This week we celebrate the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is one of two feasts The Church celebrates for St. Joseph. In May, we celebrate St. Joseph the Worker. Very little is known about him, only what is spoken about him in scripture. We assume that he died before Jesus began His public ministry. Joseph is an example of faith, humili-ty, obedience to God, work, and love and protection for one’s family. He is the patron of carpenters, fathers, social justice, travelers, The Universal Church, and workers. St. Joseph pray for us!
