What:
An inspiring, traditional march with Catholic men walking together in honor of St. Joseph. Along the way, we will recite the Litany of St. Joseph, the Holy Rosary, and sing hymns while carrying banners, flags, and sacramentals of our faith.

- Honor the Head of the Holy Family as the timeless model of true masculinity and a beacon of fortitude and strength
- Bear public witness to the beauty and dignity of Catholic culture.
- Seek St. Joseph’s intercession as we take up spiritual arms of fasting, prayer, and the sacraments in defense of Holy Mother Church.
- Offer reparation for sins, grow in holiness, and inspire others to grow in their faith.
