 A note from Father Gregory
On March 19, our Catholic faith community celebrates the Feast of St. Joseph, Patron of the Church. First established in 1847 by Pope Pius IX, this Solemnity has become very popular through the years, especially among Catholics of Italian heritage, who credit St. Joseph with having sent rain to save a town in Sicily threatened with drought and famine. The fava bean has become a symbol of this legend.
In Spain and Portugal, as well as in Italy, March 19 is actually celebrated as Father's Day to honor St. Joseph!
Access a special prayer in honor of St. Joseph, Patron of the Church.
The Salvatorian Easter Novena begins Easter Sunday, April 4.
Send your intentions to be placed near the altar at St. Gregory's Church in St. Nazianz, Wisconsin. There they will be remembered on Easter morning and in all our Masses and prayers throughout our Easter Novena, April 4-13.
Please use this form to send us your St. Joseph and Easter intentions. And may our Savior bless you and those you love always.

A Prayer at Lent
Dearest Savior,
May these forty days of Lent
bring us ever closer to you.
May we use them to recall the gifts you
made of your love, your Passion,
and your very Body and Blood.
May our meager sacrifices of time, talents,
and treasure, of doing with and doing
without, better prepare us for the joys
of Easter, and certain knowledge of
your victory over sin and death.
We ask this in your Most Holy Name.
Amen.
