  1. Thank you St.Joseph for your healing for my husband who has been going through excruciating pain for almost a year. He had a procedure done and so far no pain. Thank you Jesus, St Joseph. What would we do without our faith

  2. My mother had lots of fluid to her right lung and a tumour was causing it. She has been in much pain even after having the fluid removed. Doctors had indicated that it might be malignant and therefore carried out more tests. I prayed to st. Joseph to spare my mum from a cancer and pain. On the last day of the novena, results were out and the tumour wasn’t malignant. The pain ceased, my mum feels a lot better now. Glory to God and thank you st. Joseph:

  3. My son got the job he applied for and had a successful resolution to a court date for a traffic ticket. Thanks be to God and Saint Joseph’s powerful intercession! We are so grateful!

  4. A few days into the Novena to St. Joseph, my daughter sold her house. I had been praying so hard that St. Joseph would send them a buyer and he did. Also, she needs a job and has a few very good prospects and is on the verge of getting an offer. Thanks be to St. Joseph!!

  5. I am praying for a husband. I have not got him yet. But I thank God because I know the husband is coming.

  6. Our son had gone through some mental health issues, compounded by alcohol abuse, but his wife stuck by his side (God is good, all the time). He lost a good job with potential, paid for his bad decisions, and started to climb back up. A good viable job seemed unlikely. We have prayed these Novenas in the past but not with such a commitment maybe as this one to St Joseph the Worker. During the novena he got a lead on an opportunity and received the news on March 20. He is now in his third week of employment and soon will have insurance for his family. St Joseph, Guardian and Protector of the Holy Family, continue to intercede for us all.

  7. I prayed that I would find a way to pay my property taxes. If not paid my home would be sold. My children took care of the payment. Thank you, St. Joseph, for your intervention on my behalf.

  56. I’ve been praying many novenas for the past (almost) 5 years, crying 24/7, begging God for the return of my little son Michael home. He was abducted by his mother on Christmas Eve 2018 when he was 2 months old.

    I know, I know…
    A ‘mother’ is ALWAYS right (even if she is a psychopat and a child torturer).

    I’m glad to see the testimonies about God helping to find a job for X, or helping Y to pass the exams, etc.

    But He just refused to bring my Son home.

    You can say the usual stuff like ‘God’s timing is perfect’, ‘His wisdom is infinite’, etc., but it’s gonna be nothing but a warm air in an autumn breeze.
