Feast of St. Joachim – July 26
This weekend we joyfully celebrate the Feast of St. Joachim, the patron saint of our parish. St. Joachim, together with his wife, St. Anne, is honored as the father of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the grandfather of Jesus. Although little is known about their lives, Christian tradition remembers them as faithful and devoted servants of God who raised Mary in love, prayer, and obedience to the Lord.
St. Joachim reminds us of the important role parents and grandparents have in passing on the gift of faith to future generations. Through their example of trust in God, perseverance, and family life, they continue to inspire us to build strong Christian homes rooted in prayer and love.
As we celebrate our parish feast day, let us thank God for the intercession of St. Joachim and ask him to bless our families, especially our parents and grandparents. May his example encourage us to remain faithful to Christ and to share our faith with those entrusted to our care.
St. Joachim, Patron of Our Parish, pray for us!
