St. Joachim and St. AnneSt. Joachim is the father of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The feast was moved from March 20 to today by Pius X so that Our Lady's father may be remembered in the celebration of her triumph.
Collect: O God, who of all Thy saints didst choose blessed Joachim to be father to the Mother of Thy Son; grant, we beseech Thee, that we who keep his feast-day, may ever experience his patronage.
Offertory: Ps. 8. 6-7 Thou hath crowned him with glory and honour: and hast set him over the works of Thy hands, O Lord.
Communion: Luke 12. 42 A faithful and wise steward, whom his lord set over his family; to give them their measure of wheat in due season.
