Presented by Fr. Joe Paddock, Parochial Vicar

Little Flower Parish, Browning MT, Diocese of Helena MT

Today’s culture presents serious challenges to manhood and to the family. Catholic men are made for greatness but need the support of other men to live the lives of integrity and heroism for which God created them.  Who better to learn from how to transform themselves and their families in Christ  than from St. Joseph, the Protector of the Holy Family and Protector of the Universal Church?
