March: Month of St. Joseph
Every month in the Catholic Church is dedicated to a particular devotion; for March, it is Saint Joseph. This is due to the principal feast of Saint Joseph being celebrated on March 19th. This date was chosen to honor and commemorate his role as the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus Christ. It usually falls during the season of Lent and provides an opportunity to consider and embrace the sacrifice and suffering of Saint Joseph as he lived each moment in God’s will and anticipated the inevitable passion of his beloved foster Son.

The Memorare
REMEMBER , O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
