Saint Joseph

Spouse of Mary, foster father of Jesus, model of silent obedience and honest work.

St. Joseph is guardian of the Holy Family. The Gospel presents him as just, obedient, and discreet.

Patron of the universal Church and of workers, he is invoked in family decisions and uncertain times.

His main liturgical feast is March 19; St. Joseph the Worker is also celebrated on May 1.

Dedicated prayer

To the silent guardian of the Holy Family, we ask protection in work, family, and difficult paths.
