Pilgrim Chapel:Oratory of St. Joseph
Oratory of St. Joseph
As pilgrims, we are on a journey to the sacred. The Oratory is more than just a place to pray - it's an experience. The oratory features a beautiful mosaic featuring several key moments in the life of St. Joseph, a work that tells a story to all pilgrims that visit the Chapel. The chapel is located just outside the entrance to the Gift Shop and is meant to be a place of prayer and reflection on the life of St. Joseph. Just as St. Joseph protected the Holy Family, we ask for his protection on all families, and God’s family, the Church.
La Dedicación
On the Feast of Saint Joseph the Work, Sunday, May 1, 2022, the Pilgrim Chapel: Oratory of St. Joseph was dedicated and blessed. Presiding was Bishop Kevin Sweeney of the Diocese of Paterson.
