On February 18th<\/sup>, the 30 days of preparation for the Feast of St. Joseph (March 19) began.<\/p>\n

The sisters of our Institute, Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matar\u00e1, have a special devotion to St. Joseph and since we were founded on his feast day in 1988 we take him as our special protector and patron.<\/p>\n

The Servidoras all over the world, begin a 30 Day Prayer to St. Joseph<\/a> before his feast day, a prayer in honor of the 30 years he spent with Jesus and Mary.<\/p>\n

This year we will be publishing a short video meditation on the Litany of St. Joseph<\/a> for each of the 30 days. These videos can be accessed on our General site, in English<\/a> and in Spanish<\/a>.<\/p>\n
