Join us in praying the Novena to the Chaste Heart of St. Joseph.

We know that St. Joseph lived a very holy life, and the Church honors him in many ways. St. Joseph is recognized as the patron saint of the Church, fathers, carpenters, workers, and married people. But St. Joseph is also a great saint to honor for his chastity. 

As the husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph was pure and chaste. He allowed Mary to remain a virgin for the rest of her life, according to God’s will.

Our modern society does not always value chastity as it should. Chastity is a very important virtue, but many people in our world today do not recognize its significance. We can turn to the intercession and example of St. Joseph as we strive to practice chastity in our modern world.

Let’s offer prayers in this Novena to the Chaste Heart of St. Joseph so that chastity may flourish in our hearts and in our world.
