This website is dedicated to the honor and glory of St. Joseph and Blessed Brother Andre. All who read this page can be assured of my prayers for them through the intercession of these two great men in heaven.

St. Joseph has always had a hand in my life, yet like St. Joseph's life itself, was seen only in looking back. I can remember choosing the name Joseph for my confirmation name, but never really gave it much thought at the time. Only in retrospect, did my choice of his name seem so prophetic.

I grew up in a practicing Catholic home, perhaps just like yours. Yet the name of Joseph rarely came up. I think my devotion to St. Joseph started upon visiting the famous St. Joseph's Oratory in Montreal, built by Brother Andre. I began to look for male role models for my life. I found them. Since then, I have been fortunate to visit several times.

Becoming a husband and father continued to spark my devotion. In times of trouble, I seem to rely more and more upon these heavenly men. Every time, the situation improved.

Allow me to share my experiences:
1. A few years ago, I was driving to work the same route I always take. At an intersection, where I would normally go left, I heard a strong masculine voice say to me go right. I went right in response. After two hours at work, I learned that a young mother and daughter were killed in a traffic accident along the route to the left. Other facts about the accident emerged that left no doubt in my mind, I would have been in the exact same spot at the exact time where the two ladies lost their lives. I attributed this protection over me to St. Joseph. And I offer my prayers to him for the mother and daughter who God called instead at the time.
2. About two years ago, my city was hit by four tornadoes. The sky was the darkest I had ever seen. My family took out some blessed candles, and in our basement, we prayed for the protection of our city to St. Joseph and Brother Andre. Much to our delight, the four tornadoes did minimal damage and no one was injured, let alone killed. In addition, my house was the only house inexplicably that had power in my neighborhood after the storm.
3. Last year, a storm hit my city with seven inches of rain. Water was flooding roads, homes and businesses. As I live at a corner, I watched and waited for the water to rise in my house. After moving everything I could to a higher location in my house. My daughter and I moved to the storm drain in our basement as the water started to come up. The water reached about three feet from the drain. Nothing yet was ruined, but the water was rising rapidly. She and I simply prayed to St. Joseph and Brother Andre that the water would stop rising and simply drain away. That very minute, the water stopped in its tracks, and drained away.
These were some tangible results of St. Joseph's and Brother Andre's intercession; the Lord only knows the intangible results!
In the last several years, I have promised St. Joseph that I would erect web page in his honor. It has not been an easy task. The purpose of this site is to encourage you to seek the help of St. Joseph and his friend, Brother Andre. Those who sincerely seek the intercession of St. Joseph and Brother Andre will not be disappointed.
