St. Joseph and the Sacrifice of the Mass

ROGERIO BARBOSO
Worshippers pray during Mass Oct. 17, 2010, inside St. Joseph’s Oratory in Montreal. More than 1,000 Quebecers gathered to pray as their beloved Brother Andre Bessette was declared a saint. St. Andre, who died in 1937 at the age of 91, had a deep devotion to St. Joseph. Over the years, St. Joseph has been increasingly honored in the Mass.
