Saint Joseph,
I, your unworthy child, greet you. You are the faithful protector and intercessor of all who love and venerate you. You know that I have special confidence in you and that, after Jesus and Mary, I place all my hope of salvation in you, for you are especially powerful with God and will never abandon your faithful servants.
Therefore, I humbly invoke you and commend myself, with all who are dear to me and all that belong to me, to your intercession. I beg of you, by your love for Jesus and Mary, not to abandon me during life and to assist me at the hour of my death.
Glorious Saint Joseph, spouse of the Immaculate Virgin, obtain for me a pure, humble, charitable mind, and perfect resignation to the divine Will. Be my guide, my father, and my model through life that I may merit to die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary.
Loving Saint Joseph, faithful follower of Jesus Christ, I raise my heart to you to implore your powerful intercession in obtaining from the Divine Heart of Jesus all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare, particularly the grace of a happy death, and the special grace I now implore: (Mention your request).
Guardian of the Word Incarnate, I feel confident that your prayers on my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God. Amen.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
Annunciation Novena ~ March 17 – 25

Most loving Mother, attracted by your beauty and sweetness, and by your tender compassion, I confidently turn to you, miserable as I am, and beg of you to obtain for me from your dear Son the favor I request in this novena: (mention your request).
You were greeted by the Archangel and surrendered yourself to God’s will. Obtain for me also, Queen of heaven, a zealous desire to follow God’s will for my life. May I live closely those virtues which you practiced so faithfully, especially humility, purity and obedience.
Above all, I beg you to be my Mother and Protectress, to receive me into the number of your devoted children, and to guide me from your high throne of glory. Do not reject my petitions, Mother of Mercy, but present them to your Divine Son! Have pity on me, and do not abandon me during life or at the moment of my death. Amen.
A novena book has been created and printed In recognition of Saint Teresa Parish's 25th anniversary year. Many of the novenas in the book center around the great Carmelite saints of the Church along with others who have a connection to her, including our Blessed Mother and St. Joseph. Novenas that mark holy days of obligation or feasts of the Church year, along with a few additional saints, are also included. There is also journaling space to write your personal prayer intentions through the year.
Trusting in the power of prayer and the intercession of the saints in heaven, let us embrace this year of celebration with intentional prayer and thanksgiving for God’s blessing upon all who gather at any of parishes in Dearborn County and beyond. Copies of the novena book are available at St. Lawrence, St. Mary’s and St. Teresa parishes and the Lourdes Chapel.
You can access the booklet, a list of celebration dates for the year, and the Litany of Carmelite Saints by clicking on the buttons above (St. Teresa was a Carmelite Sister).
