Please join us as we pray that the Red River Valley will be spared from a devasting flood in 2011.
Holy St. Joseph, faithful Guardian of the Redeemer and Spouse of the Virgin Mary, we humbly and confidently beseech your intercession and help. So trustworthy are you that God the Father entrusted you with His greatest treasures, Jesus His beloved Son and Mary His Blessed Mother. Therefore, with sure and grateful confidence, we now entrust ourselves and all that we have to you so that you may watch over us, protect us, and obtain for us all that the Father wants us to receive. May you guard over Cardinal Muench Seminary, all the people of the Red River valley, and provide for all our temporal needs. Protect from harm all who assist us in this hour of danger. May all that we do be in harmony with the will of God and for His greater glory. Amen.
