🔥 ST JOSEPH YOUNG ADULT LENTEN RETREAT 🔥
“Behold the Cross”

There comes a moment…
when we are invited to stop,
to look at the Cross,
and to ask ourselves — where do I stand with God?

This Holy Week preparation is not just another event.
It is an invitation.

An invitation to lay down your burdens
to surrender your struggles
to return to God with your whole heart

Come and walk the road to Calvary.
Come and encounter the depth of Christ’s love.
Come and experience His mercy, His forgiveness, His call back to you.

No matter where you are in your faith…
No matter what you’re carrying…
This is your moment to reconcile, renew, and recommit.

✝️ Step into Holy Week ready.
✝️ Stand at the foot of the Cross.
✝️ Let God transform your life.

📅 Friday 27 – Sunday 29 March
📍 St Joseph Parish, Levin / St Mary Parish, Otaki

🔥 Speakers:
Fr Simione, Fr Beniata & Sr Sosefina

🙏 Come, encounter God’s mercy.

Saint Joseph is honored in Christianity as the husband of the Virgin Mary and the foster-father of Jesus, admired for his silent strength, deep faith, and humble obedience to God. Although he never speaks in the Bible, his actions reflect unwavering trust, especially when he accepted Mary’s divine pregnancy after an angel’s message. A skilled craftsman or tekton, he provided for and protected the Holy Family, embodying the role of a devoted father and worker. Coming from the lineage of King David, he also established Jesus’ rightful heritage. Tradition holds that he died peacefully in the presence of Jesus and Mary, which led to his recognition as the patron of a happy death. Today, Saint Joseph is revered as the patron of the Universal Church, workers, fathers, families, and many others, with his primary feast celebrated on March 19.

🙏🏽: "St. Joseph, guardian of Jesus and spouse of Mary, you gave your all to the Holy Family. Protect my family, assist me in my needs, and guide my steps toward God. Pray for us, St. Joseph. Amen.”
