March brings us the feast days of two beloved saints: St. Patrick on March 17 and St. Joseph on March 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though they lived centuries apart, both are shining examples of what it means to trust God, even when the path ahead is uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think of St. Patrick. He was kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a young man, forced to work as a shepherd. After gaining his freedom and returning home, he felt God calling him back to the very land where he was once enslaved to share the message of God\u2019s love. That is bold faith!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The there is St. Joseph. When God called him to be Mary\u2019s husband and the protector of Jesus, Joseph did not have all the answers, but he listened, trusted and acted with courage. When danger came, he led his family to safety in Egypt, following God\u2019s direction each step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We invite you to send us the names<\/a> anyone you would like us to remember in our prayers and Masses for these special feast days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you send your prayer intentions, we invite you to consider making a gift<\/a> to support the Passionists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like Saints Patrick and Joseph, we walk with those who are suffering or searching for hope. Your support helps us continue that mission through our prayers, ministries and presence with those who need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are grateful for your prayers and generosity. Please know we are keeping you and your loved ones in our prayers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
