Jesus, Mary and Joseph, unite our hearts with yours!
You are invited to join Bishop Gregory Parkes as he consecrates the Diocese of St. Petersburg to St. Joseph on Saturday, May 1, 2021, at the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle at 12 noon during a 30-minute prayer service. This special event is part of the Holy Father’s invitation to celebrate the Year of St. Joseph.
Consecration means to make holy with God’s help and it’s an opportunity to respond faithfully to God’s grace at work in our lives.
Join us at the Cathedral (5815 5th Ave N, St. Petersburg) or via Livestream at dosp.org/livestream, Facebook, YouTube or via radio broadcast on Spirit FM 90.5.
St. Joseph is the patron and protector of the Catholic Church and the patron saint of fathers.
