St. Joseph's Day

Saint Joseph’s day is on March 19, 2024 and celebrates St. Joseph, the Stepfather to Jesus and the husband to Mary. He is commemorated as the patron Saint of the Universal Church, unborn children, travelers, families, and workers. Joseph was a descendent of King David and lived in Nazareth as a carpenter. Joseph married Mary and then found out she was already pregnant. Joseph was worried, but was told by an angel in a dream that the child Mary was carrying was conceived by the Holy Spirit and was the son of God. Joseph did everything in his power to keep Mary and Jesus safe which included fleeing King Herod when he heard about the harm he wanted to cause the child. St. Joseph is celebrated for following the path that God made for his life which started with not divorcing Mary when he learned she was pregnant as well as believing that she was pregnant with the son of God. St. Joseph went above and beyond to keep Jesus safe and to serve God as directed. Present day, we honor and celebrate St. Joseph by holding Mass to honor and thank him for providing love and protection to Jesus and Mary.
