St. Joseph the Worker Shrine
We who minister at the Shrine are committed to work collaboratively with one another and with you. Our aim is to provide a place of prayer, conscious reflection, and social action that is hospitable to and calls forth the gifts of all who come to the Shrine. We do this in the spirit of Jesus Christ and of Saint Eugene de Mazenod, founder of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
Our mission is based on Matthew 11:28:
“Come to me all you who labor and are overburdened, and I will give you rest.”
