Priest may begin adding Joseph’s name immediately
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis and retired Pope Benedict XVI both have a special devotion to St. Joseph and have assured that their devotion will be regularly shared at Mass by Catholics around the world.
The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments said Pope Francis confirmed a decision originally made by Pope Benedict to include St. Joseph permanently in the eucharistic prayers used at most Masses in the Latin rite.
