visiting the imprisoned, visiting the sick, and burying the dead.
6) Perform one of the spiritual works of mercy, such as comforting the sorrowful, counseling the doubtful, instructing the ignorant, admonishing the sinner, bearing wrongs patiently, forgiving injuries, and praying for the living and the dead.
7) Pray the rosary together with one’s family in order that “all Christian families may be stimulated to recreate the same atmosphere of intimate communion, love and prayer that was in the Holy Family.”
8) Engaged couples can also receive an indulgence from praying the rosary together.
9) Meditate for at least 30 minutes on the Lord’s Prayer, because St. Joseph “invites us to rediscover our filial relationship with the Father, to renew fidelity to prayer, to listen and correspond with profound discernment to God’s will.”
10) Pray an approved prayer to St. Joseph on St. Joseph Sunday, the Sunday after Christmas in the Byzantine Catholic tradition.
11) Celebrate the feast of St. Joseph on March 19 with an act of piety in honor of St. Joseph.
12) Pray an approved prayer to St. Joseph on the 19th of any month.
13) Honor Joseph with an act of piety or approved prayer on a Wednesday, the day traditionally dedicated to St. Joseph.
14) Pray to St. Joseph on the Feast of the Holy Family on Dec. 27. 15) Celebrate the feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1 with an act of piety or prayer.
