1st May St Joseph's Day
In 1955, an additional feast day was declared by Pope Pius XII and is celebrated on May 1 as the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. This date is also International Workers' Day and believed to reflect Joseph as the patron saint of workers.
Who is St Joseph for us?
The husband of Mary and earthly father of Jesus, St Joseph is often referred to as the father in the shadows.
In fact, none of Joseph’s words are written in the gospels and little was recorded about his life.

We, you, me and St Joseph
Saint Joseph is a man of great spirit.
He is great in faith, not because he speaks his own words, but above all because he listens to the words of the Living God.
He listens in silence. And his heart ceaselessly perseveres in the readiness to accept the Truth contained in the word of the Living God. Like St Joseph, how strong is your faith in God?
How much trust do you have in God?
In the face of the ups and downs of life, do you believe that God will bring to fruition his plan for you?
Yes, you can be another St Joseph!
