Pope Francis announced the “Year of St. Joseph” on Dec. 8 to inspire believers of Christ across the globe to venerate the man who “accepted Mary unconditionally,” taught the value of “participating in the work of salvation” and was a tender earthly father to Jesus.
The God Squad Canada, a Catholic men’s society headquartered in Calgary, answered the call to honour the man who Pope Pius IX decreed in 1870 as patron of the Catholic Church by hosting a virtual fundraiser called A Dram for St. Joseph Jan. 16.
This online gathering, streamed on YouTube, featured musical performances from the St. Francis Xavier Chaplaincy choir and traditional Celtic music from Ireland while participants indulged in various brands of whiskey from the comfort of their own homes.
