Saint Joseph the Worker

This week’s bonus Saint of the Week is the Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker.  Saint Joseph is my Patron Saint and I intend to feature him as often as I can. After all, he was the husband of Mary, the earthly father Jesus and the terror of demons, who can top that?  The Feast of St. Joseph the Worker was established Pope Pius XII in 1955 to honor St. Joseph, celebrate the Catholic Church’s commitment to the dignity of labor and in opposition to the Godless communists’ May Day celebration. 

Feast Day:  May 1st

Patron of: The universal Church, and many other patronages
