Happy solemnity of St. Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary!!! And happy feast to all who bear the name of Joseph or have him as a patron!

The three communities at the General House joined to celebrate St. Joseph, who is regarded as Protector of the Congregation and Patron of Oblate Brothers. The Mass was celebrated by Fr. Fénélon SYLFRARD.

St. Joseph was one of the Founder’s patrons. He once wrote: “In Heaven, Jesus Christ, Mary and Joseph are just as inseparable as they were on earth. I believe this most certainly…” (To Father Guigues, March 23, 1832).
