Take Mary Into Your Home

During our 175^th Anniversary celebration of Saint Joseph Parish (March 2026 – March 2027), we are excited to introduce The Pilgrim Statue of the Expectant Madonna — a beautiful tradition that brings the Blessed Mother and Child Jesus into the homes of our parish community. 
 
Each week during our celebratory year, this beautiful small statue of Blessed Mary with the Child Jesus — blessed for us by Bishop McIntyre in March 2026 — will travel from one parish family to another. 
 
Just as our patron Saint Joseph welcomed Expectant Mary into his home, we too do the same.  
 
During your week with the Pilgrim Statue, you are encouraged to: 

1. Make a special spot in your home to place and honor the statue; a place of prayer where you can gather with your family.  
     
2. You may choose to pray the rosary or other prayers of your choice.  (See the provided booklet and make it your own.)            
     
3. Remember the intentions of your family members, our parish family, and those intentions that may be closest to Our Lord.   
     
4. Finally, share your experience of having the Pilgrim Statue in your home on the card that is provided.
