A Mother Turns to St. Joseph for Her Missionary Son (Family Rosary Across America)

Sometimes, even missionaries need a little help finding roommates!

On the Family Rosary Across America, Lydia from Bloomington, Minnesota, called Fr. Rocky with a heartfelt prayer intention for her son, Paul, a FOCUS missionary serving in Indianapolis.

Paul needs two good young Catholic men to share his house because he can no longer afford the rent on his own.

Living hundreds of miles away, Lydia wished she could do more to help her son. But when helping him seemed out of reach, Fr. Rocky offered something powerful: prayer.

“Let’s pray to Saint Joseph for this,” Fr. Rocky suggested, turning to the patron saint of workers and families.

It’s a beautiful reminder that no intention is too ordinary to bring before God. Whether we’re praying for healing, employment, housing, or a loved one’s needs, we can trust in His providence and ask the saints to intercede for us.
