![]() The novena invites the faithful to reflect each day on a short prayer from Pope Francis, to offer a decade of the rosary, and to conclude with a prayer for Pope Francis written by the Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus, Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, USA. The daily reflection prayers consist of excerpts drawn from Pope Francis’ series of catecheses on Saint Joseph given during his General Audiences in late 2021 and early 2022. The novena aims to offer the Church's prayerful support for Pope Francis' pastoral ministry as March 13th will mark ten years since his election as Pope and March 19th the ten year anniversary of his installation. The Novena will start on Sunday, 12 March, and conclude on Monday, 20 March, the day when the Solemnity of Saint Joseph has been transferred, since the traditional date of the Feast on 19 March falls on a Sunday of Lent this year. The Knights of Columbus have announced a special nine-day prayer initiative to Saint Joseph for Pope Francis in view of the tenth year anniversary of his pontificate. ![]()
