On March 19, special services were held in the Church Crypt of Saint Joseph's Oratory in honour of the feast of the patron saint of workers, the sick, the dying and fathers of families in Canada. In addition, we must note that Pope Francis has dedicated this year especially to St. Joseph.

This year, time seems to be dragging by... But why not take advantage of that, by getting ready for the best Easter of your life?

On March 25, the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life, in collaboration with the Dicastery for Communication, will inaugurate an initiative dedicated to the Apostolic Exhortation, five years after its publication. Ten families from around the world will offer their video testimonies reflecting on the papal document. Cardinal Farrell calls it "an invitation to understand today’s challenges and the blessings of family life."

Pope Francis releases a message for the World Day of Prayer for Vocations, and urges all religious and clergy to look to St. Joseph as a model of unreserved fidelity to God’s invitation to service.

Officials from the Dicastery for Laity, the Family and Life, along with a married couple, introduce the Year “Amoris Laetitia Family,” which begins on March 19 – the Solemnity of St Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
