The purpose of the Men of St. Joseph is to instill holiness in men and facilitate spiritual leadership in family and community life."

The Men of St. Joseph chapter at St. Mary's completed a 33-day devotion and consecration to St. Joseph in March 2021.

"St. Joseph, help me to be like you. Help me to be obedient to the teachings of the Church and faithful to God's commands. Help me to patiently endure my cross each day. Let me be a model of holiness and a pillar of virtue. I solemnly promise to embrace God's will and I accept the challenge to work tirelessly for my family's salvation. Be my guide and companion on this journey. St. Joseph, Terror of demons, pray for us."
