What must it have been like to grow-up next to St Joseph? Jesus grew-up under the
protective and affectionate gaze of his foster father. In a time when many young people are looking
for father-figures to lead them into their identity and destiny, Pope Francis has inaugurated a year
dedicated to St Joseph pointing the Church to this model of fatherhood and discipleship. Based on
the Litany of St Joseph and their own personal friendship with St Joseph, Fr Gabriel Kyte, CFR and Br
Francois Fontanie, CFR of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal will be leading us in a reflection and
prayer each Wednesday throughout the month of March. Fatherhood and masculinity has been
undermined in our culture but the Lord is faithful and is drawing men and women to find in the
Church sources of authentic fatherhood rooted in the love of God, our Heavenly Father. With the
year of St Joseph our attention has been drawn to him who remains an icon of God the Father for all
of us. St Joseph desires to draw us to Jesus his son to find in Him our identity as sons and daughters.
Join us in this time of prayer as we make the journey from St Joseph’s workshop to the Father’s
House!
