Year of St. Joseph
On December 8, 2020, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as the Patron of the Universal Church, Pope Francis proclaimed December 8, 2020-December 8, 2021, as the Year of Saint Joseph. After the Mother of God, St. Joseph is probably the greatest of saints.
Pope Pius IX proclaimed St. Joseph patron of the Universal Church on December 8, 1870, in the decree Quemadmodum Deus. The Litany of St. Joseph was approved as a public (indulgenced) litany by Pope St. Pius X in 1909, one of only six litanies approved by the Church for public use. For the Litany of St. Joseph, click here.
In the decree of December 8, 2020, the Apostolic Penitentiary said that, "to reaffirm
the universality of St. Joseph's patronage in the Church," it would grant a plenary indulgence to Catholics who recite any approved prayer or act of piety in honor of St. Joseph, especially on March 19, the saint's solemnity, and May 1, the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. Other notable days for the plenary indulgence are the Feast of the Holy Family on December 29 and St. Joseph's Sunday in the Byzantine traditon, as well as the 19th of each month and every Wednesday, a day dedicated to the saint in the Latin tradition. The three conditions for receiving a plenary indulgence are sacramental Confession, the reception of Holy Communion and prayer for the pope's intentions.

Weekend:

 

From Rt. 283 and Rt. 30
 

Take the Rt. 501S Exit (Lititz Pike) or Rt. 272S (Oregon Pike) and follow signs for Downtown Lancaster. Proceed on Route 501S/272S over the bridge. Once across the bridge, you will approach a traffic light. Stay in the left lane and continue straight on to North Duke St.

Immediately after the traffic light, you will find the entrance to the St. Anne Church parking lot on the left-hand side of Duke St. Look for brick pillars marking the entrance to the lot.

There are two doors off the lot for entering the church. One door is accessed by a ramp from the parking lot.  It is wheelchair accessible; and, there are two designated handicapped parking spaces located adjacent to the ramp entrance.
