Broadcast:  Hello to Our Saint Joseph Regional School Families and Friends,

Here is our link for today’s news:  https://youtu.be/l3vGEhLf6VY

Sister Judy did a magnificent job of creating a virtual May Crowning for our students.

She begins with reciting The Hail Mary.

She moves on to singing Hail Mary, Gentle Woman.  Sister Judy has a beautiful voice and she asks that you follow these words and sing a long with her.

Pope Francis Prayer to Blessed Mother During Covid-19

Follow Sister Judy as she recites this beautiful prayer asking the Blessed Mother to continue to shine her light on us through this difficult situation we are in:

O Mary,
you always shine on our path
as a sign of salvation and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick,
who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm.
You, Salvation of the Roman People,
know what we need,
and we are sure you will provide
so that, as in Cana of Galilee,
we may return to joy and to feasting
after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father
and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who has taken upon himself our sufferings
and carried our sorrows
to lead us, through the cross,
to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.

Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

May God continue to hold each of you, your family and friends very closely for good health and peace,

Janice DeCicco Fipp                                                                                                                                           Principal SJRS
