    Diocesan Prayer to Saint Joseph O Blessed Saint Joseph, foster-father of our Savior, we the faithful of the local Church in Paterson come before you on this Holy Year dedicated to you. During this year, we ask your fatherly protection and guidance.  Continue to watch over our parish families throughout the diocese, and, in particular, those named in your honor and loving memory. As you always protected the Holy Family, protect our families and friends in this time of need. As we consecrate our families in your honor, pray for us, and lead us to your Son, who promised to be with us always, even until the ends of the earth. We pray through Him whom you watched over as your own child, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
    We pray for all the children of the world, especially those who have been abused physically, emotionally or mentally; may they receive the healing they need, the voice they are due and the justice they deserve.
    Venerable Fulton J. Sheen Pray for us!
    Venerable Pope John Paul I Pray for us!
    Anne Lundgren We miss your presence and love each and every day! Pray for us now that you are with the Father! Keep a watchful eye over your parish, your office and your priest.
    Father Michael J. Burke Rest in Peace! Your family in Newton misses you dearly! "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek!" (Hebrews 7:17).
    "If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts!" (Psalm 95)
