composed by Pope Leo XIII To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our tribulation, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke your patronage also. Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessities. O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness. As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen. Click on the link for interview of the National Director on Saint Philomena with Drew Mariani on Relevant Radio
  Requiescat in Pace  Dear Devotees of Saint Philomena and friends of her Sanctuary, It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to the greatest devotee of Saint Philomena in our time. Monsignor Giovanni Braschi October 24, 1943 - February 26, 2021 Custodian of the Sacred Body of Saint Philomena President and Spiritual Director of the Universal Archconfraternity of Saint Philomena Passed away suddenly on February 26th, 10:30 in the Sanctuary of Saint Philomena in the presence of loved ones. He was suffering from bronchitis over the past week which had worsened in the past day. Today Our Lord called him home when his heart stopped. Msgr. Braschi or as he was affectionately known, Don Giovanni, has always recounted that he wanted to take his last breath in the Sanctuary of Saint Philomena which had been his home for more than 37 years and he loved dearly. He was the worldwide expert on everything related to Saint Philomena and was definitely the greatest devotee of Saint Philomena our time has known. He is now in the presence of Saint Philomena and is at peace. Statue of Saint Philomena at Holy Martyrs Catholic Church
