Praying to St. Joseph in his year: devotion to pious supplications

On 8 December 2020, the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church, Pope Francis issued an Apostolic Letter entitled Patris corde (“With the heart of a father”). In that beautiful letter, the Holy Father proclaimed a "Year of St. Joseph" from 8 December 2020 to 8 December 2021 (See: vaticannews.va). The Apostolic Penitentiary has also issued a Decree granting plenary indulgences for this special year.
