This page is the portal to all the resources available to you to honor St. Joseph, obtain a plenary indulgence and grow in holiness during the Year of St. Joseph. As we devote an entire year to St. Joseph’s honor, we will undoubtedly unlock many special graces not only for the Diocese of Tucson, but for each of the faithful who increase their devotion to him during this special year. Our need is great, our littleness apparent and there is no greater model than St. Joseph from whom we can learn how to live virtuously in imitation of Jesus and Mary.
“Devotion to St. Joseph is one of the choicest graces that God can give to a soul, for it is tantamount to revealing the entire treasury of our Lord’s graces ... When God wishes to raise a soul to greater heights, he unites it to St. Joseph by giving it a strong love for the good saint.” - St. Peter Julian Eymard
