This icon of the Holy Family is travelling round the diocese parish by parish to mark the year of St Joseph which is currently being marked by the universal church. The icon arrived at our church on Friday 19th March 2021.
A suggested prayer for us in connection with this is:
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ grew to maturity.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil.
Amen.
The Icon will be going to Quidenham on Saturday 27 March 2021.
