DECREE DESIGNATING SAINT JOSEPH CHURCH AS THE DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE SITE DURING THE YEAR OF SAINT JOSEPH
For the spiritual well-being of the people of God, and for the fostering of greater devotion among the faithful to Saint Joseph, I hereby decree and designate the Church of Saint Joseph, located at 1010 Liberty Street, Camden, New Jersey, the diocesan pilgrimage site for the Diocese of Camden for the Year of Saint Joseph. This designation as a pilgrimage site will begin Thursday the 11th day of March 2021 and said designation will end Wednesday the 8th day of December 2021. The designation of Saint Joseph Church as the diocesan pilgrimage site is due to its age, having been dedicated in 1914, its classification as a historical landmark, its architectural style and artistic beauty.
That the Church of Saint Joseph has been designated a pilgrimage site, in virtue of the ordinary power granted to me by law and in virtue of canon 1233, I do hereby grant a partial indulgence from temporal punishment to any member of the Christian faithful who visits the Church of Saint Joseph between the 11th of March 2021 and the 8th of December 2021 who, during the visit, recites a prayer to Saint Joseph, with all other conditions being fulfilled.
A copy of this decree is to be hung in the Church of Saint Joseph for all the faithful to see.
Given in Camden on this the 2nd day of February 2021
Feast of Presentation of the Lord
Most Reverend Dennis J. Sullivan, D.D.
