Prayer Requests
The Sleeping Saint Joseph
The Sleeping Saint Joseph is a South American devotional practice said to be a favorite of Pope Francis.
The tradition suggests that one writes down their need and places the slip of paper under the statue of the Sleeping Saint Joseph. We keep our statue of Sleeping Saint Joseph in the pastor's private chapel. Prayer requests submitted via the form above will also be placed in the basket with our Sleeping Saint Joseph.
Prayer to Sleeping Saint Joseph
O, Saint Joseph, you are a man greatly favored by the Most High. The angel of the Lord appeared to you in dreams, while you slept, to warn you and guide you as you cared for the Holy Family. You were both silent and strong, a loyal and courageous protector.
O Saint Joseph, as you rest in the Lord, confident of His absolute power and goodness, look upon me. Please take my need (mention your request) into your heart, dream of it, and present it to your Son. Help me then, good Saint Joseph, to hear the voice of God, to arise, and act with love. Amen!
