What About the Holy Cloak Novena?

Question:

Is the Holy Cloak of St. Joseph novena Church-approved?

Answer:

Yes, it is. This devotion is well known in Italy on account of the priests of the Work of St. Luigi Guanella, and it is a well-established devotion in honor of St. Joseph that has been known to gain many graces for those who practice it.

It began in the diocese of Lanciano in Italy in the late nineteenth century and received the approval of its bishop. The Church encourages the faithful to have recourse to St. Joseph in all their needs, and why not? He was chosen to supply the needs of the Lord Jesus himself, so Jesus is happy for him to help us who are his members and brethren.
