Thank you for the beautiful booklet,
The Great Heart of St. Joseph. Our
Bishop Douglas Deshotel has declared
this year, The Year of St. Joseph. It was
supposed to start on March 19 but, due
to Covid, it has been delayed to August.
We have 13 parishes named St. Joseph
in our Diocese and my church is one of
the thirteen. I would like 100 of the
booklets to be made available to visitors
coming to our church. Your work is so
faithful and you are always reaching
out to love, instruct and bring people
to the Faith. < Charlotte - LA >
Your St. Joseph booklet is the most
incredibly, lovely blessing in booklet
form I have seen. Since I lost my prepandemic
job, will you please send me
30 free booklets to share with others?

Devotion to St. Joseph is growing. I
even heard that some are asking the
Pope to have a Year of St. Joseph. I love
your calendar too. You are right! The
weapons we need to fight sin in the world
are prayer, sacrifice and adoration. Send
as many booklets to us as you can. We
will get them out. < Monastery of
the Most Precious Blood, NH >
Please send 300 more of the St. Joseph
booklets. Fr. Stuart was very pleased
with them. < Katie - KS >
I want to go to Heaven and the only
way I’ll get there is by stealing it
because I cannot merit it. I will never
give up telling God the Father, Jesus
and the Holy Spirit that I love Them. I
keep saying it because others blaspheme
and I want to drown out the awful
sound that it makes. I want my words of
love to wash away the ugliness of the
curses that people vomit from the pit
of their stomachs. I want to caress the
Holy Trinity with simple words of love
that will overpower the hatefulness
of sin. < CP - AZ >
I am writing with sad news. Marcy died
on August 26. It was a blessing as she
was suffering terribly. She had cancer
throughout her body and had taken
a fall which probably broke her hip. Up
until the last three days, she refused
anything for pain. She said, “Jesus
suffered, I can too.” Finally, the pain
got so bad that she agreed to have the
medicine and we were allowed to sit
with her, and say our goodbyes. It was
Marcy who told me about the Living
Rosary and I have been truly blessed.

Marcy wrote to us every year for
nearly the last 20 years to arrange
flowers for St. Philomena on her feast
day. She never mentioned being sick.
May she rest in Eternal Peace!
