O GOD, Who through St. Joseph, Thy Confessor, didst provide Thy Church with new helpers for training the young in the spirit of piety and understanding, grant, we beseech Thee, that by his example and intercession we may so work and so teach as to win everlasting rewards.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
