St. Joseph Catholic Church

Welcome from Father Rob

Welcome to St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Beltsville, Maryland!  Our parish dates back to the 1880s and continues to be a vibrant faith and school community today.  I hope you will join us for Holy Mass and other parish events (in-person or virtually).  We have implemented a number of health and safety precautions to minimize the spread of the virus and keep everyone safe and protected.

Currently our in-person Masses require sign up in advance and we also offer virtual Masses and a weekly Holy Hour via Zoom.  If you would like to receive regular updates and gain access to the sign up genius and Zoom links, please sign up for my Flocknote emails below.

During this holy Year of St. Joseph, we especially welcome visitors to our parish for personal prayer.  For more information about the Year of St. Joseph, click here.   If you let me know in advance, I would be happy to give you a tour of our beautiful church.  

If you are new to the area and would like to become a parishioner, please register here.  If you are interested in becoming Catholic or if you are in need of pastoral care, please feel free to email me at:  frrob@stjosephbeltsville.org

Act of Consecration to St. Joseph

If you were not able to attend the Mass for Consecration to St. Joseph on Friday, March 19, you can pray this prayer on your own or with your family.  

O Glorious Patriarch and Patron of the Church!  O Virgin Spouse of the Virgin Mother of God!  O Guardian and Virginal Father of the Word Incarnate!  In the presence of Jesus and Mary, I choose you this day to be my father, my guardian, and my protector.

O great St. Joseph, whom God has made the Head of the Holy Family, accept me, I beseech you, though utterly unworthy, to be a member of your "Holy House."  Present me to your Immaculate Spouse; ask her also to adopt me as her child.  With her, pray that I may constantly think of Jesus, and serve Him faithfully to the end of my life.  O Terror of Demons, increase in me virtue, protect me from the evil one, and help me not to offend God in any way.  

O my Spiritual Father, I hereby consecrate myself to you.  In faithful imitation of Jesus and Mary, I place myself and all my concerns under your care and protection.  To you, after Jesus and Mary, I consecrate my body and soul, with all their faculties, my spiritual growth, my home, and all my affairs and undertakings.  Forsake me not, but adopt me as a servant and child of the Holy Family.  Watch over me at all times, but especially at the hour of my death.  Console and strengthen me with the presence of Jesus and Mary so that, with you, I may praise and adore the Holy Trinity for all eternity.  Amen.
